Stuttgart. The first Porsche 911 sports car for the road with a hybrid drive
is in the starting blocks. Following an extensive development and testing
programme, the new 911 with a performance-focused hybrid drive is ready for
series production.

More than five million kilometres of testing
"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," says Frank Moser, Vice President Model
Line 911 and 718. "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."

Faster than its predecessor on the Nürburgring by 8.7 seconds
Testing and tuning on the Nürburgring Nordschleife has always had a special
significance during development of the 911. Over the course of performance
testing, Porsche brand ambassador Jörg Bergmeister completed a lap of the
circuit in 7:16.934 minutes - 8.7 seconds faster than the corresponding
version of the predecessor model. The test car was equipped with standard
road tyres, plus the aero kit with a fixed rear wing that has been available
as an option for several model generations now, and which provides increased
downforce at high speeds.

"The new 911 has become considerably faster on the track," says Bergmeister.
"We have more grip, significantly more power, and the spontaneous response
of the performance hybrid is a great advantage."

Broadcast in the Porsche Newsroom
The world premiere of the new Porsche 911 will be broadcast on 28 May at
15:00 CEST in the Porsche Newsroom at newsroom.porsche.de, and on the
Porsche channels on YouTube and LinkedIn. It will also subsequently be
available to watch on demand.
