Porsche has significantly updated the latest generation of the iconic 911, with the new 911 Carrera GTS leading the charge. This model is the first road-legal 911 to feature a lightweight, performance-focused hybrid powertrain. Alongside it, the enhanced 911 Carrera promises to deliver even more power and efficiency. Let’s delve into what makes these new models stand out.

A Leap Forward in Performance: 911 Carrera GTS Hybrid
Innovative Performance-Hybrid Powertrain
For the first time, the 911 Carrera GTS incorporates a hybrid powertrain inspired by motorsport technology. This system features a newly developed 3.6-liter engine paired with a strengthened eight-speed dual-clutch transmission (PDK) and an integrated, permanently excited synchronous motor. This motor supplements the power of the boxer engine with up to 110 lb.-ft. of torque and develops up to 40 kW.

Additionally, the GTS employs an electrically driven turbocharger, which enhances throttle response and performance by quickly developing boost. This turbocharger, combined with a compact high-voltage battery, provides the GTS with a total system power of 532 hp and 449 lb.-ft. of torque, allowing it to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 194 mph.
