992.2 PORSCHE 911 GTS T-HYBRID REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 992.2 Porsche 911 GTS introduces a "T-Hybrid" system, which the reviewer argues is not a traditional hybrid but rather an enhancement to the internal combustion engine. This system, featuring an electric motor assisting the turbocharger and acting as a starter/alternator, boosts performance significantly, offering 541 bhp and 610 Nm of torque, with 0-62 mph times dipping below 3 seconds. The reviewer praises the seamless integration of this tech, noting it enhances responsiveness and acceleration without compromising the 911's character. Positives include the potent acceleration, particularly between 50-70 mph, the precise steering, and the overall practicality of the 911. However, the ride quality on bumpy roads is noted as a potential drawback for daily use, and the lack of physical tachometer and a bland start button are minor criticisms. Ultimately, the reviewer concludes that while not a "proper" hybrid in the conventional sense, the T-Hybrid system enhances the GTS formula, making it a faster, more responsive, and still characterful driver's car that most would welcome.
