THE MOST POWERFUL PORSCHE 911 EVER - NEW TURBO S ENGINE DEEP DIVE!

EV Channels Review

The 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S receives a significant powertrain overhaul, now featuring a 3.6L twin-turbo boxer engine combined with a hybrid system, delivering a peak of 701 horsepower. The video meticulously details the advancements over the previous generation, highlighting the new twin electric turbos which eliminate the need for wastegates and contribute to a substantially wider torque curve, available for approximately 3700 RPM compared to the predecessor's 1500 RPM. The integration of an electric motor between the engine and transmission further enhances performance and regeneration capabilities. A key focus is on how this electrification strategy simplifies the powertrain by removing components like the accessory belt and starter motor, while also enabling the engine to run at Lambda=1 for emissions compliance without sacrificing power. The reviewer also provides an in-depth, albeit complex, explanation of how to calculate the 0-200-0 km/h time, estimating it at 12.7 seconds, which closely matched the actual tested time of 12.6 seconds.
