Think of Porsches and you would be greeted by the silhouettes of those incredibly gorgeous cars with manual gearboxes, clutch pedals and classy tachometers. Thus it would be no strange thing if one wonders as to how the automaker is going to adapt to the “electric future,” which is ought to do away with all these traits of a classic Porsche. Well, we have just received a vague picture of things, with the manufacturer announcing its strategy for the future, that is undoubtedly electric.

The official word-casting on the brand’s future, took place recently at the Porsche museum in Stuttgart, amidst the gay 70th anniversary celebrations of the 356.

Bloomberg reports Porsche CEO Oliver Blume  to have made the following remarks:

"“There will be a triad: plug-in hybrids, emotional sports cars with combustion engines, and sporty electric vehicles. There will always be demand for intelligent sporty mobility. At Porsche, the driving experience will always be at the forefront, but in a traffic jam or when you park a car, the driver might want to hand over control of the vehicle.”"

On the all-electric front, Porsche will have the pure-electric Mission E to boast of, scheduled to officially join the herd in 2019. The next-generation 911 is also rumored to have an electrified powertrain. As for the hybrids, well, you have quite a number of them, like  the E-Hybrid versions of the Cayenne and the Panamera.

Talking about volumes, Porsche is rapidly evolving into a larger automaker than it has ever been till this day.

This is a fact that is well substantiated by the collosal sales figures of the Macan, that amounts to as huge as 246,000 units in 2017. This definitely is a drastic leap ahead for the automaker, from the time when its lineup used to be composed of just coupes and cabriolets.

However Bloomberg reports that Porsche is more keen on stabilizing deliveries than going after further hikes in production volumes. Anyways, Porsche seems to be a master of the game, with lucid ideas as to which models are to be aimed at volume and which at the core of enthusiasts.

Bloomberg adds:

"“Tradition is a commitment. Without our tradition and without our core values, we would not be where we are today. We plan to uphold the standard of technical excellence set by Ferry Porsche well into the future. Intelligent dynamic mobility has a great future ahead of it. And we have the solid technological expertise, creative employees and unique team spirit to be involved. We have what it takes to ensure that the Porsche brand continues to fascinate -– even in another 70 years.”"
