The purists can rest easy: A battery-powered version of the Porsche 911 is not on the way.
The German automaker’s CEO Michael Leiters said the brand has no intention of releasing a fully electric version of its most iconic model, according to Reuters. The sports car has been available as a hybrid for two years now, but that’s as far as the company plans to go.
The executive comments, which were made at an event hosted by the magazine Auto, Motor und Sport, should put an end to speculation about the possibility of a 911 EV for the foreseeable future. Porsche has never said such a vehicle was coming, but it is something that industry insiders and enthusiasts alike have been speculating since the marque announced it was working on an hybrid 911 earlier this decade. There are currently two such models on offer, the GTS and Turbo S, both of which pair a boxer six-cylinder engine with the company’s T-Hybrid system. That, though, appears to be as far as Porsche is willing to push the model in terms of electrification—at least for the time being.
