Autocar article by Andrew Frankel:
- 911 last Porsche to become electric, "hopefully after my retirement"
- "it would be easier to make a completely new car" regarding hybridisation of the current 911
- "We are aware of the feedback and have taken steps to address it" in response to 911 Turbo S reputation of not being the most enjoyable or engaging car
- New "lightweight version" of Turbo and Carrera models planned, no confirmation for Carrera T
- GT3 continues with the existing engine architecture, not the 4.0 of the 718
- Doesn't see a business case for that engine in any 911 at present

Just make a Taycan coupe and call it a day. I actually think the Taycan looks fantastic. I just have no interest whatsoever in driving an electric car. I got a ride in an all-electric Audi e-tron SUV the other day and there's something about the way an electric car rides that reminds me of both Europe and mass transit. Like riding in a shuttle that takes you between terminals at a Eurpoean airport.
