After riding in the new Porsche 911 came the school day. And buried in many PowerPoint slide of graphs, tables and charts showing how the new Porsche 992 is better than the old Porsche 991, there was a clue to the 911"s hybrid future. It"s in the gearbox. See, the new 911 ditches a seven-speed dual-clutch PDK for an eight-speeder. It"s related to the one in the Panamera. And as you probably know, there are two flavours of leccy Panamera. The 456bhp Panamera V6 e-Hybrid, and the nutty 671bhp V8 Panamera Turbo S e-hybrid. The 911"s gearbox is rated for up to 800Nm", says Porsche. In old money, that"s 590lb ft of torque. For comparison, the outgoing Porsche 911 Turbo S develops 553lb ft. A McLaren Senna is good for 590lb ft of twist.
