Porsche 911 Turbo S T-Hybrid: What Changed and What It Costs in Australia

Short answer: the new 911 Turbo S is the most powerful production 911 to date, in Porsche’s own words. It makes 523 kW and 800 Nm and does 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds. The big change is a small hybrid system with two electric turbochargers. It adds 85 kg, and Porsche says the car still laps the Nürburgring about 14 seconds quicker than the one it replaces. As at 30 October 2026 Porsche Australia does not publish a price. Australian outlets reported the Coupé from $577,300 before on-road costs.

Porsche has changed its quickest everyday 911 in a way that matters. The Turbo S now has a hybrid system called T-Hybrid, which first appeared in the 911 Carrera GTS in 2024. In the Turbo S the system has been reworked and given two electric turbochargers, where the GTS has one. Porsche Cars Australia offers the car as a Coupé and a Cabriolet.

The Numbers

How the Hybrid Works

This is not a big battery pack bolted to a 911. Porsche says the aim was the most performance for the least extra weight, and the system has three parts.

Two electric turbochargers. A normal turbo has to wait for exhaust gas to spin it up. Each of these has a small electric motor on its shaft, so boost arrives straight away. At higher speeds the exhaust-driven turbos work the other way and feed electricity back to the battery.

A motor inside the gearbox. An electric motor sits in the eight-speed PDK, Porsche’s dual-clutch gearbox. It is 286 mm across and 55 mm long, and it makes 60 kW and 188 Nm.

A small battery up front. The 1.9 kWh battery has 216 cells, runs at 400 volts and sits in the front of the car. Porsche says it is roughly the size of a standard starter battery.

Faster, and Heavier

Power is up 61 PS on the car it replaces, and the new car weighs 85 kg more. The 2020 Turbo S made 478 kW (650 PS) and did 0 to 100 km/h in 2.7 seconds, so the new one is 0.2 seconds quicker. Porsche says the extra weight is more than made up for in the way the car drives, and points to the Nürburgring lap as proof.

Top speed is the one number that did not go up. Porsche quotes 322 km/h for the new car, tested on a closed track, against 330 km/h quoted for the 2020 car. The gains are in acceleration and lap time.

What It Costs in Australia

As at 30 October 2026, Porsche Australia’s website shows the 911 Turbo S with a Configure button but no price, and tells buyers to contact their local Porsche Centre. Australian motoring outlets reported the pricing at launch. GoAuto, on 8 September 2025, listed the Coupé from $577,300 plus on-road costs and the Cabriolet at $598,000 plus on-road costs. CarExpert lists the Coupé from $577,300 before on-road costs.

Luxury car tax applies at this price, and stamp duty depends on your state, so the drive-away figure will be well above the starting price. Porsche’s Australian launch release said initial deliveries would start in the second quarter of 2026.

What to Ask Your Porsche Centre

• The drive-away price, including luxury car tax and stamp duty for your state.
• The delivery date for the colour and options you want.
• The Sport Chrono Package. Porsche’s Australian page quotes the 2.5 seconds with it fitted.
• The front axle lift. It is optional and raises the nose by 40 mm for speed humps and steep driveways.
