Porsche 911 Turbo S, the most powerful 'nouveau' in history

The new Porsche 911 Turbo S now reaches 711 hp. This reality, which seems like a play on words, is no coincidence, since those from Zuffenhausen, north of Stuttgart, wanted this to be the precise power of the nine most powerful in history, if we leave aside the GT3 RS competition versions.

The new 911 Turbo S retains the six-cylinder boxer engine in the rear position (i.e., where the trunk should be), powered by two turbochargers and complemented by an electric motor to deliver the 711 hp and 800 Nm of torque promised by its spec sheet and which justifies its existence. All power is transmitted to the rear wheels and managed by an 8-speed PDK automatic gearbox that integrates the electric motor of this model.

It's important not to be mistaken for thinking that the 911 Turbo S is a conventional hybrid vehicle. Yes, it's entirely true that it has an electric motor associated with a combustion engine, but the idea wasn't to save fuel or emissions, but rather to build the nine The most powerful road car Porsche could imagine. In this sense, it's understandable why this sports car isn't a plug-in model and doesn't operate in electric mode: the idea here is to offer maximum pure performance rather than considering energy savings and strategies to reduce environmental impact.

Thanks to the power of the 911 Turbo S's hybrid system, the car offers spectacular performance: it can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 322 km/h. In fact, the brand claims its testers achieved a time of 7:03.92 minutes on the old Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit, about fourteen seconds faster than its predecessor.

However, the power of this 911 Turbo S demands that the entire vehicle be improved and appropriately updated to meet the demands of a sports car of this caliber. Porsche has improved the braking system, now with massive carbon-ceramic brake discs, while also incorporating several active aerodynamic elements that improve its drag coefficient, such as a new movable front diffuser, an extendable rear spoiler, and several air intake and cooling system improvements.

Obviously, one nine A car is never cheap, and even less so if it's a Turbo S that's already broken power records. The new Porsche 911 Turbo S will have a base price of €312,200 for the coupe version and €328,344 for the convertible versions, with first deliveries expected in early 2026.
