Unveiled at the 2012 Paris Motor Show, the German sports car startes as a clay model before Porsche built the actual model.

We talk about a plug-in hybrid powertrain known as e-hybrid, a system which includes both conventional and electric motors generating a total of 416 horsepower. With such resources, the 0-100 km/h sprint is possible in less than 6 seconds while a fully electric driving range of 18 miles is offered as well.

Even this is just a concept for now, Porsche says that the lithium-ion battery pack can be charged in only 2,5 hours, an impressive number cosidering the similar production models on the market.
