The revised 992-generation 911 Turbo S adopts the Stuttgart manufacturer’s T-Hybrid powertrain, which made its debut on the 992.2 GTS. However, whereas the latter features a single electric exhaust gas turbocharger (eTurbo), the Turbo S’s 3.6-litre flat-six is equipped with an additional eTurbo. The GTS’s 1.9 kWh battery has been carried over to the flagship 911.

The updated 911 Turbo S’s electrified powertrain produces a peak power output of 523 kW, an increase of 45 kW over the 992.1 911 Turbo S’s 478 kW. Torque has remained untouched, with 800 N.m delivered to Porsche’s Traction Management (PTM) all-wheel-drive system via an eight-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission with integrated electric motor. However, it is worth noting that, compared to its 992.1 predecessor, the 992.2 iteration’s torque is available in a broader swathe of the rev band – 2 300 to 6 000 r/min versus 2 500 to 4 000 r/min.

Porsche claims the 992.2 911 Turbo S Coupé completes the obligatory 0-100 km/h sprint in 2.5 seconds, making it two-tenths of a second quicker to the one-tonne than the 992.1, which is one of the fastest accelerating cars ever tested by CAR magazine. In addition, it dispatches the 0-200 km/h dash in only 8.4 seconds, an improvement of 0.5 seconds over the 992.1. The top speed is rated at 322 km/h.

Stopping power is provided by Porsche’s Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) system, which features 420 mm discs up front and 410 mm (up 10 mm) items aft – making it the largest PCCB setup ever fitted to a two-door Porsche. The 992.2 911 Turbo S is fitted with 20-inch front and 21-inch rear alloy wheels, wrapped in 255/35- and 325/30-size tyres, respectively.
