Unveiled right before IAA Mobility, the Munich Motor Show, this is the new 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S.
The new top-of-the-range Porsche 911.
More importantly, it’s the most powerful Porsche 911 ever made.
And it’s a hybrid.

It had to happen at some point, even for the Porsche 911 Turbo S
Electrification seems inevitable and even Porsche’s most iconic model embraced it.
The new 911 Turbo uses an electric powertrain combined with the legendary flat-six.
The result is a power output of 711PS (701hp), and a 0-62mph time of 2.5 seconds.
The top speed is 322kmh.
More importantly, this car is 14 seconds faster around Germany’s Nürburgring than its predecessor.
Visually, the new 911 Turbo looks roughly the same as the old one, with a redesigned front end with the new air vents, and an active cooling system, and new titanium pipes at the back.
As for the cabin, the main thing worth noting is that, like always, the ignition is on the left.
An old tribute to Le Mans that Porsche has retained for every single vehicle since the 1920s, including for vehicles that technically don’t have an ignition key – like Taycan – the starter button is on the left.
Everything must change for everything to remain the same
Porsche mastered the art of creating new cars that always look like an evolution of the previous model.
The design language remains consistent, from the sloping roofline to the rear-engine silhouette, and more importantly the car always gets technically better.
Porsche has stubbornly kept the engine at the back, something most automakers never do, and clearly they’ve pulled it off.
The Porsche 911 line-up remains as varied as ever
From the iconic 911 Dakar, which is unfortunately no longer in production, to the GT3 and the Carrera T, both available with a manual gearbox.
And now this, the most powerful production 911, and the first hybrid Turbo 911.
