FARAH: MY HONEST REVIEW OF THE NEW 911 TURBO S T-HYBRID

EV Channels Review

Matt Farah provides an in-depth review of the new Porsche 911 Turbo S T-Hybrid, highlighting its significant leap in performance driven by novel hybrid technology. He praises the car's immense power (701 hp, 590 lb-ft) and incredibly wide power band, facilitated by twin electric turbos and a 400V hybrid system that also enhances ride comfort and body control. The acceleration is described as astonishing, with the reviewer betting Porsche sandbags the official 0-60 times. While acknowledging its track prowess and luxury features, Farah notes the Turbo S has become the heaviest ever, with the convertible crossing the 4,000 lb mark. He finds the car almost too capable and composed, likening it to a "driving robot" that masks its extreme speed, making it less engaging for him personally compared to more raw 911 variants. The primary downsides identified are its weight, complexity, and high price point, though its versatility as a daily driver, road trip car, and track weapon is undeniable.
