News - Porsche gives some details on new 911 model with hybrid engine

It's no secret that the next Porsche 911 will offer some degree of hybridization, and today, the company released a few details ahead of the full 2025 Porsche 911 reveal on May 28, reports Autoblog. A new, hybrid-powered 911 completed one lap of the Nurburgring Nordschleife in 7:16.934 minutes, which is 8.7 seconds faster than "the corresponding version of the predecessor model." Porsche offers that "the test car was equipped with standard road tires, plus the aero kit with a fixed rear wing that has been available as an option previously." The lap was completed by Porsche brand ambassador Jorg Bergmeister. "We have more grip, significantly more power, and the spontaneous response of the performance hybrid is a great advantage," said Bergmeister in Porsche's release. "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," said Frank Moser, the model line vice president for the 911, in Porsche's release. "All in all, our engineers and test drivers clocked up more than 3.1 million miles of development driving."
