New Porsche 911: T-Hybrid for significantly enhanced performance
28/05/2024

Porsche has fundamentally upgraded the iconic 911 sports car. The new 911 Carrera GTS is the first street-legal 911 equipped with a super-lightweight performance hybrid. The 911 Carrera will also be available immediately upon the launch of the new model. The newly developed, innovative powertrain system, with 3.6 litres of displacement (911 Carrera GTS) provisional values:
Fuel consumption* combined (WLTP) 11.0 – 10.5 l/100 km, CO emissions* combined (WLTP) 251 – 239 g/km, CO2 class G ), delivers significantly improved driving performance. The 911 Carrera GTS Coupé accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 3.0 seconds and reaches a top speed of 312 km/h. The 911 Carrera will also be available immediately upon the launch of the new model. It is powered by a lightly modified 3.0-litre twin-turbo boxer engine (911 Carrera: Fuel consumption* combined (WLTP) 10.7 – 10.1 l/100 km, CO emissions* combined (WLTP) 244 – 230 g/km, CO2 class G ) that is more powerful than its predecessor’s. The new 911 also features a revamped design, better aerodynamics, a fresh interior, upgraded standard equipment and expanded connectivity.

With the relaunch of its iconic model, Porsche has modernised four of its six model lines in just a few months: Panamera, Taycan, Macan and 911. “Our product portfolio is younger than ever and highly attractive,” says CEO Oliver Blume. “It offers our customers even more customisation options and exclusive experiences.”

My annoyances with the T from least to most -
1. Why RWS? Make it optional.
2. Can't spec GT3 folding buckets with rear seats
3. Can't spec PCCB.
Last but not the least -
4. Can't spec Carmine red (wtf, it is almost like some dude in Porsche that reads my mind on which cars from the lineup I dig and then go on to not offer Carmine red exclusively from that one model while offering it n every other one! Go fick yourself, Porsche color chooser person).
 
My biggest gripe: manual only. Why not PDK too? Strange decision but watch this space, I predict.
 
So the 992.2 Carrera S is essentially the 992.1 Carrera GTS, filling in the gap left by 992.2 GTS going T-Hybrid with active aero.
Now, the Carrera S assumes the mantle of being the "sweet spot" in the range: 3.0 bi-turbo (353 kW, 530 Nm) with PDK and PTV as standard.
It also has the nicest front bumper of the non-GT range.
 
“The Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus system that boosts agility is now fitted as standard, as is a sports exhaust system with silver exhaust tips.”

This is good. We need cars that are noisy as standard.
 
Are there engineering considerations that have necessitated the ugly front 'gills' on the GTS?

I wonder how they will be dealt with the Turbo and Turbo S as those mules don't seem to have the same front end.

Apparently those ugly vertical front grills are for active aerodynamics, control the air flow, reduce drag etc.
