701 horsepower in everyday life, the 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S (992.2) hybrid unveiled

자동차 산업이 전기차의 혁신으로 급변하고 있는 요즘, 여전히 '비교할 수 없는' 내연기관 슈퍼카가 존재합니다. 바로 포르쉐 911 터보 S로, 일상적인 주행의 편안함과 극한의 트랙 성능을 모두 만족시키는 모델입니다. 2026년 페이스리프트 모델(992.2)로 돌아온 이 터보 S는 포르쉐의 혁신적인 T-하이브리드 기술 덕분에 더욱 강력해졌습니다. 이제 구체적인 방법을 아래에서 확인해보도록 하겠습니다.

In an era where electric vehicles are fiercely changing the standards of performance, there still exists an internal combustion supercar that is referred to as ‘beyond comparison.’ That is the Porsche 911 Turbo S, which satisfies both the comfort of daily driving and the extreme performance on the track. The new Turbo S returns as the 2026 facelift model (992.2) and has become even more powerful with Porsche’s innovative T-hybrid technology. We will explore everything about this beast, which stands at the pinnacle of engineering evolution, beyond just a luxury item.

The Heart of T-Hybrid: 701 Horsepower, 0-100 km/h in 2.5 Seconds

The core of the new 911 Turbo S is the newly developed 3.6-liter T-hybrid horizontally opposed 6-cylinder boxer engine. Combined with two electric turbochargers (e-Turbo), it delivers a total system output of 701 horsepower (711 PS) and a maximum torque of 800 Nm. This is an increase of 61 horsepower compared to the previous model, reaching 100 km/h from a standstill in just 2.5 seconds, with a top speed of 322 km/h. This performance enhancement has been proven by a reduction of 14 seconds in the Nürburgring lap time compared to its predecessor.

Agility Beyond Weight: Evolved Chassis and Aerodynamics

Despite an increase of about 90 kg in weight due to the hybrid system, Porsche has achieved sharper driving performance. The latest Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (ehPDCC) and PASM sports suspension, along with wider rear tires measuring 325 mm, effectively transmit the increased power to the road. Additionally, vertical opening flaps have been applied to the front to maximize cooling efficiency and aerodynamic performance, along with an active front spoiler and rear wing that automatically adjust according to driving conditions. This has reduced the drag coefficient (Cd) by up to 10%.

Evolution in Appearance, Heritage in Essence

The new 911 Turbo S maintains the iconic silhouette of the 992 generation while pursuing functional design changes. Notable examples include larger cooling air intakes and new active aero parts. The interior features 18-way sports seats finished in premium leather and a high-performance infotainment system as standard, with the ‘Turbo Night’ color developed exclusively for the Turbo model used as accents throughout. The second-row seating and trunk space remain unchanged, further reinforcing the identity of the 911 Turbo as a ‘supercar that can be used daily.’

A New Definition of Supercar: From Motorsports to Everyday Life

The 2026 911 Turbo S is the model that perfectly embodies Porsche’s brand philosophy of ‘from motorsports to everyday life.’ Through hybrid technology, it elevates the value of a sports car that can be enjoyed in daily life, without getting caught up solely in the competition of output. It looks like a supercar, feels like a supercar, and is a car that can be driven every day. This is the new standard set by the new Porsche 911 Turbo S.
