This is the new Porsche 911 GTS T-Hybrid. The Porsche 911 is an iconic sports car known for its design, performance, and rear-engine layout, which has made it a symbol of automotive excellence for over six decades. Today I’m reviewing this new Hybrid 992, and I’ll show you the many quirks and features. I’m also going to get behind the wheel and show you what it’s like to drive.

The new T-Hybrid technology was derived from motorsport and combines emotive engine sound with outstanding performance. The significant increase in performance and the compact design of the lightweight T-Hybrid system also ensure an optimised power-to-weight ratio.
The engine is a new 3.6-litre flat-six unit 478 hp and generates a total of 532 horsepower, an increase of 59 horsepower. The hybrid system components add 50 kg versus a conventionally motivated 911 Carrera GTS, and over half of that weight 27 kg comes from the 1.9kWh battery. The electric motor is sandwiched between the engine and PDK transmission.

Drawing energy from the front-mounted battery, the electric motor delivers extra torque in remarkably instantaneous fashion, assisted by the engine’s large electric turbocharger. The 2025 911 coupe is offered as a two-seater, but a 2+2 seat configuration is a no-cost option.
