Key specifications include:

Torque rated at 800 Nm between 2300 and 6000 rpm

With these numbers, the 2026 Turbo S delivers more than unprecedented performance. It showcases Porsche’s ability to address the challenges of emissions standards while preserving the soul of the 911, pushing the icon confidently into the future.
Refined Design and Advanced Chassis Development
Despite introducing several upgrades, Porsche has preserved the classic identity of the 911 with precise lines and carefully crafted details. Key changes include:
Integrated headlights with DRL units.
Active air intakes in the front bumper to enhance aerodynamics.
A redesigned front diffuser and an adaptive rear wing that increase downforce while reducing drag by 10 percent.
The innovations go beyond exterior styling. The new model is equipped with an updated PDCC suspension system that now uses an electro hydraulic mechanism for quicker response, delivering sharper handling in corners and smoother comfort on daily drives. Braking performance has also been taken to the next level with massive carbon ceramic rotors measuring 16.5 inches at the front and 16.1 inches at the rear, paired with 10 piston calipers that feature aluminum heat shielding inserts for unmatched stopping power.
Power Versus Weight
One of the main challenges Porsche faced with the addition of the hybrid system was the weight increase of 82 kilograms, bringing the coupe’s total to 1736 kilograms. To counterbalance this, Porsche introduced lightweight solutions such as a titanium exhaust system that saves 7 kilograms, along with the option of carbon fiber windshield wiper arms.
Despite the added weight, agility remains uncompromised. The car is equipped with wider rear tires sized 325/30ZR-21 from Pirelli or Goodyear, ensuring exceptional grip and stability even at high speeds.
Pricing and Launch Details
The 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S Hybrid starts at 272,650 USD (1,001,307 AED) for the coupe, while the cabriolet is priced at 286,650 USD (1,052,722 AED). Both versions are set to arrive in showrooms next spring.
With this blend of price and performance, Porsche reinforces its reputation as one of the world’s leading names in luxury and speed, delivering a model that merges classic heritage with cutting edge technology to meet the desires of performance enthusiasts in the GCC and beyond.
