While such a car was always inevitable, it has long seemed just out of reach. Now, though, Porsche has announced that not only is a hybrid 911 on its way, but it will arrive this summer. The [Porsche 911]() hybrid will arrive alongside a product upgrade for the entire 911 lineup, which is set to arrive early this summer. “Once again we are deploying technology in series-production models that we have derived from the world of motorsport," said Porsche CEO Oliver Blume. "And our customers can look forward to further technological innovations along those same lines." But what does a hybrid 911 with technology "derived from the world of motorsport" look like? [Last year, Blume said]() that the hybrid 911 wouldn't be a plug-in, though he never specified the type of powertrain it would have. Rumors suggest it could be like the [Corvette E-Ray](), with a small battery and electric motor powering the front wheels but a twin-turbo flat-six powering the rears instead of a V8 like the Chevy, of course. Rimac could even help with the battery tech since Porsche owns a large stake in the electric supercar company. ![]() **Porsche** However, Porsche's [press release]() also said that the brand is committed to three types of powertrains: "efficient ICEs (internal combustion engines), exciting plug-in hybrids and innovative all-electric models." So does a high-performance conventional hybrid count as an efficient ICE? Regardless of the specifics, the [911 hybrid]() will be a defining moment for the brand. Every other Porsche model now has either a hybrid or fully electric powertrain option on sale or in the works. While the [electric Boxster ]()isn't here just yet, it was announced long before the 911 hybrid and we've already seen Porsche testing it. Once the 911 hybrid debuts, the brand will officially be completely electrified. *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
