Dive deep into the facts about the new 911 Turbo S, whose innovative twin-turbo powertrain with T-Hybrid technology helps make it the most powerful production version of the Porsche 911 ever
The 911 Turbo S has always been a sports car that signals its presence well before it arrives in view. But what also has set it apart is its unique design presence when it roars past you. It means that the announcement of a new 911 Turbo S model is always met with anticipation and huge enthusiasm.Prepare yourself to find out all the facts, figures and thoughts that matter about the type 992.2 version of the sports car that’s the fastest production 911 yet.With its 711 PS (701 hp), 3.6-litre boxer engine with twin e-Turbo motors, the new 911 Turbo S coupé can accelerate from 0-100 km/h (0-62mph) in just 2.5 seconds. That makes it the fastest production 911 yet Photo: PorscheWhat is the 911 Turbo S?The essence of the 911 Turbo S is its aim to be the benchmark for sports cars – a goal it has pursued ever since it first powered onto the scene in 1993 with the launch of the 911 Turbo S (type 993). For each new generation of 911 Turbo S since then, the task of Porsche designers and engineers has been to ensure that this tradition is upheld.Watch the new 911 Turbo S lap the Nürburgring

Headlines may initially be grabbed by the introduction of a twin-turbo engine with T-hybrid technology into the 911 Turbo S – an innovation first unveiled in the current 911 GTS (type 992.2) – but it’s also a sports car known for matching its extraordinary performance with long-distance comfort. The desire to raise the bar further means there’s plenty more highlights to dig your teeth into, as you would expect from the 911 Turbo S. Powerful design, intelligent aerodynamics, an optimised chassis and plenty of exclusive equipment means that this challenge wasn’t just met but Porsche has taken it even further.What’s the engine in the new 911 Turbo S (type 992.2)?It’ll come as no surprise to learn that in order to be the most powerful production 911 built to date, the 911 Turbo S is blessed with incredible power. But in this new version of the legendary model, its power that greatly benefits from an example of the latest Porsche engine technology in what is a first for a 911 Turbo S.The 911 Turbo S is available at launch in coupé or, as seen here, cabriolet form Photo: PorscheIts 3.6-litre boxer engine has plentiful power in its own right, but in the 911 Turbo S its augmented by lightweight T-Hybrid technology. It becomes the second 911 to adopt this Porsche innovation following the launch in 2024 of the 911 GTS – in conjunction with the engine, this 400V system helps increase power by a significant 61 PS (60 hp). It does this by introducing two electric exhaust gas turbochargers (the 911 GTS used a single turbocharger), known as eTurbos.The T-Hybrid powertrain in the 911 Turbo S features a compact lightweight high-voltage battery with a capacity of 1.9 kWh, as in the 911 Carrera, and is paired with an eight-speed PDK with an integrated electric motor that transmits power to the Porsche Traction Management (PTM) all-wheel drive system. It all adds up to not just a substantial increase in power but heightened responsiveness for drivers too.It may be eye-wateringly powerful, but the 911 Turbo S is an accomplished daily driver, helped by an interior that promotes comfort for long-distance driving and exclusivity Photo: PorscheHow fast is the new 911 Turbo S?The new 911 Turbo S is the fastest production 911 that Porsche has ever produced (as of September 2025). The T-Hybrid powertrain can deliver its power to a maximum of 711 PS (701 hp), while maximum torque of 800 Nm can be maintained over an extremely wide range of 2,300 to 6,000 rpm.It results in a 0-100 km/h (0-62mph) time for the Turbo S Coupé of just 2.5 seconds – that’s 0.2 seconds quicker than its predecessor, the 911 Turbo S (type 992). When you have the opportunity to push onto 200 km/h (124 mph) in appropriate conditions, it can do so in just 8.4 seconds. That’s an improvement of 0.5 seconds on the previous 911 Turbo S model. Top speed for the new 911 Turbo S checks in at 322 km/h (200 mph).“The 911 Turbo S is the most complete and versatile form of driving a Porsche 911, whether in daily use, on long autobahn journeys or on the racetrack,” says Frank Moser, Vice President of the 911 and 718 model line Photo: PorscheWhat do we know about the aerodynamics and chassis in the new 911 Turbo S?With a car that carries awesome power like the new 911 Turbo S does, you require the optimal aerodynamic set-up in order to maximise the cooling and efficiency of its mighty powertrain. It’s a holistic set-up that consists of active, vertically arranged cooling air flaps at the front of the 911 Turbo S along with an active front diffuser. In addition, it retains the adjustable front spoiler lip and extendable and tilting rear wing from the previous 911 Turbo S. The result is a system that optimises the car’s powerful engine with maximum efficiency. And when all these aerodynamic elements are in their most efficient position it leads to a drag coefficient that’s reduced by 10 per cent compared to the previous 911 Turbo S.As for the chassis, the T-Hybrid powertrain allowed Porsche engineers to fit the 911 Turbo S with electro-hydraulically controlled Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (ehPDCC) as standard. This helps reduce the tendency to roll when changing direction and increases agility when entering and exiting corners.Along with other chassis innovations, it maximises predictability for drivers, making it easier to drive while also offering outstanding comfort, despite the power available underneath your right foot. In addition, ehPDCC comes with an optional lift system for the front axle, which benefits from its integration with the 400V system so it acts faster than its predecessor. And braking in the wet is further improved by closing the active elements to shield the braking system from water in wet conditions.Cutaway image of the 3.6-litre boxer engine that’s at the heart of the powertrain of the 911 Turbo S Photo: PorscheWhat are some of the design highlights of the new 911 Turbo S?The new 911 Turbo S welcomes the integration of the exclusive Turbo design strategy already available on several Porsche models. It features contrasting elements in the colour Turbonite developed for Turbo cars across the model range. On the exterior, its striking presence is keenly visible in the Porsche crest on the bonnet and Turbo S lettering on the rear section. And there are Turbo S-specific inserts in the rear wing slats and side window strips that help the range-topping 911 stand out from its siblings. The Turbo S wheel range also feature new Turbonite centre-lock designs.And, of course, the new 911 Turbo S maintains its trademark presence on the road. It has a visibly wider track than the 911 Carrera models, with openings in the rear side section. The width is further emphasised by ventilation openings on the rear fascia. The new standout titanium exhaust system for the 911 Turbo S is another differentiating factor (oval titanium exhaust pipe trims are available as an option) as well as the pearl structure about the rear lights strip.The new sports exhaust system of the 911 Turbo S features a titanium rear section to create a distinctive, thrilling note when you hit the throttle Photo: PorscheWatch a walk-through of the new 911 Turbo S What are the customisation options for the new 911 Turbo S?As you’d expect, there are plentiful customisation options available for the 911 Turbo S from the Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur range, including a lightweight roof in visible carbon, Exclusive Design rear lights and carbon air intakes in the rear side section and Turbo Exclusive Design wheels with carbon blades painted in Neodyme. And, for the first time, lightweight wiper arms made of carbon – which are 50 per cent lighter than the standard component – are a further option. What’s more, with the Paint to Sample programme you have the choice of more than 100 exterior colours. The 911 Turbo S is a standout car on the road by design, but you have the power to customise it even further to your own tastes.
