As part of the Stuttgart Model Region for Electromobility in early 2011, Porsche AG will begin e-mobility tests with three research cars based on the Porsche Boxster with all-electric drive.
The President and Chief Executive Officer of Porsche AG Michael Macht explains: “We will definitely be offering an electric sports car in future. But such a concept only makes sense if it offers performance and a cruising range comparable to that of a sports car today.”
The spectacular 918 Spyder concept study is a high-performance mid- engined sports car with plug-in hybrid technology. It combines high- tech breakthroughs in engine technology and electromobility with a truly fascinating range of sporting qualities. Emissions of just 70 g/ km CO2, fuel consumption of just 3 L/100 km and 600 horsepower.
The hybrid system of the 911 GT3 R Hybrid has been developed especially for racing, with two 60 kW (82 hp) electric motors on the front axle providing a boost for the 480 hp six-cylinder power unit fitted at the rear. Replacing conventional batteries is an electrical flywheel power storage system which is recharged whenever the driver applies the brakes.
With the Cayenne S Hybrid, Porsche also offers its first production car able to run under electric power alone. With maximum output of 380 hp, the Cayenne S Hybrid consumes just 8.2 L/100 km and pares CO2 emissions to 193 g/km. The hybrid technology from the Cayenne S Hybrid will also be featured in the Panamera S Hybrid, which will enter the market next year.
