FIRST-EVER 911 HYBRID IN THE 2025 PORSCHE 911 GTS FACELIFT REVIEW!

EV Channels Review

Porsche introduces its first-ever 911 Hybrid with the 2025 911 GTS facelift, aiming to meet stringent emissions regulations while enhancing performance. The reviewer highlights significant visual updates, including a cleaner front and rear design, new light signatures, and improved aerodynamics with adaptive air intakes, resulting in a lower CD value. The GTS trim receives a new 3.6-liter flat-six hybrid powertrain, delivering 540 hp and achieving 0-60 mph in 3.0 seconds, a performance level previously seen in the Turbo models. Porsche emphasizes that the hybrid system adds only 50 kg of weight, with the battery strategically placed in the front. The reviewer notes the system's ability to provide peak performance in most driving modes, though it can deplete during intense track use. Interior updates include a fully digital cockpit with a 12.6-inch instrument cluster and a 10.9-inch infotainment screen. While the hybrid system is praised for its performance and responsiveness, the reviewer expresses a slight preference for analog gauges. The GTS also benefits from standard rear-axle steering, PASM suspension, and electro-hydraulic anti-tilt control, contributing to an 8.7-second faster Nürburgring lap time. Pricing starts at €130,000 for the base Carrera and €171,000 for the GTS, with options pushing the price considerably higher.
