Spy photographers have caught the 2019 Porsche 911
on numerous occasions and new details are starting to emerge about the upcoming
model.
Automobile reports the car will use an upgraded
six-cylinder engine which is codenamed the EA9A2. The engine family will
reportedly benefit from improved combustion techniques as well as new
technologies. The model is also expected to adopt a 48V mild hybrid system
which increases the output by 20 hp and 70 Nm of torque.
While specifications remain unconfirmed, the
publication says the next Carrera will be rated at 400 hp while the
Carrera S climbs to 450 hp. Later on, the company will introduce a new
GT3 with a twin-turbo 3.8-liter flat-six engine that is rumored to develop 550
hp. It will eventually be joined by two new 911 Turbos and the Turbo S
is slated to produce 620 hp.
Rumors about a 911 plug-in hybrid have been swirling
for awhile and Porsche CEO Oliver Blume told the publication the car will be
launched as “soon as there is a market for it, which analysts say will be
around 2023.” It will reportedly use a 3.0-liter flat-six engine, a 10.8 kWh
battery, and an electric motor that produces 94 hp and 310
Nm of torque. This setup will reportedly give the model a combined output of
485 hp and 759 Nm of torque. While it won’t be the fastest
or most powerful 911, the car will reportedly accelerate from 0-60 mph in 3.5
seconds, hit a top speed of 317 km/h, and have an electric-only range
in excess of 64 km/h.
