Porsche is gearing up for an exciting upgrade to the Turbo S for the 2026 model year, expected to hit the market as early as 2025. The refreshed version of the 992.2-series Turbo S will introduce several key features, including carbon-ceramic brakes, center-lock wheels with different sizes, a roll cage, and a notable small yellow sticker on the rear window. This sticker is more than just a design element-it indicates the presence of high-voltage systems, suggesting Porsche is integrating hybrid technology into this powerful machine.
While Porsche has already updated its Carrera lineup for the 2025 model year, only the rear-wheel-drive Carrera GTS and all-wheel-drive Carrera 4 GTS models feature Porsche’s new T-Hybrid system. This advanced hybrid setup includes a 1.9-kilowatt-hour high-voltage battery, a compact electric motor integrated into the front section of the automatic transmission, and an electric turbocharger.
A significant change in the GTS models is the switch to a new 3.6-liter engine with a single turbocharger, replacing the previous 3.0-liter twin-turbo engine. This 3.6-liter engine may eventually replace not only the 3.0-liter but also the Turbo-specific 3.7-liter and even the 4.0-liter engine found in the GT3 and GT3 RS models.
Interestingly, Porsche is rumored to keep the Turbo model running exclusively on internal combustion, setting it apart from the hybridized Turbo S. There is also speculation about a potential "Touring" version of the Turbo with rear-wheel drive, a manual transmission, and no rear wing.
The 2026 Turbo S will likely be heavier due to the hybrid system, but with more power than the current model, which already produces 641 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. Expect visual changes like vertical slats in the front bumper and a fully digital interior, including matrix LED headlights and a sleek instrument cluster.
