The new Porsche 911 (992.2) will have its world premiere on May 28, 2024 at 10 p.m. (Japan time)

Where can you see the world premiere of the 992.2 Porsche 911?

At last, the announcement of the world premiere date for the latest version of the Porsche 911, the 992.2 model, has arrived!

At that time, Japan timeMay 28, 2024 (Tue) 22:00'. (Tuesday, May 28, 2024, 15:00 (CEST))

The information announced this time was not just the date on which the late-model 992 would be released, but also that "the first 911 equipped with hybrid drive is finally ready for sale."

Porsche has announced that it will be unveiling a new 911 equipped with a performance-oriented hybrid drive.

Of course, a gasoline engine vehicle may also be announced at the same time, but there is no information about that at the moment, and what we know now is that the 911 hybrid vehicle will be announced on May 28, 2024.

The first hybrid 911 in Porsche's 61-year history

The hybrid 911 announced this time, like all previous models, has been tested all over the world in a variety of harsh conditions, from extreme cold to scorching heat.

The total test driving distance is said to be more than 5 million kilometers, and the car has successfully cleared all challenges in any environment (including urban areas).

Porsche is confident that they will release the first perfect 911 Hybrid. I can't contain my excitement.

There are probably a lot of different opinions out there, like, "What's it like to have a 911 become a hybrid?" When I first heard about it, I thought, "Eh?"

But now, the hybridization of the 911 is something to look forward to, and I think it's also exciting to be alive in an age where we can encounter such a 911.

911 Hybrid beats predecessor's time at Nürburgring by 8.7 seconds

The hybrid 911 (992.2), which will be unveiled on May 28th, has already undergone a time attack at the Nürburgring, recording a time of 7:16.934 in the performance test, 8.7 seconds faster than the previous model.

The first late 992 Porsche 911 to have a world premiere is the Carrera S

Now, here's a big hint.

This is about 8.7 seconds faster than the previous model, which means that the previous model's time was about 7:25.When I looked into itThe model that achieved a time of 7:25 on the Nurburgring in 992.1 was the Carrera S.

This means that the vehicle tested this time, and the hybrid version to be announced on May 28th, will likely be at least a Carrera S model.

During this test, the car was fitted with a fixed rear wing, which was available as an option on the 992.1.

I guess the first announcement will be about the Carrera S.

If that's the case, it's almost certain that the Carrera S will have a hybrid, but will the Carrera S also have a gasoline car, and what will the base model be? I'm looking forward to the announcement of various things.

Afterwards, Porsche confirmed that it was the GTS that was driving at that time (wait, in that case, the Carrera S, which the reference article said previously ran the same speed as the GTS, isn't that amazing in a way (lol)??). So, I think the first model to be released this time will be the GTS, not the S!

For now, the Carrera S seems to have horizontal lines further forward on the vertical louvers on the front, so this might be a nice change.

I look forward to May 28, 2024.
