Munich – Move aside, espresso shots and energy drinks—the new Porsche 911 Turbo S has arrived at the IAA Mobility motor show with its own version of double caffeine: a twin-turbo T-Hybrid powertrain. At 711 PS and 800 Nm, it’s officially the most powerful production 911 ever built, which is Porsche’s polite way of saying, “good luck keeping up.”
The Turbo S has long been the all-rounder of the supercar world—fast enough to shame Ferraris, comfortable enough to take to IKEA, and exclusive enough to impress your neighbour’s Labradoodle. Now, with electrified turbos, trick aerodynamics, and a Nürburgring lap time that’s 14 seconds faster than its predecessor, the new one raises the bar so high you’ll need a drone to spot it.
“Whether daily use, autobahn sprints or racetrack battles—we’ve made the new 911 Turbo S more comfortable, more individual and significantly faster,” said Frank Moser, VP of the 911 and 718 model lines, while casually understating a car that hits 0–100 km/h in 2.5 seconds and tops out at 322 km/h.
Hybrid, but Not as You Know It
Forget the eco-hipster hybrids that sip fuel like kale juice. Porsche’s T-Hybrid system uses two electric turbos and a compact 1.9 kWh battery to sharpen throttle response, add horsepower, and launch you into orbit quicker than you can say “bahn frei.” The only thing it won’t do is let you drive silently past your ex’s house—this Turbo still roars through a titanium exhaust tuned for maximum boxer drama.
Nordschleife Ninja
On Germany’s favourite torture track, the Nürburgring, the new Turbo S clocked 7:03.92 minutes, supervised by a notary (yes, really, Germans don’t joke about lap times). Porsche test driver Jörg Bergmeister summed it up: “You don’t feel the weight gain. The car is more agile, more grippy, and much faster.” Translation: lap records beware.
Brakes That Deserve Their Own Zip Code
Stopping power comes from the largest PCCB brake system ever fitted to a Porsche two-door—420 mm up front and 410 mm at the rear. That’s not brakes, that’s dinner plates. Wrapped in new 21-inch rear tyres, the Turbo S now grips like an overzealous first date.
Aero Meets Origami
Active aerodynamics flap, tilt, and slide in synchronised harmony: cooling flaps, diffuser, front spoiler, and rear wing all work like an orchestra of invisible pit crew, optimising drag, lift, and brake cooling. Porsche even engineered a “wet mode” to shield the brakes from spray. Handy when Munich skies are feeling moody.
Exclusive Turbonite Glam
On the outside and inside, you’ll find Turbonite accents—a Porsche-exclusive colour that screams, “Yes, I bought the expensive one.” Carbon trim, new HD Matrix LED headlights, 18-way sports seats, and enough stitching choices to rival Milan Fashion Week round out the package. For extra flex, buyers can design a matching Porsche Design Turbo S chronograph, complete with Turbonite details and leather from the car’s own interior.
The new Porsche 911 Turbo S doesn’t just move the goalposts—it buys the stadium, rewrites the rulebook, and sells tickets to the afterparty. Faster, sharper, louder, and still usable for the school run, it’s the Swiss Army knife of supercars. Only difference? This one does 322 km/h.
