Porsche’s No.2 919 Hybrid machine will be getting a front row’s view at turn one of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, courtesy of last year’s previous pole-sitter, Neel Jani.

The demands of being a race car driver are completely different than in decades past, and the complexity of this Porsche 919 Hybrid steering wheel will show you why.

With the Mission E coming, and an electric 911 most likely on its way, Porsche wants to make sure you’re feeling the electricity in the air.

The photovoltaic pylon is built with 7,776 solar cells, weighs 37 tonnes, sports 270 square meters of surface area, and can generate up to 30,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year.

Porsche has at least considered building a two-door all-electric sportscar, kind of like the four-door Mission E, and kind of like a 911.

Could we be looking at a number of signs which all add up to a not-far-off future where an electrified 911 sits prominently in the model range?

Juan Pablo Montoya took a turn in the LMP1 at the Bahrain International Circuit, and he was shocked at how good the 919 Hybrid truly is.
