Speaking to the press at the Detroit auto show this week, Porsche's 911 engineering boss Dr Erhard Mossle stated in an interview: “We are, of course, working on different solutions and we’re also working on an all-electric car. And of course, we are discussing plug-in solutions for the 911, but there are a lot of things to solve with packaging in the car and other things to solve. That means the S will now reach a maximum of 205mph with a 0-60mph time of 2.8 seconds, making it the fastest 911 ever. It will be in the next generation, yes.” The next version of the 911 is expected in about four years. Porsche has been developing its own electric cars since 2009, when it unveiled the first concept car, called the Mission E, which was based around a 2.0-litre petrol engine. “When we see the 911, we see the plug-in hybrid as a performance car – it will always be for performance.”
