2025 Porsche 911 Hybrid: Faster, More Powerful, and Tested Extensively
The highly anticipated next generation Porsche 911 is set to be unveiled on May 28, and Porsche has provided a glimpse into what we can expect. The company has revealed that the new model will feature some degree of hybridization, marking a significant shift towards electrification for the iconic sports car.
One of the most exciting aspects of the upcoming 911 is its performance. Porsche shared that a hybrid-powered 911 completed a lap around the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife in an impressive time of 7 minutes and 16.934 seconds. This lap time is 8.7 seconds faster than the previous model, showcasing the advancements in speed and agility that the hybrid technology brings.
While Porsche did not disclose the exact model that achieved this lap time, they mentioned that the test car was equipped with standard road tires and an aero kit featuring a fixed rear wing. This suggests that even with these standard components, the hybrid 911 was able to outperform its predecessor. Jörg Bergmeister, a Porsche brand ambassador, was behind the wheel for this record-breaking lap and praised the new 911’s performance, stating, “We have more grip, significantly more power, and the spontaneous response of the performance hybrid is a great advantage.”
In addition to highlighting the 911’s performance, Porsche also emphasized the extensive testing that went into developing the hybrid model. Frank Moser, the model line vice president for the 911, stated, “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.” The engineers and test drivers accumulated an impressive 3.1 million miles of development driving, ensuring that the hybrid 911 is ready to deliver exceptional performance in any scenario.
This commitment to thorough testing and development demonstrates Porsche’s dedication to creating a truly remarkable hybrid sports car. By pushing the boundaries and optimizing every aspect of the 911, Porsche aims to deliver a driving experience that is both electrifying and exhilarating.
