The lightweight and powerful T-Hybrid system is equipped with an updated electric exhaust turbocharger.

In addition, for the new 911 Carrera GTS model, Porsche engineers used the knowledge gained from motorsport as the basis for designing the hybrid system.
Frank Moser, Vice President Model Lines 911 and 718, said that they developed and tested various ideas to come up with a hybrid system that suits the 911.
“The result is a unique drive that fits the overall concept of the 911 and significantly improves its performance,” he explained, in the same official statement.
In terms of performance, the Porsche 911 hybrid uses the latest 3.6-liter boxer engine, which is combined with the T-Hybrid system and an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission system.
This configuration makes the car capable of producing 541 hp and 610 Nm of torque for the GTS type.
Meanwhile, the Carrera variant features a 3.0-liter engine combined with a twin-turbocharger engine capable of producing 394 hp and 450 Nm of torque.
