Unveiling of the 2025 Porsche 911 Hybrid and Its Prices

Porsche is known for making significant updates to its cars, and the latest facelift of the 992-chassis 911 is no exception. The big news for 2025 is the introduction of a hybrid model. The new Carrera GTS combines the iconic rear-mounted flat-six engine with an electric motor and an electric turbocharger, delivering a total of 532 horsepower and 449 pound-feet of torque. This model is expected to be available before the year ends.

The Carrera GTS now features a new 3.6-liter flat-six engine, replacing the older 3.0-liter unit (which will still be available in other 911 models). This new engine alone produces 478 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, a slight increase from the previous GTS engine. The hybrid system eliminates the need for a twin-turbo setup, instead opting for a single electric turbocharger. This turbocharger, powered by an 11-kW (14.7-hp) motor, provides rapid response and significantly reduces turbo lag while also recharging the 400-volt battery.

A 32.6-hp traction motor is positioned between the flat-six engine and the eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, powered by a small 1.9-kWh battery located under the front hood, where the 12-volt battery usually sits. The 12-volt battery is relocated to a compartment behind the rear parcel shelf. This powertrain enhances performance across the rev range while maintaining an optimal air-fuel ratio of 14.7:1 almost all the time.

Overall, the new Carrera GTS is 103 pounds heavier than its predecessor, partly due to additional standard equipment like rear-wheel steering, but the increased power more than compensates for the added weight. It’s the first 911 Carrera model to achieve a sub-3-second 0-60 mph time, clocking in at 2.9 seconds.

In addition to the T-Hybrid system, the Carrera GTS features new active aerodynamic flaps at the front for improved cooling without increasing drag. The front and rear fascias have been updated, new wheel options are available, and the rear tires are now 10 mm wider, measuring 315/30ZR21, while the front tires remain at 245/35ZR20. Inside, the most notable change is the introduction of an all-digital gauge cluster, replacing the analog tachometer, though the digital cluster still prominently displays the tachometer as befits a 911.

The base Carrera model also receives updates for 2025, including turbos and intercoolers from the previous GTS and Turbo models, resulting in a nine-horsepower increase, though torque remains at 331 lb-ft. The same facelift updates apply, but the base Carrera’s fascias differ from the GTS and do not include the active cooling flaps.

For 2025, only the base Carrera and Carrera GTS models have been facelifted, with more updates expected soon. The base Carrera will be available as a rear-wheel drive coupe or Cabriolet, while the GTS will be offered as a rear- or all-wheel drive coupe or Cabriolet, or as an all-wheel drive Targa. Turbo, Turbo S, and GT3 RS models will continue for 2025 as well.

Pricing for the updated models has increased, with the base Carrera rising from $116,050 to $122,095 and the GTS from $152,550 to $166,895. Porsche justifies these increases by highlighting the enhanced performance and additional standard equipment, particularly on the GTS.

The facelifted 992 Carreras are expected to arrive at dealerships this fall, with the Carrera GTS coming closer to the end of the year. The 992.2 range will soon expand with more models, both hybrid and non-hybrid.
