T-Hybrid Generation

The 992.2 is the first 911 generation to carry a high-voltage electrical system, and Porsche's engineers arrived at the shortest possible route to it. Unveiled on 28 May 2024 alongside the revived Carrera, the debut model was the Carrera GTS with the T-Hybrid system: a 3.6-litre boxer with a single electrically assisted exhaust-gas turbocharger, a permanent-magnet synchronous motor buried inside the eight-speed PDK, and a 1.9 kWh, 400-volt battery no bigger than a conventional starter battery. The motor spins the turbo to speed before the exhaust gas arrives, so boost is instant — full system torque of 610 Nm is on tap below 2,000 rpm. Unlike a plug-in hybrid, the battery is never drained for propulsion; it is there to recover energy and to fill gaps. Porsche cites a weight penalty of just 50 kg over the outgoing GTS, against roughly eight times that for a typical PHEV.

The Carrera line was re-cut around the new powertrain. The base 992.2 Carrera keeps a 2,981 cc twin-turbo six — now with the old GTS turbochargers and Turbo-type intercooling for 394 PS — while the long-absent Carrera S returned in January 2025 with 480 PS, closing the gap to the old 992.1 GTS. All-wheel drive came back in July 2025 with the 473 hp Carrera 4S Coupé and Cabriolet and the Targa 4S, bringing the AWD count to six. There is deliberately no base Carrera 4: Porsche states the standard Carrera is not offered with all-wheel drive. The Turbo S followed at IAA Munich in September 2025, taking the T-Hybrid to its extreme with two eTurbos, 711 PS, 322 km/h and a 7:03.92 Nürburgring Nordschleife lap — about 14 seconds quicker than the 992.1 car despite carrying 85 kg more.
