Porsche 911 gets hybrid version for the first time

On the new Porsche 911, the hybrid powertrain is equipped on the 911 Carrera GTS version, consisting of a 911-specific rear-mounted flat-six engine and an electric turbocharger. This system provides a total output of 532 horsepower and 609Nm of torque.

Unlike the remaining versions that continue to use a 3.0L engine, the Carrera GTS model uses a 3.6L engine with 478 horsepower and 570Nm torque, an increase of 5 horsepower compared to the previous version.

The hybrid system allows Porsche to switch to a single electric turbocharger instead of twin turbos. The electric turbocharger is similar to a conventional turbocharger but has a 1 kW (14.7 hp) motor placed between the turbine and compressor.

This motor can quickly boost the turbocharger's rotation speed to very high levels, increasing responsiveness, greatly reducing turbo lag, and simultaneously reverse charging the 400V battery pack.

There’s also a 32.6-horsepower traction motor sandwiched between the petrol engine and the eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, powered by a 1.9kWh battery under the front hood, where the 12V battery is normally housed on other 911s. This boosts performance across the rev range while maintaining the ideal air-fuel ratio of 14.7:1.

Compared to the previous generation, the new Porsche 911 Carrera GTS weighs 46.7kg more but still maintains impressive acceleration thanks to a more powerful engine. Acceleration time from 0-96km/h takes only 2.9 seconds.

The car gets new active aerodynamic front spoilers to improve cooling without increasing drag. The front and rear have been slightly restyled, with new wheel and tire options. The most notable new feature in the interior is the all-digital instrument cluster.

The 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS is expected to arrive at dealerships in the US later this year with a starting price of nearly $167,000, an increase of about $14,000 over the previous model.
