The Porsche 911 is a staple in the performance car market. I mean, how many vehicles can boast an evolution from a sporty version of a sensible “people’s car” to a razor-sharp, world-class supercar? Well, the 911 isn’t done evolving and the next step seems wild. Love it or hate it, the 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Hybrid takes the storied nameplate to high-voltage heights. 

The 2025 Porsche 911 GTS Hybrid is a radical evolution for the model, but we don’t care about that

No. We care about the latest development in the iconic Porsche model pushing it to new heights of performance. After all, it’s a 911. The 911 Turbo S is one of the quickest gas-powered supercars on the market. And yes, it’s a supercar. I look forward to your vehement dissent on Reddit. The 911 GT3 RS is one of the gold standards of line-blurring, street-legal race cars.

And now, the 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Hybrid is one of the most evolutionary changes in the nameplate since the oft-hated 996’s water-cooled M96 flat-six retired the air-cooled 911 for good. The new 992.2 model adds a T-Hybrid, or Turbo Hybrid, platform. Consequently, rather than a pulse-pounding 3.6L flat-six doing all the lifting itself, Porsche added a library of electrical goodies. 

For instance, the Carrera GTS Hybrid now features an electronically-boosted turbocharger. The Borg-Warner turbo conceals an electric motor with the better part of 30 horsepower, which mitigates lag at low RPMs. Interestingly enough, the F1-inspired platform cannibalizes what would normally be purged via wastegate and harvests the pressure for extra power. Clever 911, indeed. 

In addition to the high-voltage turbo setup, the 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Hybrid boasts an eight-speed PDK dual-clutch gearbox with a supportive electric generator/motor combination. The resultant bump in power is about 54 ponies, taking the GTS Hybrid up to 533 horsepower from only 478.

Consequently, we expect the 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Hybrid to hit 60 mph in around 2.7 seconds or quicker. That will put the new 911 Hybrid in the same realm as the comparably blunt and workaday Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray. However, if my track experiences with the E-Ray are any indication, the 911 Hybrid might have its hands full with the electrified ‘Vette.
