Porsche's flat-six is going electric. Sort of.
The 2025 911 Turbo S is getting electrified with Porsche's T-Hybrid system, pushing power to a staggering 710 horsepower. That's 70 horses more than the current model's already brutal 640 hp output.
The Hybrid Hammer
Porsche isn't going full EV here. They're being surgical.
The T-Hybrid system pairs a gearbox-integrated electric motor with an electrically driven turbocharger.
The combustion heart remains Porsche's legendary flat-six boxer, now working in tandem with an electric motor contributing approximately 55 hp and 110 lb-ft of instant torque.
Power delivery is instantaneous. No lag. No hesitation.
All that grunt gets routed through Porsche's lightning-quick PDK dual-clutch transmission to all four wheels.
Technical Wizardry
The hybrid battery is a masterclass in packaging:
- Front-mounted 1.9 kWh pack weighing just 27 kg
- Compact 400V system using cylindrical cells
- Roughly the size of a starter battery
This isn't about fuel economy. It's about performance.
The electric motor fills torque gaps while the turbo spools, creating a seamless wave of acceleration that should make the current 2.2-second 0-60 time look pedestrian.
Turbo Family Dynamics
The standard 2025 911 Turbo (non-S) isn't being left behind.
It's rumored to pack around 640 hp with rear-wheel drive and—purists rejoice—potentially an optional manual transmission.
The hybrid's battery placement maintains Porsche's obsessive weight distribution balance. No pendulum effect. No compromises.
All this technological firepower comes at a price: $230,400 to start.
For that, you get the most technically advanced 911 Turbo ever created. A hybrid that doesn't feel like one. A thoroughbred that just happens to have an electric boost button.
Porsche has electrified the 911 without electrocuting its soul.
The flat-six still screams. The turbos still whoosh. But now there's a silent partner providing thrust when you need it most.
It's the 911 Turbo S, evolved.
