Today, Porsche debuted a brand-new 911 version at the IAA Mobility program in Munich, Germany. It’s the most effective 911 to date, leaving out some limited-run designs, and might well be the quickest to 60 miles per hour from a standing start, dispatching that dash in simply 2.4 seconds. And it’s all thanks to among the most intriguing hybrid powertrains on sale today.

Instead of simply bolting an electrical motor to an existing 911, Porsche created a totally brand-new 3.6 L flat-six engine, seizing the day to ditch the belt drive and move a few of the ancillaries, which can rather be powered by the vehicle’s 400 V traction battery.

The system debuted in the 911 GTS T-Hybrid, which Ars just recently examined. For that cars and truck, Porsche included a single electrical turbocharger, which works like the MGU-H in a Formula 1 automobile. It spins up practically immediately to 120,000 rpm to get rid of throttle lag, however likewise regains excess energy from the spinning turbine and sends out that to the 1.9 kWh battery pack.

The outcome is a turbocharged engine that has an impressive throttle reaction that’s more like an EV, without any noticeable lag in between preliminary tip-in and power being provided to the wheels.

For the 2026 911 Turbo S, there are a set of these electrical turbochargers. And like the GTS, you’ll discover a 53 hp (40 kW), 110 lb-ft (150 Nm) irreversible concurrent motor inside the eight-speed double clutch transmission. Overall output is a heady 701 hp (523 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm), which suffices to cut the 0– 60 miles per hour (0– 98 km/h) time to 2.4 seconds. 124 miles per hour (200 km/h) takes simply 8.4 seconds, half a 2nd less than the 2025 Turbo S.
