Porsche unveils most powerful production 911 to date

MANILA: Porsche has unveiled the 2026 911 Turbo S, the most powerful production version of the 911 to date.  

The latest range-topping version of the iconic sports car nameplate uses a twin-turbo 3.6-liter boxer engine combined with the German marque’s “T-Hybrid technology.” The result is a maximum output of 701 horsepower (hp) and 800 Newton-meters (Nm) of torque, which can chalk up to a zero to 100 kilometer per hour (kph) time of just 2.4 seconds. 

Per Porsche, its zero to 100 kph time is 0.2 seconds faster than the previous version. Moreover, the brand shared that the new model is around 14 seconds faster in the Nürburgring compared to its predecessor. 

Interestingly, the Stuttgart-based brand’s T-Hybrid is not new. In fact, it first appeared in the 911 Carrera GTS. However, Porsche did apply further improvements to the said system. The new model’s combustion component also received an additional electric exhaust gas turbocharger. Otherwise, it still uses the same 1.9-kilowatt-hour (kWh) high-voltage battery, eight-speed PDK transmission, electric motors, and all-wheel-drive system as the 911 Carrera GTS.

For its rear tires, the new 911’s rear set is a pair of 325/30 ZR 21 rubbers that are 10 millimeters (mm) wider compared to the previous car. Its Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) system also received new brake pads. 

Other noteworthy upgrades on the 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S include, but are not limited to, the following: 

• Active aerodynamic components
• Electro-hydraulically controlled Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control
• New Sport Exhaust System
• Turbonite interior finishings
• Carbon fiber trim inserts with Neodyme accents
• HD Matrix Design LED headlamps
• Optional rear seats (coupe)
• 18-way power adjustable Sport Seats Plus
• Porsche Active Suspension Management

For now, Porsche said that it will be releasing the new 911 Turbo S for the US market in 2026. There’s no word yet as to when they will reach Philippine shores.
