As for what kind of hybrid setup the newest 911 entails, that’s still up for speculation, but it’s a big deal nonetheless. It’s still an unknown how Porsche worked its hybrid magic on the 911’s iconic rear-engine flat-six powered drivetrain.
Of course, the Porsche 911 is one of the most famous performance cars ever made — debatably the most famous performance car ever made — so Porsche has a lot riding on the new hybrid drivetrain depending on how the public responds to it. Still, if the preliminary Nürburgring lap times are any indication, strict racing fans won’t have a lot to worry about.
Porsche is debuting the new 911 on May 28th at 9 am EST on its press website, so the automotive world will just have to hold its breath until then for specifics. Until then, Porsche fans get hyped for the newest 911 variant that’s a little more electrifying than other variants of the storied model.
