Porsche's CEO, Michael Leiters, announced that the company will not produce an electric version of its iconic 911 sports car, according to a report by Reuters. The announcement was made during an event hosted by the German magazine Auto, Motor und Sport. Leiters stated that Porsche is not currently investing in an all-electric 911, but it's unclear if this means the company will never produce an electric 911.
The entire Volkswagen Group, Porsche's parent company, is in the midst of a significant evolution, working to cut costs and adapt to a changing market. Porsche is on its own performance journey, with the company previously considering canceling the all-electric Porsche 718 Boxster and Cayman line due to budget constraints and pressure to raise profits.
View Price on AmazonPorsche currently sells hybrid variants of multiple 911 models, including the 911 Turbo S Hybrid, which produces 701 horsepower. The company also has experience with electric performance, as seen in the Taycan, Macan Electric, and Cayenne Electric. However, like many automakers, Porsche executives have admitted that the company overestimated demand for electric vehicles (EVs).
The Macan, for example, was initially shifted to an all-electric future, but Porsche has since reverted to an internal combustion version of the compact SUV, which will return by 2028. SUV sales make up the majority of Porsche's North American market share, with the Cayenne and Macan lineup accounting for over 47,000 unit sales in 2025. The 911 lineup remains an essential part of Porsche's bottom line in North America, with over 13,000 models sold in the region last year, representing 17% of Porsche's 2025 sales.
