• Around the 12.94-mile Nürburgring Nordschleife, the new hybrid Porsche 911 took 7:16.934 seconds, which is 8.7 seconds less time than the old one.
  • There is some disagreement about this, with the Carrera S and GTS getting the most attention. This is because Porsche still needs to confirm which 992.1 model the hybrid 992.2 beat.
  • Porsche is almost done with the new hybrid powertrain for the 911. On May 28, when the 992.2 generation is shown to the public for the first time, more information about the lap times will be released.

When it comes out, the new Porsche 911 hybrid will be much faster on a racetrack than the old one. No name was given to the 992.2-generation hybrid car that Porsche said finished the 12.94-mile Nürburgring Nordschleife in Germany in 7:16.934 minutes last week. It was a big deal for the company that the time was 8.7 seconds faster than the “corresponding version of the predecessor model.” Which type of 992.1 is that? However, that’s what everyone is most interested in.

It took 8.7 seconds less for the Porsche 911 Hybrid to beat the old record on the Ring

A Title Called That 992.1

Porsche says that the 2020 911 Carrera S set a time of 7 minutes and 25 seconds in 2019, which is about 8.1 seconds slower than the new hybrid. The track’s owners started enforcing new lap time limits at the same time. These time limits included the beginning and end of a circle. Because the “Ring” grew from 12.8 miles to 12.94 miles, lap times that were recorded before and after the 2019 rule changes can’t be fairly compared. We learned something when Honda talked about the Civic Type R S’s “Ring time.”

However, it needs to be clarified how much the timing of the 992.1 Carrera S with the old or new rules changed the result. Also, the Porsche Club of America says that the 992.1 GTS’s official lap time was 7:25.632, which is 8.698 ticks slower than the new hybrid 911. The PCA’s study is good, and the GTS is probably faster than the hybrid car on the track, though this hasn’t been proven yet.

Porsche also said that the hybrid car that Jörg Bergmeister drove around the Ring had a fixed rear wing and an aero package, both of which are currently on the market. It wasn’t said that the hybrid car had standard road tires.

Of course, we’ll soon find out who owns the gas-electric 911. The new Porsche 992.2 generation will be shown to the public for the first time on Tuesday, May 28, 2019. The public will then learn more about the next 911, especially its hybrid engine, which the car company just finished working on.

According to Invoice Pricing, Rimac helped create the new hybrid engine. The hybrid 911 will likely have a 395-hp twin-turbo 3.0-liter flat-six engine, an integrated starter-generator, and an electric motor that can produce between 80 and 90 horsepower. Together, these parts will produce about 475 horsepower. Surprise, it’s the same as the present GTS.
