Porsche’s latest 911 Turbo S raises the benchmark for all-weather speed and everyday usability with a new T-Hybrid system rated at 701 hp and 590 lb-ft. The setup pairs a compact 1.9-kWh high-voltage battery and an electric motor integrated into the eight-speed PDK with two electrically assisted turbochargers, improving response and peak output. Porsche quotes 0–60 mph in 2.4 seconds, 0–124 mph in 8.4 seconds, and a 200-mph top track speed.
Despite a curb weight of 3,829 pounds, development laps showed a major performance gain: a lightly camouflaged car recorded 7:03.92 at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, roughly fourteen seconds quicker than its predecessor. Chassis hardware plays a role. The new electro-hydraulic PDCC uses the 400-volt system for faster roll control, while standard PASM tuning targets both agility and comfort. An optional front-axle lift also taps the high-voltage system for quicker operation.

The braking system is the largest PCCB ever fitted to a Porsche two-door, with 420-mm front rotors and enlarged 410-mm rears, plus new motorsport-inspired pads for bite and pedal feel. Tire specs rise to 325/30 ZR 21 at the rear, with 255/35 ZR 20 in front, aiming for better dry grip without sacrificing wet behavior.
Active aerodynamics expand capability and efficiency. Vertically arranged front cooling flaps, an active front diffuser, a deployable front spoiler, and an extendable, tilting rear wing can shift between reduced drag and high downforce. In Wet mode, closed flaps help shield the front brakes from spray to improve wet stopping.

Design and cabin details underscore its flagship status. Wider bodywork, engine-side intakes, and available titanium oval exhaust outlets frame a cleaner rear fascia. Inside, Turbonite accents span the wheel, dash, and switchgear, with adaptive 18-way Sport Seats Plus and HD Matrix Design LED headlights standard. A titanium sport exhaust reduces weight and sharpens tone from the 3.6-liter boxer, which uses asymmetrical timing.
Personalization runs deep through Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur, from carbon roof panels and carbon rear lights to Turbonite center-lock wheels and even carbon windshield wiper arms. A matching Porsche Design chronograph can be configured with Turbonite dial elements and a wheel-style rotor.
U.S. pricing is listed at $270,300 for the coupe and $284,300 for the Cabriolet, excluding $2,350 for delivery, processing, and handling. First arrivals are expected in spring 2026.
