2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S Gains T-hybrid System For 701 Hp And A 14-second-quicker Nürburgring Time

Porsche

About a twelvemonth and a half aft the 992.2 facelift for nan Porsche 911 was first unveiled, nan covers person been taken disconnected nan updated 2026 911 Turbo S astatine the Munich car show, and arsenic we expected it gets an moreover much potent type of Porsche's caller T-Hybrid system that makes it nan astir powerful accumulation 911 ever pinch a full of 701 horsepower. Despite nan summation of nan hybrid components it's not overmuch heavier than the outgoing Turbo S, and acknowledgment to nan powertrain and different capacity enhancements, Porsche says nan caller exemplary is 14 seconds quicker astir nan Nürburgring than its predecessor.

For now Porsche is only showing disconnected nan Turbo S type of nan 992.2, which lends credence to rumors that nan "basic" Turbo type won't person nan hybrid strategy — why uncover some astatine once, erstwhile you tin hold a spot to debut nan little absorbing of nan 2 and fto nan fancy hybrid get each nan attention. The 2026 911 Turbo S will get astatine dealerships successful nan U.S. adjacent spring, pinch a starting value higher than that of immoderate different 992. But I'll prevention that nosy spot of info for last.

Standard 992 Carreras usage a twin-turbo 3.0-liter flat-6 engine, but Porsche developed a caller single-turbo 3.6-liter motor for the Carrera GTS T-Hybrid, which besides forms nan ground for nan caller Turbo S. But alternatively of conscionable 1 electrical exhaust state turbocharger, nan Turbo S of people has 2 of them attached to nan caller engine, pinch compressors and turbines designed specifically for this exemplary and amended responsiveness than accepted turbos. Its maximum of 701 horsepower is 61 hp greater than what nan nonhybrid Turbo S' twin-turbo 3.8-liter boxer motor puts out, and while torque is nan aforesaid astatine 590 pound-feet, nan caller T-Hybrid makes highest torque earlier and crossed a wider rev scope of 2,300 to 6,000 rpm. Peak horsepower comes connected astatine 6,500 to 7,000 rpm.

The 1.9-kWh 400-volt artillery battalion is nan aforesaid arsenic successful nan GTS, mounted nether nan hood wherever nan normal 911's 12-volt artillery lies. The 8-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic transmission has an electrical centrifugal integrated into nan lodging for illustration connected nan GTS (specs for nan centrifugal hasn't been mentioned, but successful nan GTS it has 54 hp and 110 lb-ft), and arsenic successful that exemplary it should beryllium capable to recuperate power nether braking aliases erstwhile coasting. A athletics exhaust strategy pinch a titanium muffler and tips is standard, and Porsche says nan engine's asymmetrical timing gives nan Turbo S "a sharp, throaty sound." The GTS already sounds amazing, truthful I tin only imagine.

Porsche says nan caller 911 Turbo S will dash from 0 to 60 mph successful 2.4 seconds, two-tenths quicker than nan aged Turbo S. Given really fundamentally each 911 outperforms Porsche's estimates successful nan existent world — Car and Driver sewage a 2021 Turbo S to 60 mph successful conscionable 2.1 seconds — this could beryllium nan first accumulation 911 that achieves sub-2-second acceleration times. It besides needs conscionable 8.4 seconds to deed 124 mph, an betterment of half a second, but apical velocity is 5 mph little astatine a information 200 mph.

Porsche quotes a curb weight of 3,829 pounds, which is 180 pounds much than nan nonhybrid Turbo S, but nan institution says that weight summation has been "more than compensated for successful each areas applicable to driving dynamics." The rear tires are 10 mm wider, now sized 325/30ZR21, while nan fronts stay 255/35ZR20. There are caller aerodynamically optimized instrumentality designs specified arsenic nan ones connected nan cabriolet successful these photos that person carbon-fiber outer rings, and caller progressive aerial flaps successful nan beforehand bumper, an extendable beforehand spoiler and redesigned progressive rear helping little than Turbo S' resistance coefficient by up to 10%. Those intake flaps also improving its braking capacity successful nan bedewed by closing to protect nan rotors from spray. 

The 400-volt hybrid strategy allows for a caller electro-hydraulically controlled Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (ehPDCC) system, which comes modular connected nan Turbo S. Using cross-connected progressive coupling rods that build up unit utilizing lipid measurement flow, nan strategy actuates much quickly than nan strictly hydraulic setup successful nan 992.1, reducing assemblage rotation and expanding some comfortableness and agility. It besides intends nan optional front-axle assistance tin beryllium activated overmuch quicker. The modular carbon-ceramic brakes person caller pads pinch a motorsport-derived worldly mixture, and nan rear rotors are astir an inch larger than before.

In conducting last improvement drives of nan 992.2 Turbo S, retired title car driver and Porsche marque ambassador Jörg Bergmeister group a thigh clip of 7:03.92 astatine nan Nürburgring Nordschleife successful a lightly camouflaged prototype. That's astir 14 seconds quicker than nan outgoing Turbo S, which astatine nan 'Ring is rather nan feat. Regarding his thigh and really nan caller Turbo S, Bergmeister said, "You don't consciousness nan weight gain. On nan contrary – nan car is overmuch much agile, has much grip and is importantly faster than its predecessor successful each applicable sections of nan track."

Those progressive aerial flaps are placed successful a redesigned beforehand bumper that has an moreover much angular look and larger openings, pinch nary much LED moving lights successful nan grilles. Instead nan redesigned headlights execute each guardant lighting tasks. The chunkier and much analyzable rear bumper makes nan car look moreover wider, and I emotion nan caller rectangular exhaust tips that switch nan aged quad extremity setup. (You tin get still get oval-shaped tips arsenic an option.) As pinch Porsche's different caller Turbo models, exterior accents for illustration nan badges, motor screen slats and model trim person a lukewarm bronze-like Turbonite finish; immoderate of nan instrumentality designs besides travel in Turbonite.

The Turbo S cabriolet successful these photos has nan optional Aerokit, which adds a much fierce beforehand splitter, little broadside skirts and a somewhat tweaked diffuser design, arsenic good arsenic a different rear wing. Lots of carbon-fiber exterior trim will beryllium optional, including caller items for illustration c windshield wiper arms and broadside intake surrounds, and of people nan Turbo S will beryllium disposable successful a wide scope of colors and different customization options done Porsche's Exclusive Manufaktur division.

Inside you get nan aforesaid afloat integer curved gauge cluster and left-mounted commencement fastener arsenic different 992.2s, but that's astir nan grade of nan creation changes. Turbonite accents are standard, pinch nan contrasting stitching and seatbelts being vanished successful nan color, but each sorts of different colour schemes are available. The Turbo S coupe comes pinch nary backmost seat, but nan rear seats are a no-cost action and are modular connected nan cabriolet. Every Turbo S has adaptive 18-way Sport Seats Plus, but there's nary connection connected if nan GT3's caller foldable buckets will beryllium connected nan menu.

When nan 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S lands astatine dealers adjacent spring, nan coupe will commencement astatine $272,650 while nan cabriolet will costs $281,950, some including $2,350 destination. That's $30,955 and $26,655 than nan coupe and cabrio versions of nan outgoing nonhybrid 992.1 Turbo S, respectively. Porsche's property merchandise says nan MSRP excludes "any imaginable tariffs," truthful depending connected really things spell complete nan adjacent fewer months they could change. Will that value summation really matter to 911 Turbo buyers? Probably not.
