Can We Expect More Porsche Models To Pack An E-Turbo? - Storyboard

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
