The T-Hybrid system, first debuting in the 911 Carrera GTS, has been significantly redeveloped for use in the new 911 Turbo S. From a single electric exhaust gas turbocharger (eTurbo) in the GTS, two eTurbos have been fitted into the 911 Turbo S. As a result, it makes 711 horsepower (+61 horsepower from before) and 800 Nm. Peak torque is available from a 2,300 to 6,000 rpm, while peak power comes between 6,500 to 7,000 rpm.

An 8-speed dual clutch PDK system with an integrated electric motor transmits power to all four wheels, giving it a 2.5-second 0 to 100 km/h time (0.2 seconds faster than before). 200 km/h takes just 8.4 seconds—a 0.5 second improvement. Top speed is 322 km/h.

The lightweight 400-volt T-Hybrid system and accompanying 1.9-kWh high-voltage battery also reduces its fuel consumption to around 9.6 km/L in a combined city/highway setting. 

Despite the added components of the hybrid system, the 911 Turbo S’s weight is up just 85 kilograms. This increase in weight has been properly compensated for. For example, there are wider rear tires with the 325/30R21s being 10 mm wider than before. Then, there are the standard ceramic brakes with larger rear brakes (410 mm from 390 mm).

Porsche has also fiddled with the aerodynamics. Active, vertically arranged cooling air flaps at the front of the vehicle and an active front diffuser, together with an adjustable front spoiler lip and the extendable and tilting rear wing from its predecessor don’t just optimally cool the radiator and brakes, but it can reduce lift or drag when necessary. Overall, the drag co-efficient is down 10 percent when at their most efficient position. In addition, the active aerodynamics improve the wet braking performance with the front diffusers closing to shield the front brake discs from excessive water spray.

The T-Hybrid system also allowed Porsche to fit electro-hydraulic active suspension (ehPDCC) which can reduce body roll when changing direction. The system works with cross-connected, active coupling rods, in which pressure is built up by oil volume flow depending on the driving situation. The stabilizers generate support forces and keep the vehicle in balance. This system also comes with an optional front lift system making the 911 Turbo S “sayad-proof” against humps and steep driveways.

Finally, a new titanium sports exhaust system reduces around 6.8 kilograms of weight, while also giving the 911 Turbo S an even more emotive sound. With the boxer engine’s asymmetrical timing, it creates a more throaty and distinctive sound, says the carmaker.

All these changes contributed to a 7:03.92-minute time on the Nürburgring Nordschleife—14 seconds faster than its predecessor.

Porsche is making the 911 Turbo S available in both coupe and cabriolet formats. As a coupe, a 2-seater configuration is standard (a 2+2 is available as a no cost option). As a cabriolet, it’s solely available with 2+2 seating.

Apart from the “Turbonite” detailing, the 911 Turbo S is further differentiated by its unique tailpipe design. HD Matrix LED headlights are standard as are adaptive 18-way sport seats. For those who want to customize their Turbo S further, options include Exclusive Design wheels and rear lights, a lightweight roof with visible carbon, air intakes also in carbon, and heck, even wiper blades made of the stuff are available.

Porsche Philippines has confirmed that they are now taking orders for the new 911 Turbo S with deliveries to commence in 2026.
