WE'RE DRIVING THE FIRST-EVER PORSCHE 911 GTS HYBRID AND IT'S CRAZY!

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Porsche 911 GTS Hybrid marks a significant evolution for the iconic sports car, introducing a hybrid powertrain that impressively eradicates turbo lag and enhances performance, as evidenced by its 8.7-second faster Nürburgring lap time compared to its predecessor. The reviewer highlights the seamless integration of the electric motors, one powering the turbo and the other assisting the drivetrain, resulting in a potent 540 hp system output and a thrilling 3.0-second 0-60 mph time. Despite the added hybrid components, the weight increase is a mere 50 kg, a figure that goes unnoticed during driving. The interior receives a modern update with a 12.6-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10.9-inch infotainment system, though the reviewer notes the microfiber quality could be better and expresses a preference for analog RPM gauges. While the driving dynamics, steering precision, and handling on both road and track are lauded, the sound profile is described as 'different' and not necessarily an improvement over the naturally aspirated engines. The convertible variant offers an enjoyable open-top experience, though wind noise becomes noticeable above 100 km/h. The reviewer concludes that while the GTS Hybrid is an incredible, high-performance machine, its price point, starting at €171,000 and easily exceeding €218,000 as tested, is considered 'ridiculously overpriced' in the current market.
