Porsche has officially revealed the new 911 Turbo S Hybrid, the most powerful production 911 ever built. Combining a twin-turbocharged flat-six engine with electrified turbo assistance, the latest Turbo S pushes performance benchmarks further while retaining everyday usability.
Pricing and availability
Porsche has positioned the 911 Turbo S Hybrid at the very top of the 911 range, reflecting its status as the most powerful and technologically advanced model to date. Customers will be able to choose between coupé and cabriolet body styles.
- Coupé: $272,650 (approx.)
- Cabriolet: $286,650 (approx.)
Global deliveries are scheduled to begin in spring 2026, with Australia and other key markets expected to follow shortly after. Pricing may vary slightly depending on market-specific equipment and local taxes.
Performance highlights
The 911 Turbo S Hybrid delivers an impressive 523 kW and 590 lb-ft of torque, enabling it to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds and 0 to 200 km/h in 8.4 seconds. On the Nürburgring, the new model clocked a lap time of 7:03.92, making it nearly 14 seconds faster than its predecessor.

Hybrid powertrain with twin electric turbochargers
The new 3.6L flat-six engine is paired with two electric turbochargers, replacing the single eTurbo used in the 911 GTS. This system enables quicker throttle response and a broader torque curve. The result is a seamless power delivery that enhances both track performance and daily driving.
Despite an added 85 kg from hybrid components, the car’s handling has improved, with Porsche engineers confirming greater agility, grip, and responsiveness.
Engineering and technology enhancements
To complement its hybrid powertrain, Porsche has equipped the 911 Turbo S Hybrid with a suite of engineering upgrades designed to maximise performance, stability, and efficiency. These include refinements to the braking system, aerodynamics, and chassis technology:
Tires and brakes
The 911 Turbo S Hybrid benefits from a wider footprint, with 325/30 ZR 21 rear tires paired with 255/35 ZR 20 fronts, ensuring greater stability and grip under acceleration and cornering. Braking performance has also been enhanced with a revised Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) system, now featuring the largest discs ever fitted to a two-door Porsche—420 mm at the front and 410 mm at the rear.
Active aerodynamics
Porsche has refined the Turbo S Hybrid’s aerodynamics with a series of active components. These include vertical cooling air flaps, a retractable front diffuser, an adjustable spoiler lip, and a tilting rear wing. Together, these features reduce drag by 10% while optimising downforce, balancing efficiency with high-speed stability.
Chassis technology
The model also debuts an updated Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (ehPDCC) system. Using electro-hydraulic active anti-roll technology, the system minimises body movement in corners, improves steering precision, and enhances overall agility—ensuring the Turbo S Hybrid feels composed on both road and track.
Design and interior
The 911 Turbo S Hybrid retains its iconic profile but introduces subtle refinements, including “Turbonite” styling accents. Customers can choose between coupé (2-seater or 2+2 layout) and cabriolet (standard 2+2) configurations. Inside, the blend of performance-oriented design and luxury materials ensures the model remains both a sports car and a comfortable GT.
Blending hybrid innovation with 911 heritage
The Porsche 911 Turbo S Hybrid marks a significant step in the brand’s electrification strategy. By combining hybrid innovation with classic 911 engineering, Porsche has created a model that not only sets performance records but also strengthens the heritage appeal of the Turbo S badge.
