How Fast Is The New Porsche 911 Hybrid?

With more than 60 years of history, the Porsche 911 has stolen the hearts of car lovers for generations, gracing walls of would-be sports car owners before they're even old enough to drive. However, in 2024, Porsche has proven that it's not done with innovating its classic cars and made waves by announcing the first hybrid Porsche 911 model.

Given the trend of car manufacturers building more sustainable ways of transportation, one can argue that Porsche releasing a hybrid 911 car was always a matter of when, not if. While it has experimented with a few cosmetic changes in the past, especially with its headlights and dashboard, the Porsche has stayed largely committed to retaining its classic shape and sleek curves. It has gone through several improvements internally though, for example, the classic car shifted from air-cooled to water-cooled engines almost three decades ago. 

It could be said that Porsche took its time with the development of a hybrid sports car, especially as Porsche claims its late founder invented the first functional hybrid car. As the saying goes, the early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese. With a starting MSRP of $120,100 for the 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera, plus taxes, titles, delivery fees, and so on, the expectations are high and many lovers of the sports car are asking one crucial question: how fast is it?

The 2025 911 Porsche has several things going for it, especially its turbocharger. In tandem with its eight-speed dual-clutch PDK transmission, the new hybrid sports car clocks in with a whopping 532 horsepower system that blows the gas-only 911 GTS' 473 horsepower out of the water. 

In a press release, Porsche shared that its upcoming 911 Carrera GTS Coupe has a top track speed of 194 mph. It also notes that the new hybrid has the capability to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds. In comparison, the 2024 Porsche Taycan Turbo S, which was included in our list of the fastest new cars built by every major car brand, could go from 0 to 60 mph in 2.3 seconds — but had a significantly slower top track speed of 161 mph. 

So, even if it's a little late to the game, here's to hope that Porsche stays on the course and starts leading the pack for hybrid vehicles everywhere.
