New 911 Fixes Turbo’s Biggest Problem

We talked about Porsche’s T-Hybrid electrically assisted turbo 3 days before anyone else. Several other widely-reported rumors turned out to be false. The description is updated with correct info. Corrections following May 28 reveal: -The reported engine rumors turned out to be incorrect: The new 3.6 is single-turbo making 478 hp, the electric motor makes 54 hp, for a combined output of 532 hp. -The electric motor is integrated with the PDK, not directly driving the front wheels as originally rumored. The upcoming 992.2 has a 400v electric system, but won’t have Active Ride like the Taycan and Panamera Hybrid. That’ll have to wait until a full battery electric 911 appears in 2028. The 911’s t-hybrid system was designed to create horsepower and not for efficiency, which is why it has a small battery like the Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray. So the battery will be powering the wheels and providing electric assist to the turbo, helping to reduce turbo lag and boost threshold, with a system derived from the LeMans winning Porsche 919 LMP1 hybrid race car. 00:00 New 911 Hybrid 00:13 No Active Ride 01:04 Performance Hybrid 01:51 Electric Assist Turbo 03:18 Full Electric Turbo? 04:04 Porsche’s Future 🔴 Follow us! 📱TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@overdrive.studios 📸 Instagram - https://instagram.com/followoverdrive/ 🔵 Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/overdrive.studioshq/ ⭕ How Porsche's Active Ride Works https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqtbOiipJRc ⭕ Mazda's Performance Hybrid Rotary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vEzK6yGA64 Writer/Host: Tiernan A.I.
