But this will not be possible before 2025. " When Porsche has the right battery, it will be time to launch a new hypercar. He echoes this view in the interview with Car, where he said that the battery is the " c ylinder" of the future and that Porsche has to invest and develop batteries with higher energy density and power. But that hasn't been decided yet."Īs he stated on several previous occasions, Blume believes that battery technology needs to evolve to meet the demands of a supersport car.
We will bring a new hypercar when it's time to bring it. Oliver Blume told the British outlet Car: " The hypercar is always a part of Porsche's strategy, and they will continue to play a role for Porsche in the future. However, it has yet to give up on the idea of a hypercar. Porsche also wants to launch the first fully electric sports model in 2025, the Porsche 718 Cayman. The latter is the first Porsche electric model based on the new PPE (Premium Platform Electric) architecture, specifically designed together with Audi. In 2024, Porsche will launch the first 911 Plug-In Hybrid and the Macan electric. It's been seven years since Porsche ceased production of the 918 Spyder, and the myth of a new Porsche hypercar is back in the game.īut Porsche has other priorities at the moment, focusing on the electrification of the lineup and the development of electric models. 918 units were produced until September 2015. Then the wait was shorter, only seven years, until the 918 was launched in September 2013. In 2004, the Carrera GT came out, of which 1,270 units were produced by 2006. Porsche produced 345 959s from 1986 to 1993, and then fans had to wait more than a decade for the Carrera GT.

By comparison, Ferrari has had five supercars since the F40 (1987), not counting the Icona series models. For a sports brand like Porsche, three supercars in 36 years are not that much. We don't even need all the fingers of one hand to count them: the 959 (1986), Carrera GT (2004), and 918 Spyder (2013). I love the variety of the Merit Partners offerings and look forward to working with them again as I grow my collection beyond the Porsche marque.Unlike Ferrari, Porsche hasn't had too many supercars. The professionalism of everyone at Merit Partners is a testimony to Jonathan’s and Burt’s leadership and the company culture they have fostered. They made me feel like part of the Merit Partners family, making sure I was informed and happy during the entire process.
Jonathan’s entire team was such a pleasure to work with and didn’t miss a beat. Its naturally-aspirated 4.6-liter V8 makes well over. The car is everything I hoped it would be and more. Porsches 918 Spyder is a plug-in hybrid hypercar that seamlessly bridges the gap between old and new. We agreed on the terms and before I knew it, a fantastic Touring had arrived at my doorstep. He connected me with Jonathan, and I told him of my interest in the Porsche.
I had a close friend that had purchased cars from Merit Partners in the past and really enjoyed working with them. Thanks to the amazing presentation, which included so many detailed pictures and such a detailed history of the car, I had all the information I needed to purchase the car without a personal inspection. I found a wonderfully spec’d 991 Touring on the Merit Partners website. Having owned many classic Porsches, I decided it was time for a modern example.
