The T-Hybrid technology has since been significantly further developed for use in the new 2026 911 Turbo S. While a single electric exhaust gas turbocharger (eTurbo) is integrated into the T-Hybrid system in the GTS, two eTurbos are used in the new 911 Turbo S. The turbine and compressor were specifically designed to meet the requirements of the top-of-the-range model. The two eTurbos contribute not only to the considerable increase in performance but also to improve the responsiveness of the powertrain.
The particularly compact lightweight high-voltage battery with a capacity of 1.9 kWh is the same as that used in the 911 Carrera GTS. An eight-speed PDK with an integrated electric motor transmits the power to the Porsche Traction Management (PTM) all-wheel drive system.
Despite the additional components of the performance hybrid system, the new 911 Turbo S weighs just 85 kilograms more than its predecessor. The increase in weight has been more than compensated for in all areas relevant to driving dynamics. The best demonstration of this is the lap time on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. As part of the final development drives conducted in autumn 2024, a lightly camouflaged 911 Turbo S achieved a time of 7:03.92 minutes under notarial supervision – around 14 seconds faster than its predecessor.
The drag coefficient of the 911 Turbo S Coupé has been reduced by 10 per cent compared to its predecessor, when all active aerodynamic elements are in their most efficient position. In addition, active aerodynamics improve the wet braking performance of the top model: in wet mode, the front diffusers close to shield the front brake discs from excessive water spray.
