The Introduction of a Hybrid drivetrain
On the surface, there isn’t much to be surprised about regarding the recent announcement of the upcoming Porsche 911 GT2 RS. We all anticipated its inevitable arrival for the current 992-generation. What is likely to have raised some eyebrows are the rumors swirling around which point to the new GT2 RS coming equipped with a mild hybrid drivetrain. Truly, a bold transformation for the company’s flagship 911 performance model. The timing of this news is no coincidence with respect to all the other future-proofing operations that Porsche has been heavily engaged in over the past decade.
I’ve been closely following Porsche’s eFuels project, and it looks as though the roll-out of the 992 GT2 RS—slated to be sometime in 2026—would perfectly complement Porsche’s clean energy initiative and serve as an incredibly effective moving billboard for the automaker’s image going forward.
