Highlighting its supreme capabilities, Porsche test driver Jorg Bergmeister propelled the 911 hybrid through a lap of the Nurburgring Nordschleife, clocking in an impressive 7 min 16.934 seconds – a full 8.7 seconds faster than the previous model. This feat was accomplished with standard road tyres and an optimized aero kit, showcasing the hybrid's exceptional performance under standard conditions.
"For the first time in our icon’s 61-year history, we are installing a hybrid drive system in a roadgoing 911," Frank Moser, Vice President of Model Line 911 and 718, announced. He emphasized the hybrid model's dynamic enhancement, hinting at a performance hybrid system seamlessly integrated into the legendary 911 framework, making it more dynamic and powerful than ever.
The development journey of the 911 hybrid was nothing short of rigorous, undergoing tests in extreme conditions around the globe, from the freezing terrain to the scorching heat of Dubai. This comprehensive testing protocol ensured its resilience and adaptability across varying environments, culminating in over five million kilometres of development driving. Such an exhaustive process underscores Porsche's dedication to excellence and reliability in their pioneering hybrid model.
This landmark hybrid model not only signifies a substantial leap towards sustainable performance but also affirms the 911's enduring legacy in the sports car domain. With its debut, Porsche is boldly steering towards an electrified future, promising an unmatched blend of performance, efficiency, and innovation.
