2025 Porsche 911 revealed with all-new T-Hybrid GTS

This is it. The 2025 Porsche 911 hybrid, officially called the T-Hybrid. And first thing’s first, don’t worry, it still has a roaring flat-six engine. It just happens to receive boost from an e-turbo and e-motor resulting in more power. Some updates have also been made to the rest of the 911 lineup for 2025.

It’s not exactly a surprise that even the 911 had to switch to some form of electrification. And the first to arrive is the new 911 GTS. It debuts a 3.6-litre flat-six featuring an electric-assisted exhaust gas turbocharger and an electric motor assist system. Combined, the overall output stands at a whopping 398kW and 610Nm.

The new engine produces 357kW and 570Nm alone, which is plenty, but with the electronic assistance, 0-100km/h is possible in a claimed 3.0 seconds – that’s not far off a 911 Turbo from not that long ago. The package is mated to an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission with either rear- or four-wheel drive (4 GTS).

Thanks to the 1.9kWh battery running at 400V, the conventional air-conditioning compressor has been removed along with the belt drive and replaced with an electronic air-con system, to save space. Porsche hasn’t mentioned anything about potential weight savings, but due to the hybrid gear we’re going to assume the vehicle is heavier overall than the equivalent predecessor.

Rear-axle steering comes standard on the GTS, as well as Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control anti-roll technology, and sports suspension with adaptive dampers (PASM), with the ride height lowered by 10mm over the regular models. Buyers can opt for either a 19-/20- or 20-/21-inch wheel package, front and rear.

Elsewhere in the range, the entry 911 Carrera receives a revised 3.0-litre twin-turbo flat-six, welcoming the intercooler from the Turbo model, with power now standing at 290kW and torque rated at 450Nm. It can accelerate from 0-100km/h in 4.1 seconds, or 3.9 seconds with the Sport Chrono pack.

As a global thing, the new model is a two-seater cabin, but in Australia it comes standard as the existing 2+2 configuration. Although, buyers can opt to have the rear seats removed if preferred. There’s a new 12.6-inch fully digital instrument cluster as standard (a first for the 911), while infotainment is presented on a 10.9-inch touch-screen.

In Australia all variants come with the power steering plus package as a no-cost option, a surround-view camera, lane change assist, comfort access, digital radio, and a premium Bose sound system as standard.
