Porsche Hybrid Vehicles – Video

 

Doing one thing without neglecting the other – that sums up the Porsche philosophy pretty well. From classic sports cars to four-door vehicles – all models from Zuffenhausen and Leipzig reconcile seeming opposites. This is a key aspect of the brand’s core values. When it comes to the subject of electrification there is a particular focus on the opposites innovation/tradition and performance/everyday practicality. With regard to innovation, the sports car manufacturer demonstrates its outstanding engineering time and again with every new model generation. Against the background of several independent studies which say that the market share of vehicles powered partially and fully by electricity will exceed that of vehicles with combustion engines in the next 15 to 25 years, Porsche is investing in its future in this area.

 

 

As early as 2010 the company was one of the first premium manufacturers to introduce a hybrid model on the market – the Cayenne S Hybrid. Plug-in hybrid versions followed as the next evolutionary step, led by the 918 Spyder super sports car. “This is the best example of how plug-in hybrid drives hugely increase driving dynamics and driving pleasure with the additional power and increased torque of the electric motor”, says Dr Stefan Weckbach, Head of the BEV model series (GB). After all, both have a tradition at Porsche. To bring the figures to mind once again: system power of 887 hp, acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.6 seconds, average fuel consumption 3.1 l/100 km, electrical energy consumption 12.7 kWh/100 km. Performance through and through!
