That sounds promising. But I don't see how they manage to keep 6-cylinder boxer motors, add electric power, and not add significantly more weight (motors, batteries, etc.).   Not sure NA Flat-4 with Electric power would be very satisfying...

Think that just removing the turbo would be about 100Kg savings which is what the 991.2 gained, and the NA engine could be simpler as RS991 pointed out and therefore lighter,  not necessarily less cylinders, not sure a Flat-4 + hybrid will be enough to reach the HP figures of the time (450-500HP in the carrera and above) , and would be easier with a flat-6, but true that reasonable weight is definitely a hurdle they need to solve before they can implement it
