Will Porsche build a Porsche 911 Sedan?

Will Porsche build a Porsche 911 Sedan? They have built a concept before but it never made it to production.

We have some inside information that Porsche is thinking about this idea. Porsche is already offering plug-in-hybrid versions of the Cayenne and the Porsche Panamera. On an even loftier plane, there is of course the Porsche 918 Spyder. The logical next step would be a Porsche EV somewhere in between those poles.

The car would be a sporty four-seat four-door in a smaller than Porsche Panamera package with clear 911 overtones. Ground-hugging and emphatically dynamic in appearance, the car—which might be badged Porsche 717.

It is hard to judge whether Porsche’s provisional launch date of early 2019 is realistic or wishful thinking. The same applies to projected technical details, which, according to one insider, include three different e-power stages rated at 400, 500, and 600 hp. The average driving-range target is in excess of 300 miles. As a rule, there is one electric motor per axle.
