Drivers can also expect a hybrid version of the Porsche 911, Oliver Blume, Porsche AG’s chief executive officer, said Thursday. But he did not specify when production—which would use on-board rather than plug-in hybrid technology—would begin. The question of how many variants of the 911 might get the hybrid treatment was also not answered.
