Porsche 911 Turbo S Debuts With T‑Hybrid Power, 701 HP and 7:03 Nürburgring Time

Twin e‑turbo hybrid assistance lifts performance enough to cut 14 seconds at the Nürburgring.

Overview

  • The 992.2-range flagship pairs a 3.6‑liter flat‑six with two electric exhaust turbos, a 1.9 kWh high‑voltage battery and an integrated motor in the eight‑speed PDK for 701 hp (711 PS) and 800 Nm.
  • Official figures include 0–100 km/h in 2.5 seconds (0–60 mph in 2.4) and a 322 km/h top speed, with both coupe and cabriolet body styles and all‑wheel drive.
  • Chassis and aero upgrades add electro‑hydraulic PDCC as standard, the largest PCCB setup on a two‑door Porsche (420 mm front, 410 mm rear), wider 325‑section rear tires and active aero that can cut drag by up to 10% and aid wet braking.
  • Porsche quotes a 7:03.92 Nürburgring Nordschleife lap, about 14 seconds quicker than the previous Turbo S, and says the wider power band improves response across the rev range.
  • Pricing starts at $272,650 for the coupe and $286,650 for the cabriolet in the U.S. (about £199,100/£209,100 in the U.K.), with orders open and deliveries slated for late 2025 in Europe and spring 2026 in many markets; early reports differ on whether hybrid hardware changes curb weight by roughly +85 kg or −85 kg.
