So Ferrari has been content to concentrate on its core product’s bodywork and leave the sainted mechanicals largely untouched. Electrification isn’t allowed near the sacrosanct V12. Trust Porsche to do the opposite. The new 911 looks like the old 911 – on top, but not underneath.
Welcome to the T-hybrid. That’s T for turbo, a word Porsche plays fast and loose with these days. And it’s already muddying the waters with how quick it is. The official claim is 0–62mph in three seconds dead. But the engineers will tell you 2.8. Guffawing about Dominic Toretto, they’ll point out the middle of the range 911 is a 10secs car in the quarter mile.
Because, for the first time trouble and not roll it out across the family?
