This week, for the first time ever, porsche has provided us with official information about the upcoming 911 hybrid, and while they're still keeping many things a secret, they've given us a few very revealing pieces of information.
Now I just want to say something to the porschefiles, to the automotive purists out there: this is not the beginning of the end.
I know you're seeing a lot of comments about the internal combustion engine going away in a few years, but you can disregard those comments because they are incorrect. The internal combustion engine is going to be around for a very long time, and it's only going to get more efficient and more powerful. And Porsche has stated that they are committed to internal combustion engines and I promise you the foreseeable future of the Porsche 911 is going to be bright.
In this weeks announcement from Porsche about the 911 hybrid, they stated 3 things: they've tested the hybrid drivetrain for approximately 3.1 million miles, the car achieved a nurburgring lap time of seven minutes and 16.934 seconds, and it is going to be revealed on May 28th.
It's being widely reported that the incoming hybrid will be the 911 Carrera S or the Carrera GTS, and when I say widely reported, I mean pretty much every automotive media outlet is saying this, but the new hybrid not going to be the carrera S or the GTS, and we know this because the ultra fast 992 Turbo S completed the Nurburgring in seven minutes and 17.3 seconds, almost 1 second slower than the 911 hybrid, and porsche is not about to make the 911 carrera S or GTS faster than the 911 Turbo S.
We know for sure that the new 911 hybrid is going to be an ultra high performance model but it will most likely be a new stand alone trim, and not a replacement for any of the models in Porsche's current 911 lineup.
The 911 hybrid is what's called a mild hybrid, which means the added electric system only serves as a performance booster, and is not meant to power the entire car. Also, it will not be a plug-in hybrid, Instead it will rely on a multi-stage brake energy recuperation system, and a variable-geometry turbine within the exhaust tract to allow it to generate power under acceleration.
The electric motor was developed by Porsche, Bosch and Williams Advanced Engineering and is likely a modified version of the motor currently powering the 963 LMHd racecar. The new motor drives several components, including the front wheels, an integrated starter generator for the six-cylinder internal combustion engine, and a high-voltage 2 kWh battery. It may also assist the spooling of the turbos to further increase acceleration.
Increased weight has been a major consideration of Porsche, and to reduce the weight of the new hybrid system as much as possible, porsche has utilized a 400V system which keeps the electric components small and light. The new hybrid system has been reported to only weigh 200lb, which is incredibly light. And to further offset the weight, Porsche may be using carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic for some of the body panels, and polycarbonate for the windows.
As of now we're not sure which internal combustion engine is powering the 911 hybrid, but it is most likely a modified version of the 3 liter motor found in the current carrera lineup. And this probably goes without saying, but there will not be a manual transmission option.Now in the video that porsche released this week, we actually got a pretty good view of the new interior, so let's take a closer look at that.
The dash has been blurred out but we can see three distinct large gauges, that from this image, look to feature metal bezels, which contradicts the prediction of the all digital dash that most people were expecting. I know that this effect can be recreated digitally, but that looks like an actual metal reflection, and that reflection is not found on the other 2 gauges which leads me to believe this is actual physical metal on all three gauges, which is a big change from the 992.1 911, which only had 1 metal bezel. The left gauge looks to be providing up to date tire pressure readings, and possibly current power readings for the internal combustion and electric motors. The center gauge is a tachometer and it appears to have a white or silver background with black numbers, and the gauge on the right looks to be providing live readings for 7 or 8 different vehicle systems.
It's interesting to see that porsche has gone with a 3 gauge set up, which is more akin to the cayman and boxster, rather than the 5 gauge setup typically associated with the 911.
