Porsche 911 Hybrid Confirmed, Debuts Later This Year

Yes, you read that right. The iconic Porsche 911 is set to welcome a hybrid variant for the first time this year.


It’s been rumoured for a while, and now it’s now confirmed. The iconic Porsche 911 sportscar is set to see a hybrid petrol-electric version debut for the first time this year. Plans for which were confirmed through Porsche's 239-page Annual and Sustainability Report for 2023 released this week.

The new Porsche 911 Hybrid will form part of long-awaited mid-cycle update for the latest eighth-generation model – widely dubbed as 992.2 – that’s set for release this year. This major revision has been developed over the past two years, and will changes to the exterior and interior as well.

Crucially, the 992.2 stands as one of four new models Porsche will release in the market this year. Included too are the new Panamera, Taycan, and Macan. In other words, 2024 will stand as Porsche most significant and busiest year yet.

2024 will be a busy year for Porsche. Besides the revised 992.2 version of the 911, the Stuttgart sportscar brand is also releasing three other new models, namely the Macan, Taycan, and Panamera.


The changes in the 992.2 update are intended at keeping the 911’s appeal through to 2027, which is when an all-new ninth-generation successor is due. Before which, we can expect the 992.2-generation 911 to spearhead said successor’s eventual electrification.

For the first time in its six-decade-long history, the Porsche 911 Hybrid is set to see its iconic rear-mounted flat-six powerplant get augmented with added electric propulsion. This is set to appear first in all-wheel-drive (AWD) versions of the 911 – presumably from the Carrera 4 onwards.

Initial reports indicate that the 992.2-based 911 Hybrid model will underpin all-wheel-drive (AWD) versions of the 911 - likely the Carrera 4 onwards. (Note: Current 992-gen Carrera S pictured)


For this, the package combines a tuned version of Porsche’s turbocharged 6-cyl engine with a specially designed electric motor housed within the front axle assembly. The former will primarily drive the rear wheels, whereas the latter is tasked with driving the front wheels.

Additionally, a 48-volt integrated starter motor primed in the 911’s dual-clutch (DCT) automatic box will also provide electric boosting properties plus power for ancillary components.

Porsche claims this new 400-volt system will generate its own energy reserves using the engine as a generator – functioning similarly as a range-extender drivetrain. Energy will also be generated through brake regeneration, which foregoes the need for external charging.

A specially developed lightweight lithium-ion battery will store electric energy, though its capacity won’t be similar as those used by Ferrari and Mercedes-AMG in their plug-in hybrid (PHEV) performance models. Instead, it has been configured for rapid energy charge and discharge.

The new 911 Hybrid marks the first time in the iconic sportscar nameplate's history, which spans over six decades, to adopt an electrified powertrain.


Porsche didn’t disclose any tentative output figures. Given its knack for delivering properly high outputs via hybrid powertrains as seen in the Turbo E-Hybrid and Turbo S E-Hybrid guises of both the new Cayenne and Panamera, we can perhaps expect similar output levels.

Moreover, the rumoured new hybrid-powered 911 GT2 RS successor has been planned too. This track-honed special based on the 992.2-gen 911 model is widely expected to deliver no less than 800 HP when it launches later.

For said upcoming GT2 RS successor, Porsche elected for a drivetrain for it developed by Croatian EV performance specialists Rimac – Porsche owns 45% stake which. Said drivetrain was also developed jointly by both of Porsche’s motorsports and production arms.

A hybrid-powered successor to the manic GT2 RS is also tipped to spawn from the 992.2-gen model, with sources claiming it will promise no less than 800 HP.


Apart from this, other variants of the heavily revised 911 are expected to retain their current combustion powertrains. Porsche also reconfirmed that a full electric version of the 911 isn’t in the pipelines, and with good reasons too.

Porsche famously promised that its 911 will be the last to go all-electric. Until then, the brand envisions its iconic sportscar to progress into the future with electrified combustion engines in combination with new e-fuel derivatives at providing net-zero emissions.

Expect more details surrounding the heavily revised eighth-generation Porsche 911 once it debuts this year circa summer. In the meantime, what are your thoughts? Ready to see the iconic 911 go hybrid? Would you fancy one? Share your thoughts in the comments below then…
