Porsche has introduced its hybrid sports car 911 for the first time and showcased the improved 2025 lineup of the 911 series, with the main highlight being the enhanced Carrera GTS. Like most supercars, the new 911 will not offer a manual transmission. In fact, no new 911 models for 2025 will be available with a manual gearbox. However, the manual transmission is expected to make a comeback in the 2026 models to provide additional publicity for the new car.
The GTS model is based on the 2024 Carrera S, offering more powerful performance and stability, featuring an upgraded 3-liter twin-turbocharged engine. The GTS also introduces a T-Hybrid version powered by a 3.6-liter six-cylinder engine, adding $14,000 to the previous price of $150,900.
This engine provides 478 horsepower, an increase of 3 horsepower compared to the previous version, with a maximum torque of 570 Nm. The new GTS versions discard the old twin-turbo setup in favor of a single turbocharger. It is equipped with a battery that powers an electric motor hidden in the 8-speed PDK transmission, providing 54 horsepower and 149 Nm of torque, resulting in a total system output of 532 horsepower and 609 Nm.
The new GTS accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds, compared to 3.2 seconds for the previous non-hybrid version. Porsche has not disclosed the speed of the all-wheel-drive GTS, priced at $172,700. The new GTS reaches a top speed of 312 km/h, just one mile per hour faster than before, while the Turbo version reaches 320 km/h.
The GTS models come standard with a sports exhaust system featuring closed exhaust outlets and rear-wheel steering. They are available with 20-inch front wheels and 21-inch rear wheels. Additionally, they feature adaptive PASM dampers and a ride height lowered by 10 mm compared to the Carrera.
