Porsche 911 Turbo S Facelift Gains 711 PS From T‑Hybrid System

Early tests confirm major pace gains from a performance‑only hybrid setup.

Overview

  • Porsche rates the updated Turbo S at 523 kW/711 PS with 0–100 km/h in 2.5 seconds and a 322 km/h top speed, up 61 PS on its predecessor.
  • The T‑Hybrid package combines two electrically driven exhaust turbochargers, a 60 kW gearbox‑integrated e‑machine and a 1.9 kWh buffer battery.
  • The battery cannot be plugged in and the 911 does not drive purely on electric power, with electrification used to boost response and eliminate turbo lag.
  • A new 400‑volt electrical system enables electro‑hydraulic PDCC, active aerodynamics, improved cooling and a quick front‑axle lift function.
  • Hybrid hardware adds roughly 85–100 kg, yet Porsche reports about a 14‑second Nordschleife improvement; the coupe starts from €271,000 with market launch in 2025.
