Porsche’s latest evolution has arrived: the new 911 Turbo S, pushing the iconic sports car closer than ever to true supercar territory. Following its mid-cycle refresh, now known as the 992.2, the 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S now features Porsche’s cutting-edge T-Hybrid system, first introduced on the 911 GTS.
While the GTS relied on a single turbo, the Turbo S doubles down with twin turbos, making it the most powerful production 911 to date. Just how potent is it? A staggering 701 horsepower—surpassing even the GT2 RS.
Double the Turbos, Maximum Power
With 701 horsepower, the new 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S packs 61 hp more than the pre-facelift 992.1 model—but the headline figure only tells part of the story. Its 3.6-liter flat-six engine, boosted by twin electric turbos, delivers an impressive 590 lb-ft of torque from 2,300 to 6,000 rpm, with peak power kicking in between 6,500 and 7,000 rpm.
Power is delivered to all four wheels, as with every 911 Turbo, through an eight-speed transmission paired with an integrated electric motor. This motor, along with the electric turbos, draws energy from a 1.9-kWh battery carried over from the 911 GTS T-Hybrid. The hybrid system adds 180 lbs, bringing the total weight to 3,829 lbs, but the performance gains more than make up for it:
-
0–60 mph in 2.4 seconds (0.2 seconds faster than the 992.1 Turbo S)
-
0–124 mph in 8.4 seconds (0.5 seconds quicker)
-
Top speed of 200 mph
-
Nürburgring lap time of 7:03.92 (~14 seconds faster than the pre-facelift Turbo S)
To match its blistering performance, the 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S comes standard with a Sport Exhaust System featuring lightweight titanium tips. The exhaust amplifies the engine’s roar, which has been tuned with asymmetrical timing to deliver what Porsche calls a “sharp, throaty” note.
A Chassis Tuned for Maximum Performance
The old adage that power means little without control certainly applies here. Porsche has upgraded the 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S to handle its newfound strength, focusing on brakes and tires to manage the extra power, torque, and speed. At the rear, 325/30 ZR21 tires—10 mm wider than those on the previous Turbo S—provide enhanced traction, while the front tires remain at 255/35 ZR20.
Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) come standard on the Turbo S, featuring a new pad compound inspired by the brand’s motorsport experience. The front rotors remain at 420 mm, the same as the 992.1, while the rear rotors grow by 20 mm to an impressive 410 mm—making them the largest ceramic composite brakes ever installed on a two-door Porsche.
The 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S chassis and suspension play a crucial role in its performance. It features an electro-hydraulically controlled dynamic chassis system that uses the 400-volt electrical architecture to reduce body movement, pitch, and roll during acceleration, cornering, and braking. This setup eliminates the need for traditional roll bars while maintaining comfort during everyday driving—and it also powers a rapid front-axle lift system.
No Rear Seats Here
Several visual cues set the 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S apart from the rest of the 911 lineup. True to Turbo tradition, the body is wider, with rear quarter panels featuring prominent air intakes. The rear end has been redesigned with new ventilation openings and square exhaust outlets, though oval pipes are available as an option.
The Turbonite finish appears on the badging, wheel center locks, and “Turbo S” lettering, as well as on the slats of the engine grille and window surrounds, offering a subtle nod for enthusiasts. Inside, the treatment continues on details like the instrument cluster and Sport Chrono stopwatch, tying the theme together.
The 911 Turbo S comes standard with just two seats, helping offset some of the weight added by the hybrid system—though buyers can opt to reinstall the rear seats at no extra cost. Up front, Porsche’s 18-way Sport Seats Plus feature memory functions and “Turbo S” embossing, combining comfort with a distinctly sporty flair.
Supercar Performance Comes with a Supercar Price
Arriving for the 2026 model year, the new 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S carries a premium. With increased power, cutting-edge technologies, and the added costs of today’s market, the coupe starts at $270,300, while the Cabriolet commands $284,300. That’s a notable jump from the 2025 Turbo S Coupe’s $238,700 MSRP. A non-S 911 Turbo is expected later, which could offer a slightly lower entry point, but don’t expect any Turbo-badged 911 to undercut a Corvette ZR1X.
Prices do not include a $2,350 destination and handling fee. Buyers can also choose from an extensive list of options, ranging from an exposed carbon-fiber roof to a variety of wheel designs and interior upholstery finishes.
The new 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S is slated to reach U.S. dealerships in Spring 2026.
