Porsche is working on the development of electrically powered cars

Porsche AG is working consistently to further develop concepts such hybrid models are already available in large number, and three research vehicles based on the Boxster model solely electric propulsion.

Electric power will play a role increasingly important in developing more comprehensive concept of "Intelligent Performance Porsche. To more effectively with even lower consumption and emissions, Porsche AG consistently working to further develop concepts such hybrid models are already available in large number, and three research vehicles based on the Boxster model powered solely electricity and to participate in practical tests under the "Stuttgart - Region Model for Electromobilitate.

These three electric models Boxster are designed to provide, through testing, important initial information on new electric propulsion components and propulsion systems, battery power exclusively. In early 2011 provided start practical test, which aims, among others, and revealing information on infrastructure needed for electromobilitate on users' behavior and requirements on future products.

Performance of a sports car that goes far beyond the power of 600 hp are offered in terms of specific emissions of the lower class cars, or 70 g / km CO2 at a rate of 3 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers, according to NEDC (New European Driving Cycle).

A hybrid system of the 911 GT3 Hybrid has been specially developed to be integrated into racing cars, two electric motors one 60 hp on the front axle, claiming 480 hp engine with six cylinders located at the rear of the car. An electrical energy storage system, uploaded to each stop through flywheel replaces conventional battery, supplying electric motors. 911 GT3 R Hybrid has already proven qualities of the car rally, the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring.

Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid is the first production car range with the ability to run and purely electrical. With a total power of 380 hp Cayenne S Hybrid satisfied with just 8.2 liters per 100 kilometers, according to NEDC (New European Driving Cycle) and CO2 emissions amount to only 193 g / km. This hybrid technology will be implemented for future S Panamera Hybrid model, which will be launched on the market next year.
