Amidst all the fanfare surrounding EVs\u2014much of it starting from within Porsche’s own camp<\/a>\u2014the thought of the company’s flagship 911 model being subjected to some form of electrification has often been overlooked. This sentiment is overwhelmingly a reflection of enthusiasts and consumers who, deep down inside, are resigned to the fact that this is inevitable if the 911 lineage is to continue in the years and decades to follow. Porsche themselves though\u2014reluctantly, or not\u2014have already been hard at work embracing this notion, and are now showing tangible evidence of what the path forward will look like.<\/p>\n

In my personal experience<\/a>, I believe that Porsche’s fully-electric platform<\/a>\u2014exclusively represented by the Taycan range<\/a> for now\u2014provides very promising prospects and a solid template for a future with ICE-less 911 models. But that’s something we won’t have to think about much, at least for now, as hybridization, rather than full-on electrification, will be Porsche’s immediate solution to address the changing automotive landscape; and it’s more than likely that we’ll see this come to fruition during the current 992-generation.<\/p>\n

To quell any doubts of this being the case, the proof is in the pudding, as they used to say. The video below (credit: CarSpyMedia<\/a>) shows what conspicuously appears to be a 911 Hybrid being tested at the N\u00fcrburgring Nordschleife earlier this month.<\/p>\n
