Performance figures for the hybrid Porsche 911: 541 cv, 3.1s and 312 km/h

With a combined maximum output of 541 cv from the hybrid system, Porsche quotes 0 to 100 km/h in 3.1s and a top speed of 312 km/h for the 911 GTS Cabriolet featured in the video.

In the footage, the speedometer climbs to 320 km/h, tearing through Autobahn kilometres with the sun straight ahead in an almost picture-perfect scene. Time to watch it one more time…
