In January, an article in Automobile reported that the electrically assisted 911 due around 2023 could produce around 485 horsepower and 561 pound-feet of torque. The 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS also borrows certain components from its big brother, the 911 GT2 RS, like the NACA ducts in the frunk lid which helps with brake cooling and a larger front spoiler which, along with the rear fixed wing and diffuser, helps in producing twice as much downforce as the regular 911 GT3 at 124 miles per hour.

"It will be the most powerful 911 we've ever had; 700 hp might be possible".

"Without qualifiers, we'd assume Blume's actually thinking of a number beyond 700 hp, because the 911 GT2 RS already makes seven centuries of ponies".

Recall that the model Porsche 911 Turbo S current generation internal combustion engine develops power 572. In turn, the hybrid coupe may debut in the next two years. That's just shy of the 911's proposed 700-hp figure. The timing was a tad off, the sentiment apparently spot on. Autocar speculates the powertrain will consist of an electric motor rated at over 136 horsepower and a turbocharged flat-six engine.

They judge a person and write vulgar comments on their social media posts just because of the way these celebrities are dressed. Talking about the trolls, Radhika Apte told in an interview, "I didn't even know I was being trolled till someone told me".

Blume added the plug-in 911 will offer "a special button for the electric punch", which suggests it will come with a race car-style push-to-pass feature.

The chassis of the 911 GT3 RS also receives upgrades like new helper springs on both axles, improved ball joints, and a further refined rear-wheel steering system.

During the conversation with journalists the official representative of the German brand noted that "the company could release the most powerful factory Porsche 911 in history, using hybrid technology".

Porsche will introduce the next-generation 911 before the end of the year.
