2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S Specs, Price, and Release Date: Full Breakdown

2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S Specs, Price, and Release Date: Full Breakdown

Last year, Porsche electrified the 911 Carrera GTS with its new T-Hybrid system, blending more power with lower emissions. Now, the crown jewel of the 911 lineup has gone hybrid too and the result is nothing short of revolutionary.

Debuted at the Munich Motor Show, the 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S (992.2) isn’t just an evolution. It’s a quantum leap forward in performance, technology, and engineering ambition.

With 701 horsepower, a 2.4-second 0–60 mph sprint, and a Nürburgring Nordschleife lap time 14 seconds faster than its predecessor, this is the fastest, most powerful road-going 911 ever built surpassing even the legendary GT2 RS.

The new Turbo S builds on the Carrera GTS’ T-Hybrid architecture, but takes it to another level:

• A 1.9-kWh, 400-volt lithium-ion battery housed in the front trunk (replacing the 12V battery location)
• An electric motor integrated between engine and PDK transmission
• Twin electric turbochargers the game-changer

Unlike traditional turbos, these feature electric motors on the turbo shafts, allowing near-instant spool-up and zero turbo lag. The electric drive also acts as a brake, harvesting excess energy which can either recharge the battery or boost the traction motor.

Porsche eliminated the wastegate entirely, relying on electronic control for precision boost management. While the electric turbo tech is shared with the GTS, the turbine and compressor wheels are slightly smaller, optimized for higher airflow and response.

Total output:

• 701 horsepower (61 hp more than before)
• 590 lb-ft of torque (unchanged, but now available from 2,300 to 6,000 rpm)

For the first time, the Turbo S outpowers the GT2 RS making it the most potent air-cooled-style 911 in history.

The chassis gets major upgrades:

• Latest Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) with 400-volt-powered active anti-roll bars for lightning-fast response
• Standard Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) with massive:
• 16.5-inch front discs

• 16.1-inch rear discs

New high-friction pad material for better fade resistance

A new sports exhaust system with titanium muffler and tips delivers a sharper, more aggressive note  essential for a car that still values sound.

To handle the extra power and hybrid weight bias, the Turbo S rolls on:

• Wider 325/30R21 rear tires (up from 315)
• 255/30R20 fronts (unchanged)

It also gains wider fenders a signature Turbo look carried through generations.

Aerodynamics have been refined:

• Active grille shutters for optimal cooling and drag reduction
• Active front diffuser working with a deployable front splitter and adaptive rear wing
• Up to 10% lower drag coefficient in efficiency mode

These changes help it slice through the air with surgical precision.

Visually, the 992.2 Turbo S stands out with:

• Turbonite gray-brown accents a new color exclusive to Turbo models
• New center-lock wheel design (standard on both coupe and cabriolet)
• Subtle badging and dark trim to emphasize its track-ready nature

And yes one new option might raise eyebrows: carbon-fiber wiper arms. Lighter, stiffer, and purely optional, they’re peak Porsche where even the wipers are engineered for performance.

The new Turbo S coupe now weighs 3,829 pounds180 lbs more than the outgoing model. Porsche admits this, but counters with results:

• 7:03.92 Nürburgring lap time 14 seconds faster than before
• Remarkably low weight gain considering the added hybrid hardware

For a hybrid supercar, that’s impressive discipline.

With great power comes a higher price tag:

• Turbo S Coupe: $272,650
• Turbo S Cabriolet: $286,650

That’s an increase of over $30,000 compared to the previous generation driven by inflation, tariffs, and the complexity of the new hybrid system.

And Porsche warns: tariffs could push prices even higher. As a brand that doesn’t build in the U.S., it’s especially vulnerable to trade policies a reality already reflected in recent price hikes.
