Porsche recently unveiled its first-ever production hybrid 911, the 992.2 GTS

The performance difference between the new 2025 992.2 911 Carrera GTS and the older 992.1 911 Turbo isn't significant

The 992.2 911 Carrera GTS debuts the T-Hybrid system, incorporating a new 3.6-liter mono-turbo flat-six and an e-motor in the 8-speed PDK

As a result, the hybrid powertrain pushes out 532 horsepower and 449 pound-feet of torque

0-60 mph comes at 2.9 seconds and top speed is limited to 194 mph

The 992.1 911 Turbo uses the good ol' pure ICE power, thanks to a twin-turbo 3.7-liter flat-six. It churns out 572 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque

Being more potent, it's quicker to 60 mph; it takes only 2.7 seconds. Top speed is rated at 199 mph

As for driving dynamics, the new 911 Carrera GTS Hybrid isn't any slouch, and its e-turbo makes sure you're always on boost

The 911 Turbo, on the other hand, feels laggy in the lower revs, even with two turbos

The 2025 911 Carrera GTS isn't available readily and you may have to wait for a while depending on the backlog of orders

On the other hand, the 992.1 911 Turbo could be readily available at your nearest Porsche dealership

Bugatti's Tourbillon is the spicy replacement to the long-serving Chiron hypercar. It's the first hybridized Bugatti

The Rimac Nevera is Mate Rimac's firstborn, at least in the car world. It's an all-electric hypercar

The Tourbillon has the classic Bugatti silhouette with the horse-shoe grille, Chiron-like headlights, dihedral doors

The rear end is inspired from the Bugatti La Voiture Noire

The Nevera is unlike anything you've seen. Its design is brand new and it looks sportier than the Tourbillon.

However, from some angles, it could remind you of a McLaren 570S

The Tourbillon, like its predecessors, it oozing luxury inside, but the clock-inspired instrumentation steals the show

The Nevera's cabin is beautiful and luxurious as well, but not quite as otherworldly as the Bugatti.

There are a trio of displays inside, including one for the passenger

Bugatti's latest and greatest hypercar features an 8.3-liter nat-asp V16 with three e-motors

Together they churn out 1,775 hp and 1,691 lb-ft of torque

The Nevera is an all-electric hypercar featuring four electric motors, each on the wheels

The total power produced ia 1,813 hp and 1,741 lb-ft of torque

Porsche issued a press release about a new Nürburgring record in a upcoming top-end variant of the Panamera

Porsche Did Not Specify The Trim, But Has Now Confirmed It As The Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid

Porsche Test Driver Lars Kern Set A Record Time Of 7:24.17 Minutes For Luxury Cars With Combustion Engines And Hybrids

This New Panamera Is 5.0 Seconds Quicker Than The Last Model

Unlike The Street Version, This Pre-Production Unit Was Equipped With Bucket Seats And Protective Roll Cage

The Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Has A Combined System Output Of 771 horsepower

A Couple Of Months Ago Veteran 2-Time WRC Driver, Walter Röhrl Got Behind The Wheel Of The Panamera E-Hybrid

This Drive Took Place In The Picturesque Austrian Town Of Zell am See

He Was Impressed With The Panamera's Active Ride Suspension

The Panamera's Active Suspension Not Only Responds To The Road Conditions, It Actively Varies Damper Pressure As Well

This System Can Run Thanks To The Hybrid Panamera's High Voltage 400V Battery

The Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Costs $226,500 And Will Hit U.S. Dealerships In Late 2025.

The 2025 Porsche 911 GTS, with its T-Hybrid powertrain, is a new perspective on hybrid-tech

The brand new 3.6-liter turbo flat-six and an e-motor produce a combined 532 hp and 449 lb-ft of torque

However, since the 2025 911 Carrera GTS is a mild hybrid, Porsche doesn't offer the Acid Green accents associated with its PHEVs

Porsche applied the Acid Green accents for the first time in the 2010 918 Spyder concept

Since then, only the PHEV Porsches, like the Cayenne and the Panamera E-Hybrid models, come with Acid Green accents by default

In the case of the 2025 911 Carrera GTS, it features a Turbo-hybrid for performance enhancement rather than efficiency

So, to keep the E-Hybrid distinctive from the mid hybrid 911, Porsche opted out the use of Acid Green accents

But don't worry. Porsche offers the Acid Green color as an exterior color, from its range of PTS (Paint to sample colors)

It will cost you no less than $14,190 for this rather shouty color

Porsche recently unveiled its first-ever production hybrid the 2025 911 Carrera GTS

It features Porsche's T-Hybrid tech which is different from their E-Hybrids

The T-Hybrid system incorporates an e-motor inside the turbocharger which helps spool it faster in the lower rev range

As a result, the 2025 Carrera GTS should feel more responsive with instantaneous throttle response

There's another e-motor inside the gearbox that produces 54 hp and is powered by a tiny 1.9 kWh battery pack

E-Hybrids meanwhile are typical PHEVs with their own set of twists

Both the Cayenne SUV and the Panamera sedan features the E-Hybrid technology

E-Hybrids pack a larger battery pack than a mild hybrids and it allows electric-only driving for short distances

The battery packs inside PHEVs can be charged externally via a charging cable, unlike mild hybrids

The 2025 BMW M5 debuts with a new 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 and an electric motor. Together, the setup produces 717 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque

Surely, the power figures are pretty impressive, but the 2025 BMW M5 weighs 5,390 pounds, which is about a 1,000-pound more than the previous M5 Competition

For some context, the 2025 BMW M5 is even heavier than the Tesla Model X Plaid which weighs 5,248 lbs!

The new M5 is even heavier than the Ford F150 XL, which weighs 5,122 lbs

The increase in curb weight is mainly due to the addition of the 14.8 kWh battery pack, the e-motor, all the wiring and other components

For the first time, the M5 can be driven around town without firing the gas engine for about 25 miles!

However the increase in efficiency and increased hybrid power could cost the M5 a more dull driving dynamics.

It can hit 60 mph in 3.5 seconds but is two-tenths of a second slower than the previous M5 Competition

The 2025 Porsche Panamera Turbo E-Hybrid is a strong M5 competitor and is also heavy, but not as much as the Bemmer at 5,302 pounds

Similar to the M5, the Panamera Turbo E-Hybrid features a twin-turbo V8 with an e-motor, but the V8 is slightly compact at 4.0 liters.

With a total combined output of 670 hp and 686 lb-ft of torque, the electrified Panamera Turbo can sprint to 60 mph in 3 seconds

Weighing 88 fewer pounds than the 2025 BMW M5, the Panamera Turbo E-Hybrid packs a larger 21.8 kWh battery

The battery pack offers about 30 miles of electric-only driving, which is better than the M5.

Porsche has managed to insert a bigger battery yet keep the curb weight under check

The 2025 992.2 911 Carrera GTS is the first production hybrid 911

It's powered by a new 3.6-liter single-turbo flat-six and an e-motor, generating a healthy 532 hp and 449 lb-ft of torque

Porsche calls the hybrid system "T-Hybrid", which basically indicates a turbocharger with a e-motor, helping it to spool up without the exhaust gas

A separate electric-motor placed in the 8-speed PDK is powered by a compact 1.9 kWh battery pack

The 2025 Carrera GTS is like the trial pack before the true king of speed drops, the 992.2 911 Turbo S

Since the Carrera GTS features a larger displacement mill for 2025, we can expect the same with the forthcoming 911 Turbo S facelift

The estimated power figures of the 992.2 Turbo S could be around the 700 horsepower mark

Also, there's a concern of increased weight affecting the 0-60 mph time of the 992.2 Turbo S

The facelifted Carrera GTS gets to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds, which is half a second quicker than before

So, you could expect the upcoming Turbo S to deliver a sub-2-second 0-60 mph

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

This is the Porsche Mission X concept all-electric concept

Unveiled in 2023, its a showcase of Porsche's next flagship hypercar

But we wonder if it could take inspiration from Bugatti's recently unveiled Tourbillion

The Bugatti Tourbillon is the most potent hybrid under the VW belt with 1,775 hp

The advent of the Tourbillon has raised the expectations of the upcoming 918 Spyder replacement

The 918 Spyder, with its 4.6-liter V8 and two e-motors, produces 887 hp and 944 lb-ft of torque

The 918 Spyder sports a useable 6.8 kWh battery pack, good for up to 12 miles on electric propulsion

With the Tourbillon, Bugatti fits a large 25 kWh battery pack, which is estimated to deliver 37 miles on EV mode

With such engineering excellence in mind, could Porsche be developing an internal combustion engine, like a V10, or a V8?

Coupled with the highly efficient and equally potent e-motors of the Tourbillon, the 918 successor could be the most potent Porsche of all time

The Mission X concept from 2023 sheds light on what to expect from the 918 Spyder successor, both from design and technology standpoints

However, unlike the 918 Spyder, the Mission X concept is an electric hypercar, with a power-to-weight ratio of 1 hp per 2.2 pounds

Ferrari and McLaren are allegedly developing the LaFerrari and P1 successors and they are supposed to be hybrids

We can't rule out the possibility that the 918 Spyder successor is going to be an EV

But if McLaren and Ferrari are developing hybrid hypercars, Porsche could eventually go that route as well

Porsche's Acid Green (PTS Color Code: 2M8) is synonymous with its plug-in hybrid models

To understand the significance of acid green, we need to look at how this association came to be

Ferdinand Porsche designed the brand's first hybrid: Semper Vivus, in 1900

A 100 years later, Porsche even built a 911 GT3 R hybrid race car

The first production Porsche with hybrid tech was the 2010 Cayenne S Hybrid

But early Porsche hybrids had limited all-electric range

Around the same time, Porsche was developing its first-ever plug-in hybrid supercar, the 918 Spyder

Acid Green, first used on the 2010 Porsche 918 Spyder concept, became a visual cue for Porsche’s hybrid technology

The limited-run 2012 911 Turbo S Edition 918 featured Acid Green accents

Despite being a gas-powered model, it was offered to those customers who had a 918 on order

The 2013 Porsche 918 Spyder hybrid heavily used Acid Green accents throughout its design

The Panamera E-Hybrid introduced in 2013 had a vastly better range and adopted the acid-green accents from the 918

Today, Acid Green accents are prominent on Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid and Panamera E-Hybrid models

With Porsche’s Paint To Sample option, you can also paint the entire car in acid green for $14,190.
