The first hybrid 911 isn't the only significant change for 2025

The base 911 Carrera gets a hefty bump in power thanks to a revised, 3.0-liter flat-six

Judging by the 992.1 Carrera, we expect the power of the base 911 to be closer to the outgoing 992.1 GTS

992.1 GTS hardware can be found in the 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera

The 992.2 Carrera features revised cooling and GTS turbochargers

Judging by the 992.1 Carrera dyno pulls, power for the 2025 will be a lot more than advertised

The 992.1 Carrera actually makes around 440 horsepower - WAY more than advertised

Judging by the 2025 improvements, the 992.2 Carrera will make a lot more than the advertised 388 horsepower

Porsche is notorious for downplaying the 911 figures, explaining how its sports car punches above its weight

Swipe up for more details on the 992.2 Carrera, and what you can expect power-wie

The media drive reviews of the 992.2 Porsche 911 are now out

YouTuber Jack from Savagegeese was in Estoril, Spain to test out the new model

Jack caught up with Porsche engineer Clen, to get his insights on the engineering behind the new T-Hybrid system,

Porsche collaborated with their Motorsport team for the T-hybrid system

The system has some fundamental differences as compared to Porsche's E-Hybrid system

The 992.2 GTS comes with an all-new 3.6 L flat-6 engine with one turbocharger

The highlight is the new turbo, that now features an electric motor that eliminates turbo lag

Further to this, there is an additional electric motor that has been integrated into the 8-speed PDK, for boosting and recuperating power

The T-hybrid system is supplemented by a lightweight 400V high voltage, 1.9 kWh battery pack

The system recuperates electric and thermal energy, converting it into power and feeding it back to the electric motor

The redesigned engine facilitates powering the PDCC system, improving responsiveness and overall performance.

Despite an additional 103 pounds due to the hybrid system, Porsche was able to keep the curb weight under 3,500 pounds

The 992.2 achieved an 8.7-second performance gain around Nürburgring, over the outgoing model

The Honda Prelude Is Making A Comeback After Two Decades, In A Hybrid Avatar

Set To Make Its Debut At The Goodwood Festival Of Speed, Its Design Has Caused Controversy

The Front End Seems To Take Inspiration From The Toyota Prius

The Rear End Of The Upcoming Prelude Too Appears Rather Familiar

The Presentation Of The Lightbar And Make Model Font Is Very Similar To Porsche

The Expanded Font For Honda Is Also Similar To The Way Porsche Does It

The Placement Of The Prelude Badge Seems To Have An Uncanny Resemblance To Porsche

Honda Has Used The Cursive Font On Prelude Back In The 90s

But Its The Overall Presentation, Placement, And Colors Of The Badges That Make The Appear Similar To The Porsche

The Narrow Light Strip And Placement Of Model Name Is A Design Trend Of Modern Porsche Models

Imitiation Is The Sincerest Form Of Flattery, Maybe This Is Honda's Homage To Porsche

This Could Very Well Be A Coincidence As Well Since Narrow Light Bars Are Appearing On A Wide Range Of New Cars

The Honda Prelude Is Stated For A 2026 Release, Maybe We Will See Some Changes In The Final Design By Then

For 2024, range-topping Porsche Panamera Turbo put on a few extra pounds - now 5,302 - but it won't stop there

We are yet to see the range-topping Panamera Turbo 'S' E Hybrid make an appearance, which is expected to be even heavier

VAG has a history with heavyweights. The Bentley Continental GT tips the scales at 5,423 pounds

The 2024 Panamera Turbo E Hybrid packs almost as much power as the old Turbo S E Hybrid and more torque

670 hp and 685 lb-ft are enough for a 3.0-second 0-60 mph spring, but Porsche often downplays its performance figures

Porsche's innovative active suspension masks the Panamera's massive weight quite well

The 2024 Porsche Panamera Turbo E Hybrid has up to 58 miles of electric range

Some of the lesser V-6 Hybrid variants of the Panamera can provide up to 55 miles of electric range

The electric motor in the 2024 Panamera Turbo E Hybrid provides 187 hp instead of 134 in the old one

For 2024, the Panamera Turbo E Hybrid gets a bigger battery - 25.9 kWh versus 17.9 on the old Panamera

This suggests that the upcoming Panamera Turbo S E Hybrid might be even heavier. We'll have to wait and see if this is true.

With its naturally-aspirated 4.0-flat-six, the 992 GT3 RS sounds great out of the box

Youtuber NM2255 | Raw Car Sounds got to compare the two exhaust systems

You might think the Porsche 992 GT3 RS soundtrack can't get any crazier, but you'd be wrong

Two very different "bundles of snakes" from Akrapovic and Dundon Motorsport enhance the 911 GT3 RS performance and engine note

You get equal gains in peak horsepower from both exhaust kits, but different engine characteristics

With nearly 550 horsepower on tap, the 992 GT3 RS can hit 186 mph instead of the official 183

Akrapovic's exhaust results in a deeper growl, similar to classic 911s. You also see bigger gains in torque

Dundon Motorsport's exhaust results in a more racecar-like soundtrack

Swipe up to learn more about how these two exhausts from reputable companies change the characteristics of the Porsche 992 GT3 RS.

Porsche recently unveiled the 992.2 911 generation for the 2025 Model year

This is the first-ever production 911 to feature hybrid-tech

But tech YouTuber MKBHD, a.k.a Marques Brownlee is not a fan for a few reasons

He bought a 992.1 911 Turbo S for his 30th Birthday

He swapped out his previous daily driver, the Model S Plaid for the 911 Turbo S

In the six months that he has owned it, MKBHD has already covered over 8,000 miles

He continues to rate it highly and says its his new bench mark for gas-powered sports cars

However, he's not a fan of two things that Porsche has done with the 992.2 facelift

The first is ditching the old twist-and-go style starter for a generic button from the VW parts bin 😒

The second is going with an all-digital driver display, which tries hard to replicate the 911's iconic five-tube instrument cluster 👎

According to Maruqes, no one even really complained about the analog-digital setup on the previous 992.1

Swipe up to find out why Porsche chose to take this route.

Porsche enthusiast & YouTuber ARC Driver spotted a mysterious image on the Porsche cobfigurator.

Rumors point to a base internal combustion Turbo and a Hybrid Turbo S model

The rendering in the configurator follows the profile of the recently unveiled 992.2 Carrera and GTS

The image hints at wider fenders, a turbo intake, and a unique spoiler that integrates into the bodywork

It's unlikely to be purely a Touring model as the rear fender lacks an air intake

We also can't confirm if its a pure Turbo either as they generally have a spoiler that sticks out

Speculation suggests it could be a stripped-down, rear-wheel-drive, manual-transmission Turbo

Another theory is the Turbo S Touring with an integrated rear wing

ARC Driver believes there could be at least four variations of the 992.2 Turbo

The upcoming Turbo will most likely feature the 3.6-liter boxer that debuted on the 992.2 GTS

J.D. Power Initial Quality Study ranks car brands based on problems per 100 vehicles (PP100)

Porsche (172 PP100) leads the premium car brands in the 2024 study, and ranked 7th overall

The industry average is 195 PP100

Over 100,000 new car buyers were surveyed across 200 models and 30 brands

German rivals (Audi, BMW, Mercedes) scored higher PP100 than Porsche.

Even Lexus (174 PP100) and Acura (193 PP100) couldn't match Porsche, but Lexus LC ranked highest quality model

Success factors for Porsche come from proper execution of features, controls & displays, premium materials, less new car odor

The study suggests good engineering and well-integrated tech contributed to the high rankings

Note that this study focuses on initial quality over the past year

The long-term reliability of Porsche after this win remains to be seen. Swipe up to read more.
