Summary
The Porsche 911 Turbo S, as the flagship model of the 911 series, traditionally stands for innovation and outstanding sports performance. Since its introduction, it has set benchmarks with significant powertrain technologies: in 1974, the first series‑production sports car with exhaust gas turbocharging; in 1977, the introduction of charge air intercooling; in the mid‑1990s, the switch to bi‑turbocharging and standard all-wheel drive; in 2006, the use of turbochargers with variable turbine geometry for gasoline engines, followed by further innovations such as gasoline direct injection and increased variability of the valvetrain. The latest generation excites with an innovative hybridization concept designed for driving per-formance.
As the most powerful series‑production 911, the 911 Turbo S (992 II) combines maximum performance and efficiency with everyday usability. The powertrain system consists of the 3.6‑litre six‑cylinder boxer engine, a compact and lightweight high voltage battery, an efficient power electronics system, and a reinforced 8‑speed Porsche dual‑clutch transmission (PDK) with an integrated P1‑arranged electric motor.
