@@mauricetoussaint7283 Nope, totally disagree. The analogue dial should have remained, as should the turny fake key starter thingy. The fact that the analogue dial is actually stepper motor controlled is irrelevant, it's how it looks on the cluster even when the car is switched off.

They should reinvent the hybrid naming scheme for this car, its not a hybrid to enchance fuel economoy, its an integrate electric motor system that virtually eliminates turbo lag, and giving instantaneuos power on conditions that require it, sort of like F1 cars.

Yeah i was going to say something similar. It's not a compromise in any way and it's nothing to do with fuel economy it's about making the best ICE car possible.

[@hagestad]

what they do is they copied existing aftermarket hybrid solutions for older 911 (albeit those did not have electric powered turbo)

[@MrHighlyEvolved]

I'm not a huge Porsche fan as I don't find them very aestheically pleasing in looks or sound, but I have to give it to them that their cars always have a great stance. The wheel gap is always just about perfect. I don't understand why other manufacturers can't do the same.

[@jpkc86]

The slide transition from track to street… dope!!

[@borjastick]

Fabulous Rory, well done, great review. I loved this thing from the get go when it was announced and have been playing on their website configurating it ever since. I would go for the Targa. The one thing that was a shock was the economy or lack thereof. My only other distraction would be an Artura so when I win the lottery this week I'll be off to both Porsche and McLaren dealerships immediately.

[@The.JZA.]

1.9 kWh sounds like it would be plenty for a mild hybrid system so long as the battery can charge and discharge very quickly and do so without damaging the battery i.e. it would need a very long cycle life. TBH it seems like a super capacitor would be better for this job but they take space and are heavy (relatively). A 1.9kWh battery, if discharged in say 2 minutes, could output 1.9/(2/60)=57 kW so if the battery can charge relatively quickly from the turbo and then discharge quickly when on the throttle it could still gave a very healthy burst of energy. It's obviously not designed to drive solely on the battery, just a boost when on the throttle hard.

[@tacodias]

When @The.JZA thinks he knows better than the nerds at Porsche

[@stanvanillo9831]

Lol, bro, I am sure Porsche spent some thinking about this solution.

[@The.JZA.]

@@stanvanillo9831 I didn’t say I disagree with them. Where did I say that I disagree with them? I literally said in the first sentence that it’s plenty and then I spent many sentences after that explaining why I agree with them. The only place where I gave an alternative was when I said that a super capacitor would probably do a better job because they have a humongous cycle like (10,000+ cycles) but then offered that it may be a weight and space limitation (and perhaps cost). So again, please tell me where I disagreed with Porsche?

I think the new Hybrid systems are good if in the future it leads to Porsche's amazing new active Suspension systems are available in the 911. Currently these systems are only on the Taycan and Hybrid Panamera as they need large amounts of electrical power to operate. So if a 911 Hybrid means those systems can be brought to the 911 I say go for it Porsche!!!

[@vishnuisgreat471]

Would an actual manual version be available?

[@van123446]

the speaker amplified noise aside,,, I'm betting on the future for the 911. This Gts comes without back seats, you can have them if you want though. But imagine taking that lump of engine from behind the rear wheels, next subtracting that mass of steel PDK and hybrid motor, gas tank, front battery and replacing it with two or four electric motors all between the front and rear wheel ( perfectly balanced ) all providing 7-800 hp and equal or more torque. Add on torque vectoring at each wheel ( for the awd version ) and with the future or batteries where weight will be cut in half with higher density, well, like I said,, aside from speaker amplified noise. But in truth, fake engine noise is already a thing with EV's. And it can only get better, if that is your thing. Me, I'd take precision, and a lightweight balanced car with unlimited torque any day. And yes I did like the noise my 992 GT3 made while I owned it, and even more with my 458.. Thing is none of us have driven an electric sports car that weighs less than a GT3 with twice the power yet.

[@descendency]

Why didn't Porsche make it fully electric? Because it's a better track car as a gas powered car or even a hybrid. I'm a huge EV fan, but the weight of an EV is just hard to overcome on a track, which is why the fastest Nuremberg Ring laps are in a 911 GT3RS, not a Taycan Turbo GT, Model S Plaid, Lucid Air Sapphire, etc. I guess you could have gotten a better drag strip car out of an EV, but I'm not sure that's what Porsche wants to sell.
