led by a refreshed Ghibli sedan and a redesigned Levante SUV, which will share its underpinnings with a redesigned Quattroporte sedan. The GranTurismo Coupe and GranCabrio convertible will be replaced by coupe and convertible versions of Simple answer: Money. A report published last year by Goldman Sachs suggested the global ride-hailing market—taxis, Uber, Lyft, etc.—could be worth $285 billion by 2030. Removing the driver from the business model through autonomous driving technology would increase the potential profit pool from $65 billion to $220 billion, Goldman says. Bottom line: An automaker operating its own autonomous ride-hailing fleet could make $14,000 per car over three years, nine times the average profit it makes selling a single vehicle. The PHEV 911’s powertrain will include a 3.0-liter flat-six and a 134-hp electric motor, giving a total system output of about 485 horsepower. Sources in Weissach suggest a 0–60 time of about 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 197 mph. Although the hybrid 911 will reportedly travel up to 40 miles on electric power thanks to its 10.8-kW-hr battery, Porsche engineers are said to be tuning the powertrain software to allow the motor to enhance midrange response and improve handling via torque vectoring. The PHEV 911 is also said to feature on-demand all-wheel drive, a button-activated 20-second torque boost, and liftoff coasting in Eco mode.
