Brutal twin-turbo supercar lands in Oz: 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S delivers monster hybrid performance to hammer Aston Martin Vanquish, Ferrari 296, Lamborghini Temerario & McLaren 750S

Porsche Cars Australia has topped its multi-model 911 line-up with the heavy-hitting Turbo S flagship, boasting monstrous hybrid power, stunning dynamic performance and even more sophisticated all-wheel drive technology.

Powered by a 3.6-litre, twin-turbo ‘flat’ six-cylinder engine, it produces no less than 523kW (711hp) and 800Nm; enough to propel the Coupe version from 0-100km/h in 2.5 seconds (Cabriolet 2.6sec) and on to a maximum velocity of 322km/h.

The all-alloy engine features direct fuel-injection, variable valve timing and integrated dry-sump lubrication, while the electric part of the hybrid equation consists of the twin electric ‘eTurbo’ units (which eliminate turbo lag and serve double duty as generators) and a permanent-magnet synchronous motor integrated into the eight-speed dual-clutch transmission.

This ‘T-Hybrid’ system is underpinned by a 1.9kWh 400V lithium-ion battery with drive going to all four wheels via a map-controlled multi-plate clutch and the latest iteration of the ‘Porsche Traction Management’ system.

Rear-axle steering, ‘Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control’ (active roll stabilisation and enhanced vehicle dynamics), ‘Porsche Stability Management’, ‘Porsche Active Suspension Management’ (electronically variable active damping) and ‘Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus’ (variable electronically controlled rear differential lock with variable torque distribution) also feature.

Forged alloy rims are 20-inch front, 21-inch rear, shod with Pirelli P Zero rubber (255/35 fr - 325/30 rr) and brakes are ventilated and perforated carbon-fibre-reinforced ceramic composite discs (420mm x 40mm fr - 410mm x 32mm rr) with 10-piston fixed calipers at the front and four-piston fixed units at the rear.
