Our spy photographer just sent us these shots of a Porsche 911 with a mysterious bulge on the hood. It was reportedly very quiet, possibly indicating that Porsche is testing hybrid technology in an effort to reduce emissions.

Also, peep the cool Batman sticker on the hood. We’d like to speculate a new Batmobile in the works, but that’d be pushing it.

The shooter’s comments follow.

Is Porsche going Hybrid on the next generation 911?

Well, it almost looks like that when we see these photos ofa current Porsche 911 Carrera convertible with a strange bulge on the front hood. And on top of it all, the bulge is even marked with a flash. And like on every other Porsche prototype, there are no Porsche stickers on the car. But the guys are still showing some humor with the Batman sticker on the hood.

The photographer reported that the car was very quiet when he first noticed the car coming out from a parking place and that was the thing that made him look again. Then he noticed the bulge and followed, the Porsche guys didn’t like that at all, and when they noticed his camera they took off at a pace he couldn’t follow.

With Hybrid versions of both the Cayenne and Panamera, it makes sense to transform the technology to the icon 911 Carrera as well, remember, there are limits of the CO2 regulations coming up that even Porsche has to try and reach.
