The first Porsche 911 for the road with a hybrid engine is all set to go. After much work and testing, the new 911 is built for high performance.

During tests, Porsche ambassador Jörg Bergmeister raced around the track in just 7 minutes and 16.934 seconds – that’s 8.7 seconds quicker than the old version. The test car had regular road tires and a special aero kit with a fixed rear wing, which gives extra downforce at high speeds.

Frank Moser, Vice President of Model Line 911 and 718, said:

“For the first time in our icon’s 61-year history, we are installing a hybrid drive system in a roadgoing 911. This innovative performance hybrid makes the 911 even more dynamic. We left nothing to chance during development and tested the new 911 under all sorts of conditions all over the world. From the freezing cold to scorching heat, as was the case during the final stages of testing in Dubai. Whether at a high drivetrain load in the demanding conditions of mountain passes or in the stop-and-go traffic of an urban environment, the new 911 has mastered even the most difficult challenges with aplomb. All in all, our engineers and test drivers clocked up more than five million kilometres of development driving.”
