Porsche planning electric hypercar

Porsche is getting ready to embrace an electric future — including a flagship hypercar successor to the 918 Spyder (pictured here) — but insists it will continue to build petrol-powered two-door sports-cars for as long as regulations allow. The German sports-car maker says the 911 hybrid due in the next few years has the technical ability to become the new flagship of the range — eclipsing the performance of the upcoming 911 Turbo S — but is yet to decide how much electric power to unleash.
