Recently, Motor Trend sat down with Frank Moser, Vice President Model Lines 911 and 718, to discuss the future of the 911, which celebrates its 60th anniversary this year. Moser announced that Porsche is actively developing the 992.2, a model that will introduce a “hybrid, a performance hybrid.” He went on to reveal that it’s slated for release “about in the middle of the decade.”
Eager for more specifics, Motor Trend pressed Moser on when the first hybrid 911 would arrive, to which he responded, “Maybe two years.” This indirect confirmation suggests that the initial versions of the 992.2 will not be hybrids. The electrified model(s) will likely find their foundation in one of the high-performing members of the extensive 911 lineup. Regardless of the specific form it takes, Michael Steiner, Porsche board member for development, emphasized the importance of keeping the hybrid sports car from becoming excessively heavy.
