Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet Packs 711 HP—Bad News for Fans: It’s Now Pricier in the U.S.
Porsche has unveiled the 711-horsepower hybrid 911 Turbo S. The bad news for enthusiasts is that it costs significantly more than its predecessor.
Porsche has recently introduced the new hybrid 911 Turbo S with an output of 711 horsepower. Unfortunately for brand loyalists, the updated model comes with a much steeper price tag compared to the previous generation.
According to Porsche’s U.S. online configurator, the starting price for the 911 Turbo S Coupe is now $270,300, while the Cabriolet starts at $284,300. That’s an increase of $31,600 and $66,700, respectively, over the outgoing models.
The price hike is substantial, but it’s unlikely to deter fans from purchasing the most powerful 911 to date. Porsche will likely set a similarly premium price for the upcoming 911 GT2 RS—especially if it adopts the T-Hybrid powertrain from the Turbo S.
The new Turbo S uses a 3.6-liter flat-six engine also found in the Carrera GTS and Carrera 4 GTS, paired with two electric turbochargers, a 1.9-kWh battery, and an electric motor integrated into the 8-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Combined output reaches 711 hp and 800 Nm of torque—a 60-hp increase over the previous Turbo S. Top speed is electronically limited to 320 km/h (199 mph), and it sprints from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in just 2.4 seconds.
In fall 2024, a 911 Turbo S prototype set a Nürburgring lap record with a time of 7:03.92, beating its predecessor’s benchmark by 14 seconds.
