Refreshed 992.2-Gen Porsche 911 Turbo S Goes Hybrid With 701 HP

At last, the revised 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S has bowed ahead of the IAA Mobility 2025 show this week, and both coupe and cabriolet forms were shown.

With the arrival of the T-Hybrid system in the 992.2-gen 911 GTS guise, it was perhaps only a matter of time before Porsche electrified the range-topping 911 Turbo. That’s exactly what has happened in this updated 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S pictured.

Revealed ahead of this week’s IAA Mobility 2025 show in both coupe and cabriolet forms, the revised 2026 model year 911 Turbo S hybrid bows as the most powerful production 911 model ever created, thus marking a landmark shift for this iconic sportscar nameplate too.

Notably, there’s no new ‘base’ 911 Turbo variant that normally slots below the fully-loaded 911 Turbo S guise, and it might not come in this refresh. Historically, the latter has stood as the stronger seller in modern times.

The revised 992.2-gen 911 Turbo S uses a new 3.6-litre flat 6-cyl derived from the 911 GTS T-Hybrid primed with the eTurbo system.

With this mid-life refresh, changes under the skin are wide-ranging to say the least. Firstly, the pre-facelift model’s 3.7-litre twin-turbo flat 6-cyl has been replaced with a new 3.6-litre mill derived from the electrified 911 Carrera GTS hybrid mentioned.

Said mill benefits with the same asymmetric valve timing system plus new pistons with a higher compression ratio. New here too is an additional ‘eTurbo’ system that now sees both blowers working in parallel.

As a result, the second ever 911 model to be electrified boasts 701 hp between 6,500 and 7,000 rpm, and a meaty 800 NM of twist from as low as 2,300 rpm. The latter isn’t higher than before, but is now more accessible across the rev range instead.

Altogether, this mill puts out 701 hp and 800 Nm, making this the most powerful 911 model ever made.

Additionally, the T-Hybrid system in this revised 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S also uses a compact 1.9 kWh battery that juices an e-motor connected to the shaft between the compressor and turbine in each turbo.

In turn, the system helps spool the turbos up extremely quickly to reach peak boost – roughly “two seconds” sooner than usual, claims Porsche. In turn, this effectively cancels out any lag whilst also delivering enhanced throttle response.

Beisdes the eTurbo system detailed, the T-Hybrid package includes an e-motor integrated in the 8-speed PDK box too, and this alone brings roughly 188 Nm to the mix.

By the way, said battery also juices an e-motor intergrated in the 8-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission. This alone contributes roughly 188 NM into the driveline before the flat 6-cyl supplies the rest.

Coupled with the Porsche Traction Management all-wheel-drive (AWD) suite, it sees 0-100 km/h now done in just 2.4 secs and 0-200 km/h done in 8.4 secs – 0.2 and 0.5 secs improvements, respectively. V-max, on the other hand, has lowered slightly to 320 km/h.

Porsche claims the revised 911 Turbo S will now do 0-100 km/h in just 2.4 secs, 0-200 km/h in just 8.4 secs, and hit a V-max of 320 km/h despite being 82 kg heavier than before.

Porsche adds this 2026MY 911 Turbo S is also quicker around the Nurburgring Nordschleife than the pre-facelift model by 14 seconds.

In terms of weight, added electrification does bring roughly 82 kg into the mix and increase kerb heft to 1,736 kg. however, Porsche were quick to point out this increase weight was no issue considering it all stemmed form the hybrid system detailed.

Moreover, Porsche touts that this new hybridised 911 Turbo S has lapped the infamous Nurburgring Nordschleife in 7 mins and 3.92 secs (7:03.92). Said laptime marks a stunning 14- second improvement over the pre-facelift version.

Contributing to that record laptime too is the electro-hydraulically controlled Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control that’s powered by the car’s 400-volt electrical system – identical to the one on the GTS – with quicker reactions versus hydraulic units.

Other key changes include larger, beefier ceramic brakes, active aerodynamics with improved cooling, Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control, and more.

Other notable hardware brimmed include larger new 420 mm (front) and 410 mm (rear) ceramic brakes, staggered 20-inch (front) and 21-inch (rear) wheels and tyres profile, as well as a slew of active aerodynamics that also improve cooling.

Lastly, there’s even a new sports exhaust system featuring titanium tips and muffler. This both enhances the engine’s soundtrack and contributes to further weight savings.

Changes on board are mild, but the 911 Turbo S does continue to offer signature Turbonite accents, carbon fibre inserts with Neodyme accents, as well as black Race-Tex headliner.

like the exterior, changes in the cabin are mild so to speak. However, there are some unique elements that set this range-topper apart like the signature Turbonite accents, carbon fibre inserts with ‘Neodyme’ accents, as well as black Race-Tex headliner.

Other notable highlights here include 18-way adjustable sports seats, a wide array of personalisation options via Porsche’s Exclusive Manufactur arm, paint-to-sample exterior paintjob options, as well as a matching Porsche Design chronograph timepiece.
