The new Porsche 911 Turbo S is following in big footsteps. Its predecessor was already considered the benchmark in the sports car world when it came to the combination of superior performance, long-distance comfort, exclusivity and everyday usability. Now the 911 Turbo S has once again raised the bar significantly in all areas. The sports car, which is available as a coupé and Cabriolet, debuts with significantly increased performance, a more muscular design, more intelligent aerodynamics, an optimized chassis and even more exclusive equipment.
"The 911 Turbo S is the most complete and versatile way to drive a Porsche 911. Whether in daily use, on long motorway drives or on the racetrack - we have been able to make the new 911 Turbo S even more comfortable, more individual and significantly faster than its predecessor," says Frank Moser, Vice President of the 911 and 718 model line.
Innovative Twin-Turbo T-Hybrid powertrain
The newly developed, high-performance powertrain achieves a system output of 523 kW (711 PS). This makes the new 911 Turbo S the most powerful production 911 to date. The maximum torque of the powertrain is 800 Nm and is available over an extremely wide range of 2,300 to 6,000 rpm. The power curve is also characterized by an unusually broad peak: between 6,500 and 7,000 crankshaft revolutions, the full power of 711 PS is available. Equipped with the innovative and particularly lightweight T-Hybrid technology with a 400 V system, it increases power by 61 PS compared to its predecessor. A T-Hybrid powertrain first debuted in 2024 in the 911 Carrera GTS. The technology has been significantly further developed for use in the new 911 Turbo S. While a single electric exhaust gas turbocharger (eTurbo) is integrated into the T-Hybrid system in the GTS, two eTurbos are used in the new 911 Turbo S. The turbine and compressor were specifically designed to meet the requirements of the top-of-the-range model. The two eTurbos contribute not only to the considerable increase in performance, they also improve the responsiveness of the powertrain. The particularly compact lightweight high-voltage battery with a capacity of 1.9 kWh is the same as the one used in the 911 Carrera GTS. An eight-speed PDK with an integrated electric motor transmits the power to the Porsche Traction Management (PTM) all-wheel drive system. The Turbo S Coupé's sprint time of 0-100 km/h is reduced by 0.2 seconds to 2.5 seconds compared to its predecessor. It takes 8.4 seconds to reach 200 km/h, which represents an improvement of 0.5 seconds. The top speed of the new 911 Turbo S is 322 km/h.
Around 14 seconds faster on the Nürburgring Nordschleife
Despite the additional components of the performance hybrid system, the new Porsche 911 Turbo S weighs only 85 kilograms more than its predecessor. The increase in weight was more than compensated for in all areas relevant to driving dynamics. The best proof of this is the lap time on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. As part of the final development drives conducted in autumn 2024, a lightly camouflaged 911 Turbo S achieved a time of 7:03.92 minutes under notarial supervision - around 14 seconds faster than its predecessor. "You don't feel the weight gain. On the contrary - the car is much more agile, has more grip and is significantly faster than its predecessor in all relevant sections of the track," says Porsche Brand Ambassador Jörg Bergmeister, who was involved in the development and testing of the new 911 Turbo S and set the official lap time.
Brakes and tires with optimized performance
The Porsche engineers adapted the entire periphery of the vehicle to this impressive performance of the top-of-the-range 911 model. The new generation of tyres used in the 911 Turbo S offers significantly improved dry handling while maintaining good wet performance. The rear axle of the sports car is now fitted with ten millimeter wider tires compared to the previous model, measuring 325/30 ZR 21. As with its predecessor 255/35 ZR 20 size tires are mounted on the front axle. The standard Porsche ceramic composite brake (PCCB) system is fitted with new brake pads and can withstand enormous loads. This improves braking performance and pedal feel in equal measure. The engineers increased the brake disc diameter on the rear axle from 390 mm to 410 mm. Brake discs with a diameter of 420 mm are used at the front. This means that the new 911 Turbo S is equipped with the largest PCCB brake system that Porsche has ever installed in a two-door model.
