2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S blasts back as a 711hp hybrid

With a pair of electric turbochargers, the new Turbo S becomes the most powerful production Porsche 911 to date

Porsche has revealed its most powerful production 911 to date, ahead of the car’s debut at the 2025 Munich Motor Show.

The new Porsche 911 Turbo S combines two electrically assisted turbochargers (eTurbos) with a water-cooled 3.6-litre flat-six engine. The mid-range 911 GTS T-Hybrid uses the same engine with a single turbo.  

With a grand total of 711hp, combined with 590lb ft of torque from just 2,000rpm, the latest 911 Turbo S has gained 61hp over its predecessor. 

Despite an extra 85kg in weight, the jump in power and instant response of the eTurbos mean this 992.2-generation of Turbo S is 14 seconds quicker around the Nürburgring circuit than the outgoing model.

A true bahnstormer

In terms of raw performance, the 911 Turbo S Coupe now accelerates from 0-62mph in 2.5 seconds – and requires only 8.4 seconds to hit 124mph. Find a quiet autobahn and a top speed of 200mph is possible. 

Aiding performance is an eight-speed PDK dual-clutch auto transmission, including an extra electric motor, which is mated to Porsche’s all-wheel-drive system. 

Active aerodynamics direct cooling air to the components that need it the most. The front diffuser flaps also close in wet weather to keep the huge carbon-ceramic brake discs dry.

Porsche has added a new titanium sports exhaust and – for a not-inconsiderable £1,078 – can even fit windscreen wipers with arms made from weight-saving carbon fibre.

The everyday supercar

Various exterior elements are finished in Porsche’s exclusive Turbonite colour, including the Stuttgart crest on the bonnet and Turbo S-specific inserts in the rear spoiler. Alloy wheel choices include centre-lock rims with a Turbonite finish. 

More Turbonite trim can be found throughout the interior, including on the steering wheel, dashboard and centre console. 

“The 911 Turbo S is the most complete and versatile way to drive a Porsche 911,” said Frank Moser, vice president of the 911 and 718 model lines. “Whether in daily use, on long motorway drives or on the racetrack – we have been able to make the new 911 Turbo S even more comfortable, more individual and significantly faster than its predecessor.”

Available to configure now on the Porsche website, UK prices for Porsche’s everyday supercar start at £199,100 for the 911 Turbo S coupe. The Turbo S Cabriolet costs from £209,100.
