New 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S Just Raised The Bar For Supercars

Porsche just unveiled the all-new 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S today at the IAA Mobility trade show in Munich, and this bad boy is the most powerful production 911 ever, packing an insane 701 horsepower thanks to an innovative twin-turbo powertrain with T-Hybrid technology.

If you’ve been dreaming of a car that combines blistering speed, luxury, and daily usability, the new 911 Turbo S is here to crush expectations.

Insane Performance That Leaves Supercars Behind

Under the hood, the 2026 911 Turbo S delivers an incredible 701 horsepower – a 61-hp jump over the previous model. Maximum torque hits 590 lb-ft across a wide 2,300–6,000 rpm range, giving you insane mid-range punch. The secret? Twin eTurbos in the T-Hybrid system, which not only crank power but also dramatically sharpen throttle response.

Thanks to an eight-speed PDK transmission paired with Porsche Traction Management (PTM) all-wheel drive, the Turbo S Coupe rockets from 0-60 mph in just 2.4 seconds, while reaching 124 mph in 8.4 seconds. Top speed? 200 mph. For reference, that’s faster than most supercars that cost twice as much.

“The 911 Turbo S is the most complete and versatile way to drive a Porsche 911. Whether in daily use, on long highway trips or on the track – we have been able to make the new 911 Turbo S even more comfortable, more customizable and at the same time significantly faster than its predecessor,” says Frank Moser, Vice President of the 911 and 718 model lines.

Nürburgring Lap Times That Crush The Competition

Weight gain? Barely an issue. The Turbo S comes in at 3,829 pounds, just 180 pounds heavier than the previous model. But that extra mass doesn’t slow it down whatsoever. In fact, a lightly camouflaged Turbo S clocked a 7:03.92 lap at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, shaving around 14 seconds off its predecessor.

“You don’t feel the weight gain. On the contrary – the car is much more agile, has more grip and is significantly faster than its predecessor in all relevant sections of the track,” says Porsche Brand Ambassador Jörg Bergmeister, who was involved in the development and testing of the new 911 Turbo S and set the official lap time.

That kind of performance puts it in the league of hypercars, but with daily usability most of them lack.

Brakes, Tires, and Aero: Optimized for Speed and Handling

The Turbo S isn’t just about straight-line speed—it sticks to corners like glue. New rear tires (325/30 ZR 21) improve dry handling, while Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) with motorsport-derived brake pads provide killer stopping power. Front rotors remain 420 mm, rear rotors grow to 410 mm, making this the largest PCCB system ever on a Porsche two-door.

Intelligent active aerodynamics take things even further. Adjustable flaps and spoilers reduce drag, enhance downforce, and even protect brakes in wet conditions. Drag coefficient drops by up to 10%, letting the Turbo S slice through the air like a jet fighter.

Chassis, Suspension, and Exhaust: Track-Ready but Comfy

The 911 Turbo S comes standard with an electro-hydraulically controlled Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (ehPDCC) system, which dramatically reduces body roll and sharpens agility through corners. Using the 400-volt electrical system and high-voltage battery, it reacts faster than the previous hydraulic setup, while cross-connected active coupling rods adjust pressure on the fly for a perfect balance of comfort and performance. For everyday usability, an optional front axle lift can raise the nose faster than older systems, making speed bumps and driveways a non-issue. As with past Turbo models, the front and rear tracks are wider than the Carrera models, boosting stability and cornering confidence.

Adding to the experience, the Sport Exhaust System features lightweight titanium mufflers and exhaust tips. The 3.6-liter boxer engine, now with asymmetrical timing, delivers a sharp, throaty roar that matches the car’s aggressive performance and styling.

Together, these upgrades make the Turbo S not just a blistering performer on the track, but a car that’s agile, comfortable, and thrilling to drive every day.

Exclusive Looks and Interior Luxury

Porsche continues its signature Turbo styling with the new 911 Turbo S, taking design cues from previous Turbo models while adding fresh, exclusive touches. Key accents in Turbonite, a color reserved for Turbo variants, highlight the Porsche crest, the “Turbo S” rear lettering, and the slats of the engine grille and window surrounds. Even the wheels feature new center lock designs in Turbonite, making it instantly recognizable as the range-topping 911.

The 911 Turbo S keeps the wider body typical of Turbo models, with rear quarter panel intakes channeling air to the engine and a redesigned rear fascia that emphasizes width with bold ventilation openings. Optional oval-shaped titanium exhaust tips add an extra layer of aggressive styling, complementing the car’s muscular stance and aerodynamic enhancements.

Inside, there’s more Turbonite accents on the dashboard, door panels, center console, steering wheel, and Sport Chrono stopwatch, along with matching stitching and seat belts. Carbon fiber trim with Neodyme highlights and a perforated Race-Tex headliner create a sporty, premium vibe. Standard features include adaptive 18-way Sport Seats Plus with memory, HD Matrix LED headlights, the Sport Chrono Package, PASM chassis, ehPDCC, a titanium Sport Exhaust, and Turbo S-specific embossing on the seats and doors.

Why the 911 Turbo S Stands Apart

Compared to competitors like the McLaren 720S or Ferrari F8, the 911 Turbo S hits a rare sweet spot: hypercar-level performance without sacrificing everyday usability. It’s a car you can daily drive, blast down the Autobahn, or dominate a track day—and still feel like a luxury grand tourer on your morning commute.

In short, the 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S proves that Porsche can still surprise the supercar world with speed, tech, and style, keeping the legendary 911 relevant and aspirational for a new generation of drivers.

The new 2026 Porsche Turbo S is available to order now, with a starting price of $270,300 for the coupe and a starting price of $284,300 for the Cabriolet – about $30,000 more than the outgoing Turbo S models. Cars are expected to arrive in dealerships in the US in Spring 2026.
