Ultimate Sports Car 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS

Porsche has introduced groundbreaking updates to its iconic 911 series for 2025, with the new 911 Carrera GTS leading the way. This model is the first production Porsche to feature a lightweight, performance-focused hybrid powertrain, setting a new standard in the sports car market. At the core of this innovation is a newly developed 3.6-liter six-cylinder boxer engine, combined with an electrically driven turbocharger and an in-transmission electric motor.

 

This hybrid powertrain allows the 911 Carrera GTS to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.9 seconds, shaving 0.3 seconds off the previous time, and reach a top track speed of 194 mph. This makes the new GTS not only faster but also more efficient, providing an exhilarating driving experience.

 

 

The new 911 Carrera has also seen substantial enhancements, featuring an updated 3.0-liter twin-turbo boxer engine. This upgraded engine is more powerful than before, delivering a more thrilling ride. Both models boast improved aerodynamics, a refreshed design, new color options, an upgraded interior, and enhanced connectivity features, making them more appealing and technologically advanced.

 

Drawing from motorsport expertise, Porsche engineers have crafted the hybrid system in the 911 Carrera GTS to optimize performance. Frank Moser, Vice-President of the 911 and 718 model lines, highlighted that the result is a unique powertrain well-integrated into the overall concept, significantly boosting performance.

 

 

The new hybrid system includes a strengthened eight-speed dual-clutch transmission (PDK) with an integrated synchronous motor. This motor adds up to 110 lb.-ft. of torque at idle and generates up to 40 kW of power, enhancing the engine’s output. Additionally, the system features an electrically driven turbocharger, which uses an electric motor to quickly spool up the turbo, improving throttle response and overall performance.

 

The high-voltage battery, which powers both the turbocharger and the electric motor, is compact and lightweight. Comparable in size and weight to a conventional 12-volt battery, it retains up to 1.9 kWh of energy and operates at 400 volts. This battery placement optimizes weight distribution, with a lightweight lithium-ion battery located behind the parcel shelf in the rear.

 

The 3.6-liter boxer engine is the heart of the T-Hybrid powertrain. The high-voltage system powers the air conditioning compressor electrically, eliminating the need for a belt drive and making the engine more compact. This design provides room above the engine for the pulse inverter and DC-DC converter. The engine’s displacement has increased by 0.6 liters compared to previous models, thanks to an enlarged bore and stroke. The new engine features VarioCam, a camshaft adjustment system, and a valve control system using roller rocker arms, ensuring optimal performance across the engine speed range.

 

The engine alone produces 478 hp and 420 lb.-ft. of torque. The total system power, combining the engine and electric motor, reaches an impressive 532 hp and 449 lb.-ft. of torque. This power boost allows the new 911 Carrera GTS to outperform its predecessor, especially when accelerating from a standstill. The hybrid system achieves this heightened performance without the significant weight increase typically associated with conventional hybrid systems, adding only 103 lbs to the U.S. curb weight compared to the previous model.

 

The standard 911 Carrera continues to be powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo boxer engine, which has been significantly updated. It now includes an intercooler from the 911 Turbo models, placed above the engine directly beneath the rear decklid grille, and turbochargers from previous 911 Carrera GTS models. These updates result in an increased power output of 388 hp and 331 lb.-ft. of torque, allowing the 911 Carrera Coupe to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds and reach a top track speed of 183 mph.

The suspension of the 911 Carrera GTS has been extensively updated. Rear axle steering is now standard, enhancing vehicle stability at high speeds and reducing the turning circle. The optional Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) system is integrated into the high-voltage system, allowing for more flexible and precise control. The standard sport suspension with adaptive dampers and a 10-millimeter reduction in ride height provides a driving experience characteristic of GTS models.

 

The exterior design of the new 911 has been refined, with a focus on aerodynamics and performance. The 911 Carrera GTS models feature a new front fascia with five visible, vertically aligned active air flaps and adaptive front diffusors. These elements work together to optimize aerodynamics and cooling. The rear of the car has been updated with a new light band featuring “PORSCHE” lettering, a redesigned rear decklid grille, and model-specific exhaust systems.

 

Inside, the 2025 911 models feature a fully digital cockpit and extended connectivity options. The 12.6-inch curved display can be extensively customized, while the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system has been optimized for better drive mode customization and assistance system operation. New connectivity functions include deeper integration with Apple CarPlay®, video streaming options, and native apps like Spotify® and Apple Music®.

 

The new 2025 Porsche 911 models are available to order now. The 911 Carrera is offered as a Coupe or Cabriolet with rear-wheel drive, while the 911 Carrera GTS is available in multiple configurations, including rear and all-wheel drive, and as a Targa variant. Deliveries for the 911 Carrera models are expected to start in the fall, with the 911 Carrera GTS models arriving by the end of 2024.
