New 911 GTS with T-Hybrid technology for enhanced performance
Porsche has unveiled a major upgrade to the iconic 911, introducing the first-ever street-legal hybrid version in the 911 Carrera GTS. This new performance hybrid system, inspired by learnings derived from motorsport, enhances power and efficiency while keeping weight gain minimal.

The new 911 GTS is powered by a newly-developed 3.6-litre boxer engine combined with two electric motors, a single turbocharger and a compact high-voltage battery. The first electric motor sits in the turbocharger and acts as a generator, capable of generating up to 11 kW (15 PS) of electric power and instantaneously bringing the turbo up to speed for maximum efficiency.

The other electric motor is integrated into the car’s 8-speed PDK transmission, further supporting the boxer engine with extra drive torque of up to 150 Nm and a power boost of up to 40 kW. Both electric motors are coupled to a lightweight 1.9 kWh (gross content) battery. For an optimised overall weight, Porsche has also installed a lightweight lithium-ion battery for the 12 V on-board electrical system.

Even without electrical assistance, the boxer engine delivers 357 kW (485 PS) and 570 Nm of torque. In total, the system output on the new 911 GTS T-Hybrid is 398 kW (541 PS) and 610 Nm. The new 911 GTS T-Hybrid also sets a new benchmark for performance in the high-performance sports car segment, with a 0-100 km/h time of just 3.0 seconds and a top speed of 312 km/h.

Beyond the innovative powertrain upgrades, the new 911 GTS benefits from improved aerodynamics and suspension refinements. A sports suspension with a variable damper system (PASM) and a ride height lowered by 10 mm provide characteristic GTS handling. Rear-axle steering is now standard across the GTS range for greater stability and agility, while the Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) system is highly-integrated into the hybrid setup for enhanced handling.

The car also features active cooling air flaps and adaptive front diffusers that dynamically adjust airflow to balance efficiency and performance. These innovations, combined with newly designed wheels and an optional aerodynamic kit, optimize downforce and responsiveness.

Exterior refinements such as redesigned Matrix LED headlights, a revised front bumper and a more sculpted rear end, further reinforce the car’s iconic yet refreshed looks. The redesigned light strip with an integrated arc and ‘PORSCHE’ logo makes the rear end of the 911 appear deeper and wider. 911 Carrera GTS models also come standard with a GTS-specific sports exhaust system.

Inside, Porsche has fully digitized the 911’s cockpit, replacing the traditional “turn-key” with a push-start button, and the traditional dials with a 12.6-inch customizable digital instrument cluster. The Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system has been upgraded with deeper Apple CarPlay® integration, allowing users to control vehicle functions directly through the Apple ecosystem. A new wireless smartphone charging compartment, improved driver assistance features, and optional video streaming enhance overall convenience and connectivity.

The new 911 GTS T-Hybrid can be ordered now as a Coupé and Cabriolet with rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive in Thailand, with prices starting from THB 17,400,000. The 911 Targa 4 GTS is exclusively offered with all-wheel drive. All GTS model variants are equipped with Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) as standard.
