Porsche 911 Turbo S
The new 2026 911 Turbo S is the most powerful production 911 to date thanks to an innovative twin-turbo powertrain with T-Hybrid technology. The 701 hp (523 kW) all-wheel drive sports car combines outstanding performance with a high degree of exclusivity, long-distance comfort and everyday usability.
Available as a coupe and Cabriolet, the new generation debuts with significantly improved performance, a more muscular design, refined aerodynamics, an optimized chassis and an extensive list of optional equipment for personalization. The newly-developed, high-performance T-Hybrid powertrain achieves a system output of 701 hp (523 kW), a 61-hp increase over the previous model. The maximum torque of the powertrain is 590 lb.-ft. and is available over an extremely wide range of 2,300 to 6,000 rpm. Peak horsepower is available across an especially broad powerband between 6,500 and 7,000 rpm.
The T-Hybrid technology, which first appeared last year in the current 911 Carrera GTS, has been developed further for the 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 turbines and compressors were specifically designed to meet the requirements of the top-of-the-range model. The two eTurbos not only contribute to the considerable increase in power, but they also improve responsiveness.
The top track speed of the new 911 Turbo S is 200 mph and it improves in many areas to match its more potent powertrain. This includes a new generation of tires that offer significantly improved dry handling while maintaining good wet performance. The rear tires now measure 325/30 ZR 21, making them 10 mm wider than those of the previous car. Dimensions for the front tires remain the same as before at 255/35 ZR 20. The standard Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) system is fitted with new brake pads, the material mixture of which comes from motorsport and is designed with the increased power and associated braking demands in mind.
An electro-hydraulically controlled Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (ehPDCC) system is included as standard equipment. The system, also available as an option on the the 911 Carrera GTS T-Hybrid, uses the 400-volt electrical system and high-voltage battery to operate. It reduces body roll when changing direction and increases agility when entering and exiting corners, actuating more quickly than the hydraulic PDCC system used in the previous 911 Turbo S era models.
As is typical for a 911 Turbo model, the body is wider than on the current 911 Carrera models. The rear quarter panels also feature intakes that channel process air to the engine. On the redesigned rear fascia, striking ventilation openings additionally emphasize the width. Oval shaped titanium exhaust openings are available as an option.
The 911 Turbo S coupe is delivered as a two-seater as standard, but rear seats are optionally available at no additional charge. The Cabriolet is only offered in a 2+2 seat configuration. Porsche equips the new 911 Turbo S with HD Matrix Design LED headlights as standard. The Sport Chrono Package including tire temperature gauge, the specifically tuned Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) chassis, the ehPDCC system, and the titanium Sport Exhaust System are also standard equipment. In the interior, adaptive 18-way Sport Seats Plus with memory function and “Turbo S” lettering on the headrests are fitted as standard. The Turbo S-specific embossing on the seat surfaces and door panels is a reinterpretation of the design features of the original 911 Turbo.
