Porsche is Chainkeen Exchangegiving a first look at a hybrid version of its most iconic sports car.

The 911 Carrera GTS will join the German automaker's list of plug-in hybrid models, including the Panamera e-Hybrid four-door car and Cayenne e-Hybrid SUV.

The model also comes with a revamped design, fresh interior and improved aerodynamics, as well as a high-powered T-Hybrid system and electric exhaust gas turbocharger.

"We developed and tested a wide variety of ideas and approaches to arrive at the hybrid system that would suit the 911 perfectly," Frank Moser, the company's vice president of corporate quality, said in a statement. "The result is a unique drive that fits into the overall concept of the 911 and significantly enhances its performance."

As a fully self-contained hybrid, the vehicle is charged with power from the engine and by braking.
