The Hybrid Porsche 911 Turbo S Is On It’s Way

Unless you have been living under a rock for the past few years (which is honestly fairly understandable at this point), you’ve likely noticed a tremendous move towards electric vehicles, hybrids, and other alternative energy sources in the automotive industry. This has been such a tremendous initiative across the board that some manufacturers have even committed to ditching the internal combustion engine entirely. One of these manufacturers is none other than Mercedes-Benz, who have committed to an entirely electric lineup of vehicles by the turn of the next decade.

It’s accurate to say that their counterparts from Stuttgart have a differing view, perhaps, of the future of the sports car. While their fully-electric Taycan has been well-received from day one, Porsche has shown absolutely no desire to abandon their beloved flat six any time soon. Seeing that the 911 is a hallowed marque with generations of rabid enthusiasts, but also looking to the future and understanding that some degree of electrification is inevitable, Porsche has been very measured and methodical when it comes to integrating hybrid technology into the 911.

It seems like this project is slowly coming to fruition, as new spy shots featuring the hybridized 911 Turbo S have now been uncovered. Here’s what we know so far about this hybrid Porsche.

Devil’s the Details

First things first – the hybrid certainly won’t appear until the current 992 generation gets a facelift in around a year or so. From the photos, it appears as though the hybrid 911 won’t appear all that different than its petrol sibling from the front. However, the rear clip clearly shows unique, squared-off dual exhausts, and a slightly-tweaked setup for the taillights. These may find their way into all 992.2 911s, or they may be exclusive to the hybrid models to subtly differentiate them from the internal-combustion models.

A Mild Hybrid

 It also appears that Porsche will fit the hybridized 911 with a mild hybrid system running at 400 volts, instead of a heavy plug-in hybrid system running at 800 volts like its fully electric cousin, the Taycan. This will enable Porsche engineers to keep the legendary driving characteristics of the 911 largely intact, without having to completely re-engineer a new chassis for the sports car to accommodate four electric motors and a heavy complement of batteries.

With all that said, there will still be a large increase in the weight of the hybrid version which will require substantial tuning of the spring rates, dampening, and body roll, among other suspension components. A video of this hybrid test mule hurtling itself around the Nurburgring shows the ride to be a little unsettled and squirrely, so it stands to reason that Porsche is focusing on squaring away their power plant before moving on to any of the other components.

Overall, though, this mild hybrid system means that rabid, gasoline-huffing 911 fans of old should fear not the development of this new-fangled 911. It’ll look as it should, and, once the engineering staff in Stuttgart lays their wrenches down for the last time, it will drive like one should, too.

911 Hybrid – Coming Soon?

Porsche has continued to be very tight-lipped about the development of the hybrid 911s, and understandably so; their commitment to engineering over all else dictates when the hybrid will see the light of day, not arbitrary schedules based on what’s fashionable in the auto industry now. There are a few things we know for sure, though: the end result will be a Porsche 911 through and through, and that is the best news anyone could deliver.

2024 Porsche 911 Turbo S Hybrid

During the company’s 2022 annual press conference, Porsche announced that the Porsche 911 Turbo S Hybrid will be available soon. They also stated at the conference that this hybrid is performance-based.

The 2024 911 hybrid is a high-end vehicle that ranks with the Ferrari 296 GTB and the McLaren Artura. Although it is a 2024 model, the prototypes have been made, and this sportscar has been severally tested. This Porsche 911 hybrid will be on sale beginning next year, 2024, after the sales of all trims of the standard pure-petrol 911 kick-off.

If you’re looking for what describes a usable sports car that is fun in every way, fast, and good for day-to-day driving, then the Porsche 911 is that car; the 2024 Turbo S Hybrid inclusive fits that description.

Features

A range of features come with this fancy sports car, one of which is the updated infotainment system. The suspension of this model is quite low, so it is likely to give a jiggly ride when moving over bumps, but thanks to the adjustable dampers in the Comfort setting, given that it is a sports car, it can overcome this flaw.

There will be an automatic gearbox and options like a rearview camera, park assists, and rear and front sensors. With the cruise control coning ss standard and an upgrade option of adaptive cruise control, braking, and acceleration should no longer be an issue as you can go as far as specifying the lane-keep and lane-change assists

A wet mode feature is a safety feature that would help ensure easy control of the model even when it rains. Other safety features include night vision, automatic emergency brakes, and multiple airbags.

The Exterior

With a body beautifully shaped like a modern sportscar and with air intakes incorporated with the bumper at the front, larger than the model from which it is made, the 2024 Turbo S Hybrid hits the road.

Unlike the existing Turbo S, the thin daytime running lights are absent in this model. Many argue that those lights will be substituted with the tacked-on side lights that appear in this model’s prototypes, but that will likely not happen. We must wait and see what Porsche has in store, to solve this argument.

The rear bumper of this model has been made different from the existing car; the number plate is now mounted higher up, and the twin exhausts are directly arranged closer together. This 2-door model offers an excellent back view that makes parking easier.

The Interior

There are no pictures yet of what the interior of the 2024 Turbo S Hybrid will look like, not even that of the prototype. However, we do not expect serious changes to the existing car. So here is what you should expect; A Sat Nav system sits in this model, the one that is as good as what you would find in executed saloon cars from the popular brands of Mercedes and BMW, and there is nothing short of three infotainment screens on the dashboard. These screens will be mostly used for all the car controls; however, you’d likely be getting nine physical buttons on the top of the dashboard.

The seats are gracefully covered in standard leather upholstery, and this leather can be extended to other parts of the interior if you like, but at an extra cost. And for the interior colors, there are a wide variety of options.

Space is not an issue with this model because there are loads of room for head, leg, and foot space, even if you were a giant. The trunk also has enough space to take a weekend’s baggage. The driver would benefit from this the most because even though there is a range of adjustments for all the seats, the steering wheel comes with adjustment controls too.

Performance and Engine

The 2024 Porsche 911 Turbo S Hybrid is designed with the same 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six cylinder engine built into the standard car. However, considering this new hybrid model, a 136hp electric motor with greater power is featured. This model produces power amounting to a total of between 700hp and 850hp. This model is built to be a fast and powerful one.

This new hybrid is heavier than the standard Porsche 911 Turbo S, but it is likely to match and beat the standard car’s record on speed. The standard vehicle has an impressive record of going from 0 to 60mph in just 2.8 seconds. A good note has been put in the customer review section as regards the standard model. For this, we expect the new model to have better reviews and to be better than alternatives that come from Ferrari, Mercedes, and even McLaren.

Pricing

Judging from all that has been said about the 2024 Porsche 911 Turbo S Hybrid, and from the current price of the existing standard car, you would agree with us that this model is going to be expensive, even though nothing has been released in regards to the pricing information from Porsche. Pricing is expected to kick off from £175 000, although this will vary from place to place. All Porsche cars come with a decent three-year/unlimited mileage warranty, and this hybrid is not left out.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • It’s a bigger and better car compared to the standard
  • It is good for daily use
  • Its performance is great
  • Its cornering ability is quite impressive

Cons

  • It is quite expensive, and the option available adds to this
  • It may be tiring to use the steering when the speed is slow because the steering wheel is quite heavy

The back seats are not suited for adults to sit for a long drive

Conclusion

If you are big on sports cars but have not gotten one because the ideal sports car isn’t fit for daily driving in town, then you are lucky because the 2024 Porsche 911 Turbo S is just for you. It is quite expensive, but it is worth it from the exterior to the quality of the interior and to the fact that it is comfortable for children, especially the rear seat. There is also enough space for a trip’s baggage.

This model is much faster than the standard model it would replace, and on top of that, it is comfortable and useable. Porsche’s 911 mission statement remains that this model aims to be known on the market as the most rewarding driver’s car.

Porsche 911 Turbo S Doesn’t Care About Lady Winter, Rides Custom on Aerodiscs

Much of North America might have seen one of the most frightful Christmas holidays of recent years, but that does not mean that lady Winter touched all corners of the United States.

Even in December, there are still southern (Cali) places where the temperature is well above freezing levels. As such, can anyone condemn us for sharing summer-like visions of Porsche 911 Turbo S sports cars dwelling right beside the ocean and its alluring beaches?

Hopefully, not too many good folks, as we have the peeps over at performance wheel specialist AL13 Wheels Design + Technik ready for yet another custom Porsche highlight reel, this time of the 992-series 911 Turbo S variety. And it is one for the ages, both in background and customization and personalization ideas.

As far as we can tell, this is another of those feisty RDB LA builds, although this time around, the aftermarket wheel specialist did not bother (too much) with the traditional social media shoutout toward the tuning venue. No worries, we have seen enough of their outrageous work – including 911 Turbos wrapped in minty green and with one side of the wheels in black while the other had opposing white attire.

Plus, this 992-series Porsche 911 Turbo S is unconventional from a different standpoint even if it is still related to the custom work done on the wheels. So, the body has a stunningly contrasting yet subtle feel thanks to a tame body shade and glossy black aerodynamic bits and pieces. Plus, the Turbo S has been naturally lowered to better fit the ‘outrageous’ AL13 C020-109R monoblock Aerodisc aftermarket wheels dressed up in a gloss polished finish.

By the way, the Carbon Aero Kit splashed on top of the OEM Porsche 911 Turbo S body was created by a little outlet called 9/Design, an offshoot of 1016Industries and the new “home of the world’s finest 100% carbon Porsche components.” Apparently, the carbon aero program can also modify the components in weave or forged carbon fiber if you need to further stand out in the 992-series crowd.

But enough with this 911. Just in case that is not your Porsche Turbo S cup of tea, the rivaling folks over at AG Luxury have a Satin Black alternative in the form of the Porsche 992 Turbo S x AGL43 SPEC3 prepared by their partners over at California Wheels. The forged aftermarket wheels have a Matte Brushed Grigio finish, plus Matte Polished lips, and chrome hardware to bode well for the rest of the custom body treatment.

And, as a quick reminder, the 992 series of the iconic Porsche 911 was introduced in late 2018. The flagship Turbo S, meanwhile, appeared almost two years ago (March 2020). It sported a twin-turbocharged 3.7-liter flat-six mill that was good for 641 hp and 800 Nm (590 lb-ft), which is more than enough to hit 62 mph (100 kph) in as little as just 2.4 seconds!

This Pristine Porsche 911 Turbo S Just Sold for a Record $1.3 Million at Auction

It’s the highest price ever paid for a 964 Turbo on Bring a Trailer.

As car collectors continue to revel in ‘90s nostalgia, the most iconic rides of the decade are spiking in value. Case in point: a Porsche 911 Turbo S 3.6 from 1994 just sold for nearly $1.3 million on Bring a Trailer.

The online auction, which wrapped up on Friday, December 9, garnered a total of 33 bids that pushed the final hammer price to $1.27 million. It’s the most ever paid for a 964 Turbo on BaT. One look at the classic ride and the seven figures make perfect sense.

The 3.6-liter turbocharged 964 was introduced in January 1993 and offered through the 1994 model year. After roughly 1,400 examples had been sold, Porsche decided to upgrade 93 with the Turbo S package. Of that, only 17 were “Package” cars like this particular rarity. Destined for North America, all 17 paired the standard Turbo bodywork with a distinctive front splitter, asymmetrical side air intakes, a whale tail, quad exhaust tips and 18-inch Speedline alloy wheels.

Under the hood, the 3.6-liter flat-6 was bolstered with the X88 Turbo S power kit. Essentially, the folks at Stuttgart added modified cylinder heads and camshafts, larger-capacity fuel injectors and a bigger turbocharger and intercooler. The mill is mated to a five-speed manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential. All up, the engine can churn out 380 horsepower and 384 ft lbs of torque.

This example is finished in black over matching leather upholstery. For a little contrast, the “Turbo S” on the floor mats is embroidered in cherry red while the shift knob and parking brake are dark rosewood. Other highlights include a power-operated sunroof, front sports seats with electric height adjustment and a Porsche cassette stereo with a trunk-mounted six-disc CD changer.

To top it off, the four-wheeler has just 8,700 miles on the dial. As a result, it was presented in pristine condition. There was also a little work performed on the car in 2022, which included the installation of new engine gaskets, an airbag module, door speakers and engine gaskets.

Worth $1.3 million? Apparently so.

Mansory Can Maim Your Porsche 911 Turbo and Turbo S in Exchange for Many Benjamins

While Porsche is putting together the final touches on the facelifted 992, Mansory has only recently met the 911 Turbo and 911 Turbo S. And you know what they did to them, don’t you?

Actually, you may want to make that ‘what they will do’ instead of ‘did,’ because we are in the teasing phase of the project, which includes two exterior shots of the 992 generation Porsche 911 Turbo S.

Far from being a pretty proposal, though that was expected since we’re talking about Mansory, the sports model turned super in the hands of the Zuffenhausen brand has a brash body kit, consisting of many carbon fiber add-ons that should fly off the controversial tuner’s shelves in no time after becoming available.

The front bumper is still the OEM piece, though it now has a more pronounced apron, with side blades, and side air intake surrounds. The front hood is also new, and was made of the same lightweight material, as are the side mirror casings, side skirts, and pieces attached to the rear intakes that feed air to the engine. At the back, it has even more carbon fiber, including that new diffuser, additional trim, and a large wing that otherwise doesn’t look half bad.

Porsche’s name below the light strip joining the taillights together has been replaced by Mansory’s, and it doesn’t have a crest anymore at the front. The Turbo S logo further reveals this car’s naughty nature, and the wheels, which seem to be about the same size as the standard ones, contribute to the makeover. We can also see new tailpipes integrated into the diffuser, so this 911 Turbo S might have a sports exhaust system, which would make it a bit punchier. However, Mansory doesn’t always provide a power boost for its projects, so it could go either way.

Features

Over the years, Techart consumers globally have had a nearly limitless range of selections for customizing and improving their Porsche automobiles. There are Lightweight components as well as optimized aerodynamics which characterize the impressive exterior of the Techart Turbo S Cabriolet. They infused an expressive carbon fiber look into the wing above the racing-inspired rear as a tribute to past decades.

Aside from the exclusive turbo cabriolet bundle – containing an aerodynamic pack, a sports exhaust system owned by TechArt, and Techart Formulated VI forged wheels with inclusive execution, interior advancement is readily accessible for the 911 Turbo and 911 Turbo S classifications.

Large air inlets are also provided to guarantee optimized airflow to the intercoolers. The tuner notes that the front track is 1.2 inches wider than the standard car.

Interior

The 992-turbo s cabriolet is a significant stride forward in room expanse and sophistication over its antecedents, bringing in the modern 911 and GT car as an outing and sports car. For its interior, Techart has used Alcantara, leather, and heritage fabrics inspired by conventional motorsport materials yet underlines the high standards of individuality and sportiness. The Techart interior manufactory method is certain to leave no customer wish or want unfulfilled.

Power and Performance

The Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet and Turbo S Cabriolet share the same 3.8-liter, twin-turbo six-cylinder engine. Both models channel power to all four wheels via an eight-speed PDK.

Parts for this car have always been abundant and within reach even beyond Porsche’s vast dealers and service web, so maintaining this family of 911 is certainly not difficult.

Cons

The price range is on the high side, and maintenance and servicing at the main dealers are generally quite expensive. It is a performance car with a highly stressed drivetrain and the specialist care it demands.

Also, this automobile’s design has radiators that cool the engine, and the air conditioners for the condenser are quite low for the bumper at the front. The design’s position and open vent nature make them susceptible to stone impacts, and the build-up of debris and dirt is stuck close to the radiators’ side.

Conclusion
