Porsche said this morning that it has fundamentally upgraded its famous 911 sports car.* The new 911 Carrera GTS is the first street-legal 911 equipped with a lightweight performance hybrid system. It has a newly developed 3.6-liter six-cylinder boxer engine with an electric turbocharger and an electric motor.
“Our product portfolio is younger than ever and highly attractive,” said CEO Oliver Blume. “It offers our customers even more customization options and exclusive experiences.” With the relaunch of its most famous model, Porsche has modernized four of its six model lines in just a few month – Panamera, Taycan, Macan and 911.
Porsche is offering the new 911 Carrera as a coupé at a starting price of €128,700 including VAT and country-specific equipment. Prices for the 911 Carrera GTS Coupé start at €170,600. The price of the optional aero kit package for the 911 Carrera GTS is €2713.20, including VAT and country-specific equipment. Deliveries in Germany will begin in late summer for the 911 Carrera, and in late 2024 for the 911 Carrera GTS.
“The 911 Carrera GTS Coupé accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 3.0 seconds and reaches a top speed of 312 km/h. The 911 Carrera will also be available immediately upon the launch of the new model. It is powered by a lightly modified 3.0-litre twin-turbo boxer engine that is more powerful than its predecessor’s. The new 911 also features a revamped design, better aerodynamics, a fresh interior, upgraded standard equipment and expanded connectivity,” Porsche said.
The T-Hybrid system has a newly developed electric exhaust gas turbocharger. An integrated electric motor is placed between the compressor and turbine wheel. It is said to “instantaneously” bring the turbocharger up to speed, immediately building boost pressure. The electric motor in the exhaust gas turbocharger also functions as a generator. It generates up to 11 kW (15 PS) of electric power. This energy is extracted from the exhaust gas flow. The wastegate-free electric turbocharger allows the use of only one turbocharger instead of the previous two, which it’s claimed ensures a more dynamic and responsive power delivery.
The powertrain also includes a permanent magnet synchronous motor integrated into the new, more powerful eight-speed dual-clutch transmission (PDK). At idle speed, it supports the boxer engine with extra drive torque of up to 150 Nm and provides a power boost of up to 40 kW. Porsche couples both electric motors to a lightweight and compact high-voltage battery that corresponds in size and weight to a conventional 12-volt starter battery, but stores up to 1.9 kWh of energy (gross) and operates at a voltage of 400 V. For an optimized overall weight, Porsche has installed a lightweight lithium-ion battery for the 12 V on-board electrical system.
The core of the T-Hybrid drive is a newly developed 3.6-litre boxer engine. The high-voltage system allows the air-conditioning compressor to be driven electrically and the belt drive to be omitted, making the engine more compact. This creates space above the power unit for the pulse inverter and DC-DC converter. An enlarged bore of 97 mm and an increased stroke of 81 mm increase the displacement by 0.6 liters compared to its predecessor. The engine has VarioCam camshaft control and a valve control with rocker arms. It maintains the ideal mixture ratio of fuel and air over the entire map (lambda = 1).
Without electrical assistance, the boxer engine delivers 357 kW (485 PS) and 570 Nm of torque. In total, the system output is 398 kW (541 PS) and 610 Nm. The power increase over its predecessor is 45 kW (61 PS). The new 911 Carrera GTS beats its predecessor in the sprint to 100 km/h, particularly off the line. The efficient performance hybrid achieves highly dynamic driving characteristics while at the same time reducing CO2 emissions with less extra weight compared to plug-in hybrid vehicles. The weight increase over its predecessor is a 50 kilograms.
The 911 Carrera still has a 3.0-litre boxer engine with twin turbocharging. This engine, too, has been revised. Among other things, it has now adopted the intercooler from the Turbo models, which now sits directly under the rear lid grille, above the engine. (The turbochargers in the new 911 Carrera were reserved for the GTS models in its predecessor.) With these modifications, Porsche simultaneously achieves a reduction in emissions and a power boost to 290 kW (394 PS), along with maximum torque of 450 Nm. The new 911 Carrera Coupé goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds (3.9 seconds with the Sport Chrono package) and has a top speed of 294 km/h. Compared to its predecessor, this represents an improvement of 0.1 seconds and 1 km/h respectively.
