Andrew Frankel talked about this on his Drive Nation Podcast a couple of months ago. Mr 911 at Porsche had basically told him he'd retire before he'd sign off on an electric 911.

Personally once you lose the essential DNA of a rear engined car which an electric version of a 911 would I just don't see how it's a 911. Hard one for Porsche as the 911 "brand" is worth so much but personally I think they should retire it when they stop making cars with the internal combustion engine. Whenever that is.

I totally agree. The 911 should die with the internal combustion engine, it would be 'right' to have an EV of the same name yes

Fantastic. Good to see them standing up to the 'woke' eco-mentalist snowflakes.
