The Porsche 911, which has undergone many transformations over its 61 years of history, now embraces hybrid technology in its 992.2 generation.
The Carrera GTS and Carrera models have been updated, with the GTS equipped with the T-Hybrid system, which uses two electric motors to enhance performance. The lithium-ion battery is small and lightweight, adding 27 kg to the car, maintaining a focus on performance with minimal weight gain.
Rear-axle steering and electro-hydraulic Dynamic Chassis Control are now standard on the GTS, improving the car’s agility and response in corners. Aerodynamics have been refined with active fins that reduce drag coefficient and a new headlight design.

Inside, the analog tachometer has been replaced by a digital one, and other visual and functional elements have been updated, such as slimmer taillights and a central exhaust with two pipes.
Although the introduction of the hybrid system has raised concerns among purists and enthusiasts of traditional engines, Porsche argues that the technology is a necessary step to future-proof the 911 and make it compliant with future regulations.
The impressive performance of the hybrid Carrera GTS, with quick responses and a rawer, more responsive character, demonstrates that the essence of the 911 has been preserved, remaining true to its reputation for high performance.
