Porsche research and development chief Michael Steiner says that the automaker is shifting resources towards the development of the long-range electric Mission E as its now a "top priority" item for Porsche.

Steiner noted that this means any plans for a plug-in hybrid Porsche 911 will have to be delayed for now as Mission E is the focus.

Quoting Steiner:

"We decided we would do the Mission E as our priority one. It's in serial development."

"The conceptual design of the Mission E once again gives us technically the potential to do more with this platform, and also we think about if the battery electric business will be fast growing and we think that the whole business will change, most probably pretty fast at some trigger point. That should be not the only battery electric car."
