Will Porsche make an electric 911?

Porsche says an electric 911 isn’t coming

Porsche’s CEO Michael Leiters said the brand has no intention of releasing a battery-powered version of the 911, according to the report.

The statement matters for buyers and investors because the 911 is Porsche’s most iconic nameplate and a key benchmark for how “electric performance” is approached in the sports-car market. A fully electric 911 would likely have reshaped Porsche’s product roadmap, manufacturing plans, and the expectations of customers who buy the 911 specifically for its traditional driving character.

It also matters for the industry’s broader transition to electrification. Porsche is clearly willing to build electric vehicles elsewhere, but it’s drawing a firm line around the 911 for now—signaling that, at least from management’s perspective, electrifying the 911 would conflict with what the company believes buyers most value.

If you’re shopping or planning around Porsche’s future, the practical takeaway is:

• The current 911 line won’t pivot to a purely electric architecture.
• Porsche may continue electrification through other models rather than a full electric 911.
• Short-to-medium term decisions for enthusiasts who want a classic 911 should not depend on an electric 911 release.

The report didn’t provide details on what Porsche’s alternative strategy could be, beyond the direct denial. Still, Porsche’s leadership messaging is unambiguous: a battery-electric 911 is not happening.
