Porsche has officially unveiled the new 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S at the IAA Mobility Auto Show in Munich. Touted as the most powerful production 911 ever, it arrives with cutting-edge T-Hybrid technology, a redesigned powertrain, and a host of performance-oriented improvements.
Powertrain and Performance
The headline feature is the newly developed 3.6-litre twin-turbo flat-six T-Hybrid powertrain, which pushes the limits of Porsche engineering.
- Power output: 701 hp (up by 61 hp from the predecessor)
- Torque: 800 Nm

- Acceleration: 0–100 km/h in 2.5 seconds, 0–200 km/h in 8.4 seconds
