Good one!

And you forgot to say that new car would NOT be sold through Porsche dealerships.

Hybrid version of the Panamera and the 911 racing car to debut in Paris

Paris/Stuttgart. Two worlds, two global debuts: At the Paris Motor Show, Porsche is celebrating the debut of two sports cars with completely different characters – the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid and a 911 racing car. The new Gran Turismo combines a performance-oriented hybrid drive and sustainable e-mobility with dynamic sportiness and luxurious driving comfort. By contrast, the new edition of the world’s best-selling racing car, the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup, is reserved exclusively for the race track. The new Panamera range as a whole and the Macan Turbo equipped with performance package will also be unveiled to the public in Paris for the first time at the Paris Motor Show.

The Panamera 4 E-Hybrid delivers a system power of 340 kW (462 hp) thanks to the combination of a 2.9-litre V6 petrol engine with an output of 243 kW (330 hp) and a 100-kW electric motor. The maximum torque of the vehicle is 700 Nm with an electric range of 50 kilometres.

Both global debuts will be presented at the Porsche stand in hall 4, stand 212, at the Paris Expo, Porte de Versailles.

and that there would only be 997 of them made worldwide - all of which had already been sold to the 918 community anyway ...

Porsche would not go back to a Mezger in their consumer cars, and I would prefer that. I am not a VIP and I am sure if that happens, this would all go to the VIPs.

And now, I have 2 cars that is part of porsche history. A car that has some Mezger footprint.

The engine that propelled their race cars to history as one of the most winningest engines ever built.

So, as a commoner, lets leave the Mezger to the past so that I can have my own special porsches.
