The new Porsche 911 Turbo S is following in big footsteps. Its predecessor was considered the benchmark in the sports car world when it came to the combination of superior performance, long-distance comfort, exclusivity and everyday usability. Now the 911 Turbo S has once again raised the bar significantly in all areas. The sports car, which is available as a Coupé and Cabriolet, debuts with significantly increased performance, a more muscular design, more intelligent aerodynamics, an optimised chassis and even more exclusive equipment.
"The 911 Turbo S is the most complete and versatile way to drive a Porsche 911. Whether in daily use, on long motorway drives or on the racetrack – we have been able to make the new 911 Turbo S even more comfortable, more individual and significantly faster than its predecessor," says Frank Moser, Vice President of the 911 and 718 model line.
Innovative Twin-Turbo T-Hybrid powertrain
The newly developed, high-performance powertrain achieves a system output of 523 kW (711 PS). This makes the new 911 Turbo S the most powerful production 911 to date. The maximum torque of the powertrain is 800 Nm and is available over an extremely wide range of 2,300 to 6,000 rpm. The power curve is also characterised by an unusually broad peak: between 6,500 and 7,000 crankshaft revolutions, the full power of 711 PS is available. Equipped with the innovative and particularly lightweight T-Hybrid technology with a 400 V system, it increases power by 61 PS compared to its predecessor.
A T-Hybrid powertrain first debuted in 2024 in the 911 Carrera GTS. The technology has been significantly further developed for use in the new 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 turbine and compressor were specifically designed to meet the requirements of the top-of-the-range model. The two eTurbos contribute not only to the considerable increase in performance, they also improve the responsiveness of the powertrain.
The particularly compact lightweight high-voltage battery with a capacity of 1.9 kWh is the same as the one used in the 911 Carrera GTS. An eight-speed PDK with an integrated electric motor transmits the power to the Porsche Traction Management (PTM) all-wheel drive system. The Turbo S Coupé's acceleration time of 0-100 km/h is reduced by 0.2 seconds to 2.5 seconds compared to its predecessor. It takes 8.4 seconds to reach 200 km/h when tested on the track, which represents an improvement of 0.5 seconds. The top speed of the new 911 Turbo S when tested on the track is 322 km/h.
Around 14 seconds faster on the Nürburgring Nordschleife
Despite the additional components of the performance hybrid system, the new 911 Turbo S weighs only 85 kilograms more than its predecessor. The increase in weight was more than compensated for in all areas relevant to driving dynamics. The best proof of this is the lap time on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. As part of the final development drives conducted in autumn 2024, a lightly camouflaged 911 Turbo S achieved a time of 7:03.92 minutes under notarial supervision – around 14 seconds faster than its predecessor. "You don't feel the weight gain. On the contrary – the car is much more agile, has more grip and is significantly faster than its predecessor in all relevant sections of the track," says Porsche Brand Ambassador Jörg Bergmeister, who was involved in the development and testing of the new 911 Turbo S and set the official lap time.
Brakes and tyres with optimised performance
The Porsche engineers adapted the entire periphery of the vehicle to this impressive performance of the top-of-the-range 911 model. The new generation of tyres used in the 911 Turbo S offers significantly improved dry handling while maintaining good performance in the wet. The rear axle of the sports car is now fitted with ten-millimetre wider tyres compared to the previous model, measuring 325/30 ZR 21. As with its predecessor 255/35 ZR 20 size tyres are mounted on the front axle. The standard Porsche ceramic composite brake (PCCB) system is fitted with new brake pads and can withstand enormous loads. This improves braking performance and pedal feel in equal measure. The engineers increased the brake disc diameter on the rear axle from 390 mm to 410 mm. Brake discs with a diameter of 420 mm are used at the front. This means that the new 911 Turbo S is equipped with the largest PCCB brake system that Porsche has ever installed in a two-door model.
Intelligent active aerodynamics
A new aerodynamic concept optimises the cooling and efficiency of the new 911 Turbo S. Active, vertically arranged cooling air flaps in the front of the vehicle and an active front diffuser, together with the variable lip of the front spoiler and the extendable and tilting rear wing inherited from the predecessor, work together as an efficient overall system. Cooling air flows optimally to the brakes and radiators. Depending on the driving situation, active aerodynamics intelligently reduce lift or, when retracted, drag. The drag coefficient of the 911 Turbo S Coupé has been reduced by ten per cent compared to its predecessor in the most efficient position of all active aerodynamic elements. In addition, the active aerodynamics improve the wet braking behavior of the top model: in wet mode, the front diffusers close to shield the front brake discs from excessive water spray.
Chassis for improved agility and stability
The T-Hybrid powertrain with its high-voltage electrical system and battery system allows Porsche engineers to equip the 911 Turbo S with electro-hydraulically controlled Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (ehPDCC) as standard. It reduces the tendency to roll when changing direction and increases agility when entering and exiting corners. The system works with cross-connected, active coupling rods, in which pressure is built up by oil volume flow depending on the driving situation. The stabilisers generate support forces and keep the vehicle in balance. This makes the sports car even more predictable and easier to drive despite the enormous power. This improves both driving comfort and driving dynamics. As a result, the top model of the 911 model series improves further in driving comfort, stability and agility at the same time. For optimum everyday usability, the ehPDCC is available with an optional lift system for the front axle, which acts much faster than its predecessor thanks to its integration into the 400 V system.
A new standard sports exhaust system with rear silencer and tailpipe trims made of titanium also underscores the position of the 911 Turbo S acoustically. Its sound was composed especially for the top model. In addition, the exhaust system saves weight. Another component of the even more emotional sound image is internal motor upgrades. The 3.6-litre boxer engine works specifically with asymmetrical timing that adds further frequencies to the engine sound and thus produces a more throaty and sharper sound.
Exclusive look and high-quality equipment
With the new Turbo S, Porsche's cross-series turbo design strategy is being introduced in the 911. Numerous contrasting elements are designed in the color Turbonite, which is reserved exclusively for the Turbo variants. These include the Porsche crest and the "Turbo S" lettering at the rear. In addition, Turbo S specific inserts in the slats of the rear wing and side window strips differentiate the top-of-the-range model. The range of wheels for the Turbo S includes new center lock designs in Turbonite.
As is typical for Turbo, the new top-of-the-range model of the current 911 series has a visibly wider body and track compared to the Carrera models, as well as openings in the rear side section. On the redesigned rear fascia, striking ventilation openings additionally emphasise the width. The tailpipes of the titanium exhaust system in Turbo's typical, reinterpreted design underscore the Turbo S's leading position in the series, as does a dynamic pearl structure above the taillight strip. Oval titanium tailpipe trims with a special structure are available as an option. Overall, its exclusive appearance clearly differentiates the Turbo S from other 911 models.
Accents in Turbonite also characterise the interior. They can be found in the door panels, steering wheel, dashboard and center console surrounds, decorative stitching, Sport Chrono stopwatch and instrument cluster. The seat belts and several buttons in the center console are also designed by the Porsche designers in this color. For the first time, carbon-structured trim strips with neodyme trim and a perforated microfibre headliner with black backing are part of the exclusive interior.
As a Coupé, the 911 Turbo S is delivered as a two-seater as standard. On request, the rear seat system can be configured at no extra charge. The Cabriolet is only delivered in a 2+2 configuration. Porsche equips the new 911 Turbo S with HD Matrix LED headlights as standard. They have innovative light functions that increase safety noticeably when driving at night. The Sport Chrono Package including tyre temperature gauge, the specifically tuned PASM suspension, the PDCC electro-hydraulic roll support and the titanium sports exhaust system are also standard equipment. In the interior, Adaptive 18-way Sports Seats Plus with memory function and "Turbo S" lettering on the headrests stand out. The Turbo S specific embossing on the seat surfaces and door panels is a reinterpretation of the design features of the first 911 Turbo 930.
