Has Porsche confirmed a new 911 Turbo S for 2025?

Yes. Porsche has confirmed a Turbo S will debut this year and public teasers indicate a reveal is imminent. Company statements during the half-year earnings call confirmed the Turbo S will adopt a hybrid setup.

Will the new Turbo S use a hybrid powertrain and how much power is expected?

The upcoming Turbo S is expected to use a hybrid system similar to the GTS, combining a turbocharged flat-six with electric motors. Output is anticipated to exceed the outgoing model’s 640 horsepower, with faster 0–62 mph acceleration thanks to instant electric torque.

How will the Turbo S compare to other 992.2 models and future 911 variants?

The Turbo S will be positioned above the hybrid GTS in the 911 lineup, offering the highest blend of daily usability and outright performance. A hybrid GT2 RS is rumored next year and could be even more track-focused, while Porsche has ruled out a fully electric 911 this decade.

What does Porsche’s commitment to combustion engines mean for other models like the Boxster and Cayman?

Porsche has committed to keeping the 911 with an internal combustion engine for as long as possible and is exploring synthetic fuels. However, the gas-powered Boxster and Cayman are scheduled to end production, with pure-electric successors planned later this decade.

Is This the New Porsche 911 Turbo S? What to Expect from the 992.2 Turbo Hybrid

A Turbo S Tease Ahead of the Reveal

Porsche has confirmed a Turbo S will arrive this year, and recent cryptic social clips suggest the debut is imminent. The 911 family continues to expand and evolve under the 992.2 update introduced last year, and the Turbo/Turbo S is the most likely next member to receive significant mechanical and visual changes. Porsche executives have already indicated the Turbo S will adopt electrification, following the GTS, and that move should push performance beyond the outgoing model’s 640 horsepower.

Design and Exterior Details

From the footage released to social media — including a teaser featuring actor and racer Patrick Dempsey — the car unmistakably reads as a 911 with a classic 2+2 layout. Expect Porsche to retain the familiar Turbo silhouette while refining aero elements: revised front intakes for improved cooling, more aggressive rear diffusers, and a reworked rear wing that integrates electric-aero management. Subtle facelift cues, special body-color options, and new wheel designs are likely to distinguish the Turbo S from other 992.2 variants while keeping the iconic DNA intact.

Interior and Technology

Inside, the Turbo S should adopt the latest Porsche infotainment and driver assistance upgrades from the 992.2 lineup: updated displays, improved connectivity, and optional lightweight sport seats. Expect unique interior trim and exclusive finishing packages for the Turbo S, plus features that cater to performance-minded drivers such as track telemetry and revised Sport Chrono functions tuned to a hybrid powertrain.

Powertrain and Performance Expectations

Confirmed by Porsche during a recent half-year earnings call, the Turbo S will use a hybrid setup like the GTS. That means a turbocharged flat-six coupled with one or more electric motors to deliver instant torque and improved throttle response. The outgoing Turbo S makes 640 hp and manages 0–62 mph in 2.7 seconds with the Sport Chrono Package; electrification should push peak output above 640 hp and shave several tenths from the sprint time thanks to electric torque fill and faster boost response.

Predicted Specifications

Estimated power: >640 hp (combined)
0–62 mph (0–100 km/h): likely under 2.7 seconds
Drivetrain: rear-engined, all-wheel drive with hybrid assistance
Transmission: Porsche PDK automatic tuned for hybrid operation

Chassis, Handling and Braking

Expect Porsche to recalibrate suspension, torque vectoring and stability control to account for the hybrid system’s weight and instantaneous torque. Carbon-ceramic brakes, adaptive dampers, and rear-wheel steering will likely be available or standard on higher-spec Turbo S models to preserve the sharp, planted handling 911 customers expect while extracting maximum performance on road and track.

Market Positioning and Comparisons

The Turbo S will remain the pinnacle of the 911 road-going range when launched, slotting above the hybrid GTS and below track-focused models like the rumored GT2 RS. Speaking of which, multiple reports indicate a GT2 RS could arrive next year, possibly also with hybrid assistance. Porsche is not planning a fully electric 911 this decade — the brand has publicly committed to keeping the 911 ICE alive for as long as feasible. That contrasts with the Boxster and Cayman (718) line, which are transitioning to fully electric replacements later this decade.

How the Turbo S Stacks Up

Compared with rivals, the Turbo S has always balanced everyday usability with extreme performance. The hybrid Turbo S will likely enhance that duality: sharper acceleration, improved driveability at low RPMs, and better efficiency under certain conditions, without sacrificing the character of a rear-mounted boxer engine.

Outlook and What We Still Don’t Know

Porsche’s Turbo S debut is expected soon. Key unknowns include exact hybrid architecture, battery capacity, electric-only range (if any), and final power and torque figures. The brand has also hinted that future models originally planned as EVs might retain combustion options, reaffirming that Porsche intends to keep the internal combustion engine in its lineup longer than many competitors. For now, enthusiasts can look forward to a Turbo S that promises to be “faster than schnell” — quicker, technologically advanced, and still unmistakably a 911.
