2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S goes hybrid, goes faster 

Porsche has enlisted the aid of its new hybrid system to boost the new 992.2 911 Turbo S beyond 500kW, making it the most powerful production example of the breed ever made. 

Porsche has revealed its new 911 Turbo S – producing a whopping 523kW; a healthy 45kW bump over its predecessor – on the eve of the Munich motor show. Combined with other performance upgrades, the result is a dazzling 14-second faster Nurburgring time and a 0.2 second reduction in the 0-100km/h dash, which is now just 2.5 seconds. 

Another big number is the price. The new Turbo S coupe comes in at $577,300, while the cabriolet is $598,000. Both prices are plus on-road costs. 

Incredibly, it takes the all-wheel drive supercar – which retains an eight-speed dual clutch PDK transmission –just 8.4 seconds to reach 200km/h from rest. 

This is an improvement of 0.5 seconds compared to the old model. Meanwhile, top speed is claimed to be 322km/h, down compared to the previous generation’s 330km/h claim. This is put down to tyre pressures that prioritise ride and handling over sheer top speed. 

Other key technical advancements for the new 911 Turbo S include new-generation and wider rear tyres that measure an enormous 325/30ZR21, larger rear discs and new brake pads for the ceramic composite braking system, a titanium exhaust, a family of active aerodynamic enhancements and electro-hydraulically controlled dynamic chassis system (ehPDCC) that aids cornering and ride. 

Despite the addition of the hybrid system, Porsche said it has kept the new car’s weight gain to 85kg. 

It cites the 14-second faster 7:03.92 minute ‘Green Hell’ time as proof of the gains made with the new generation. 

The 911 Turbo S has also had its exterior design addressed. As per usual it comes with wider tracks and extra rear-side body openings than the 911 Carrera iterations. 

A new colour called Tribonite is reserved for Turbo models, with specific Turbo S slats in the rear wing and window strips, while inside there are more accents in the same colour, including the seat belts and several buttons. 

The Turbo S also offers PASM active dampers, the Sport Chrono package and HD Matric LED headlights. 

The 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S duo will be available for delivery in Australia from the second quarter (April-June) of 2026.
