The Story Behind Porsche's Obsession With Turbos
The first turbocharged Porsche was not a 911
But one of the final iterations of the 917 race car, more specifically the 917/10 and the 917/30
The first 911 to receive a turbocharger was the 1974 Carrera RSR Turbo 2.1
Thanks to a big single turbo, its 2.1-liter boxer engine produced from 500 to 620 hp
In 2024, Porsche celebrates 50 years of the 911 Turbo - its most capable road-going variant
Because of its big single turbo and laggy characteristics, the 930 Turbo was nicknamed the Widowmaker
The more powerful, 3.3-liter variants of the original 911 Turbo feature a K26 turbocharger, for upto 330 hp in the Turbo S model
2006 marked a milestone for Porsche's turbocharging game, with the 997
The Porsche 997 Turbo was the first 911 to feature variable-geometry turbochargers
Some advantages of VGT technology include better heat resistance, more power, and broader torque curve
The more track-focused, 997 GT2 and GT2 RS models feature similar turbo technology, but with upgraded turbos for even more power
The first production hybrid 911 marked another evolution in Porsche's forced induction technology
The T-Hybrid loses the twin-turbo for a big single turbo that's electrically-assisted
The turbocharger's E-motor helps with spooling and can turn excess exhaust gasses into energy

Three Non-hybrid Alternatives To The Upcoming Porsche 911 Turbo S You Can Still Buy New
If you are not a fan of the upcoming 911 Turbo S going hybrid, these 3 alternatives have the pedigree and performance minus the electrification
The C8 Corvette brings mid-engine American V-8 performance to a segment dominated by European models
The C8 Z06 is the first Corvette to feature a flat-plane V-8
It revs to 8,600 RPM and sounds like something you'd find in a Ferrari
With a starting MSRP of just over $113,000, the C8 Z06 is a true bargain, and about half the expected price of a 992.2 Turbo S
The Nissan GT-R R35 was specifically designed to compete with the 911 Turbo S
Current Nissan GT-R prices start at $122,985. The NISMO is yours for $222,985
2025 is the last year, in which the GT-R will be available
Only 1,500 will be built, 300 of which NISMO
Ferrari Roma is the Italian brand's latest, entry-level GT, and shares a platform with the Portofino
Even in Spider (convertible) form, the Roma is all about lightness and grace
With a starting price of just over $247,000, the Roma is the second-most affordable Ferrari and would match the Turbo S in terms of price
The Porsche 992.2 Turbo S will feature a more powerful variant of the GTS' T-hybrid powertrain, with around 710 hp

Porsche Hasn't Released The 992.2 Carrera S Just Yet For A Very Good Reason
Porsche's recent focus on the hybrid 911 is why the Carrera S will take longer to arrive
Porsche's decision to not offer its most popular 911 right away shows the German automaker is willing to go the extra mile to push the electrified 911 in our faces
There is no Carrera S prototype spotted yet, which means it will be based on one of the existing 992.2 models
We know the base 992.2 Carrera received the 992.1 GTS' turbochargers. A 992.2 Carrera S could get the 992.1 Turbo's setup
One source claims the 992.2 Carrera S would feature a hybrid setup, similar to the 2025 GTS
A hybrid powertrain on the Carrera S could have some consequences for the more analog focused driver
It automatically rules out a manual 911, at least for the mainstream models
A fairly reliable source quotes a power figure of 510 horsepower for the upcoming Carrera S
However, this power figure puts it dangerously close to the T-Hybrid-powered Carrera GTS
The 992.2 Carrera S could also introduce a more distinctive design that separates it from other 992.2 models
A 500-plus horsepower, hybrid Carrera S would be a big jump from the base Carrera, unless Porsche is planning something special

Is This The Next Best Thing To A Porsche 911 Turbo S?
The second-generation Mercedes AMG GT coupe openly throws the gauntlet at the 911 Turbo S
AMG's new sports coupe features a powerful PHEV powertrain in its range-topping trim
The GT63 S E Performance still relies on a twin-turbo V-8, but now, it's backed by an e-motor for a total system output of 816 hp
The combined torque of the hybrid powerplant is also impressive - 1,047 lb-ft
However, the GT63 S E Performance pays the ultimate price. At over 4,600 pounds, it's much heavier than the heaviest 911
But that doesn't stop the Mercedes from blasting to 60 mph in 2.7 seconds
The GT63 PHEV is also capable of driving almost 8.1 miles on electric power alone
While you can charge the 6.1 kWh battery through an AC charger, it's best to let the car recuperate lost energy while driving
The AMG GT63 interior is heavily-digitalized and features a 2+2 layout like in the AMG SL
The FR layout and hatchback tailgate make the AMG GT63 the most practical coupe. It boasts 19.85 cubic feet of cargo space
Official pricing for the AMG GT63 S E Performance is expected to be around the $200,000

How Lamborghini’s V8 Hybrid System Differs From Porsche’s T-Hybrid
Lamborghini and Porsche have their own unique take on the performance hybrid formula
With the Temerario, Lamborghini enters a new era of hybridization
This is thanks to a newly developed 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 and three e-motors
This V8 has a flat-plane crankshaft and is developed in-house by Lamborghini
Among the three e-motors, two of them are placed on the front axle and a third is mounted at the rear
A 3.8 kWh battery pack powers the motors, and can allow EV-only driving for about 6 miles
The Temerario, being a PHEV, can be plug-in externally to charge the battery pack
Porsche's new hybrid system, called the T-Hybrid, is considered mild hybrid.
At the center of this hybrid system is a single turbo flat-six. The 2025 911 Carrera GTS comes with a 3.6-liter flat-six
There's another e-motor in the 8-speed PDK, adding 54 hp to the mix. Total, the power output churned out by the system is 532 hp
Unlike the Temerario, the 911 Carrera GTS can't run on all-electric propulsion. The e-motor is powered by a dinky 1.9kWh battery pack
So, which hybrid solution is better? Swipe up to find out!

Is The 911 Turbo S Really Worth The Premium Over A 992.1 Turbo?
Can the 68-horsepower difference justify a $33,000+ difference?
Well, that's what we're about to find out as we stack the 992.1 Turbo Vs. its more powerful Turbo S variant
The Turbo S is marginally quicker in real life, sprinting to 60 mph in as little as 2.1 seconds (with the Lightweight package)
The regular 992 Turbo's 572 horsepower is good for a 2.5-second 0-60 mph time
Under the skin, the 992 Turbo and Turbo S feature very minor differences
The 3.75-liter flat-six is virtually identical in the Turbo and Turbo S models
However, different software and slightly bigger turbine wheels make the difference in horsepower
The 992 Turbo features 59mm turbochargers
While the Turbo S turbochargers feature 61 mm turbine wheels
The upcoming 992.2 Turbo will feature a more powerful version of the T-Hybrid system
The 992.2 Turbo S has a predicted power rating of around 710 horsepower

Transform Your 992: A Closer Look At 4 Top-Rated Aero Kits For The 911
Porsche offers an aero kit for the 992 Carrera that is reasonably-priced
It includes revisions to the front and rear aprons, and most importantly, a taller rear wing
DMC offers a simple solutiion - a fixed rear wing, similar to what the Porsche aero package offers
The DMC rear wing is a simple plug-and-play for most 992 Carrera models, except the GTS
Techart Aero Kit II is the most comprehensive 992 Carrera aero kit
It features an 8-piece set, made entirely of forged carbon-fiber
Smaller elements of the Techart kit, like the air-intake frames, are carbon-coated
Dundon Motorsport's Valkyrie aero kit has been developed ,specifically for on-track domination
A new swan-neck rear wing contributes to 1,500 lbs of downforce at 160 mph - almost 1,000 more than the stock car
The Valkyrie body kit also features more aggressive, carbon-fiber dive planes, along with a revised front apron

Three Reasons Why The Base Model 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera Is All You Need
While the T-Hybrid equipped 911 Carrera GTS is more techy, the regular Carrera is all the 911 you need
Even for an entry level car, the 2025 911 Carrera is quite expensive, starting at $122,000
The base 911 is quite the potent sports car, thanks to a massaged 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six pushing out 388 hp, 9 more than the outgoing Carrera
The slight increase in power makes the 2025 911 Carrera a tenth of a second quicker to 60 mph: 3.7 seconds. Top speed is rated at an astounding 183 mph
You can do some laps in a 911 Carrera. For the 2025, it gets larger brakes with six-piston brakes.
Also, the base 911 Carrera is lighter than the hybrid GTS, which means it can corner more efficiently
For the 2025 model year, Porsche updated the front bumpers and the LED lights, which now comes with Matrix LEDs as standard
You can opt for these optional HD Matrix LEDs if you'd want, for $2,530
Stepping inside, there are some major changes, including a 12.6-inch fully digital driver's display and a regular start/stop button instead of a LeMans-style knob

Can We Expect More Porsche Models To Pack An E-Turbo?
The 2025 911 Carrera GTS debuts Porsche's new T-Hybrid system, coupling a new 3.6-liter flat-six with an e-turbo and an additional e-motor in the PDK for added boost.
The result is 532 horses and 449 lb-ft of torque, a generous 59 hp and 29 lb-ft boost over the outgoing 992.1 911 GTS
Instead of two turbos, Porsche added just one big turbocharger with a dinky e-motor inside it
This e-motor cuts turbo lag and delivers instant power delivery similar to a nat-asp engine
But that's not it. There's another e-motor, a more powerful one, between the 8-speed PDK and the flat-six. It puts down 54 hp and draws power from a 1.9 kWh battery pack
While the whole T-Hybrid system with the e-turbo sounds cool, there are concerns about complications and unreliability in the longer run
For the time being, this unusual mild hybrid tech is limited to the high-end 911 models only
But in the future, we could witness it passing down to the other pure ICE models of the Panamera and the Cayenne
Sadly, the upcoming 718 Cayman/Boxster successor isn't getting this unique hybrid technology since it's going the EV route
If Porsche chooses to incorporate the e-turbo technology into the Panamera and the Cayenne, it has to make some changes in the engine bay to fit the e-turbo
