Possibility 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S Touring Spy

Porsche has been testing and discovering prototypes for members of its updated 911 range, and it looks like it could be for an update of existing ones rather than a new grade.

This week the automaker removed the cover from the first member of the updated 911 range, which marked the adoption of the iconic sports car hybrid technology. They will start selling as 2025 models later this year and will include Carrera, Carrera GTS, Carrera4GTS, and Targa4GTS grades.

Others are still in testing and will be available next year. 1 of them is the updated Turbo S, another grade that is expected to adopt hybrid technology.

The latest prototype may look like an updated Turbo S previous test vehicle, but there are clues pointing out that it is for the new grade. The missing fixed rear wing is the most obvious sign, but there is also a set of covers for the intake of the rear fender.

We may be considering a potential Turbo S tooling grade similar to the limited edition 911Sport Classic that will be available in 2023. The sports classic also skipped the fixed rear wing and side intakes, but also picked up a ducktail spoiler and a roof dent. The touring name for this new grade is uncertain, but it comes from a GT3 touring variant that not only is based on the GT3, but also skips the rear wing.

The Sport Classic also came with a 7-speed manual and rear-wheel drive, two features not offered in the Turbo S.

The yellow sticker on the prototype is the updated Turbo S.There is little manual to point to packing the same hybrid powertrain for Porsche Hybrid Powertrain Porsche Hybrid powertrain for 911 is a 992-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission found in generation 911. It integrates the electric motor with the electric motor. The electric motor is used to help the engine and recover energy under braking. The powertrain also uses an electric compressor with a turbocharged system to add boost pressure at low rpm and reduce turbo lag. The electric compressor can also recover energy from exhaust.

The current Turbo S produces 3.8 hp from a 6-liter flat 640 engine with twin turbocharged, but the Sport Classic version had 572 hp to compensate for the loss of traction from driving only the rear wheels. More power needs to be planned for the new hybrid powertrain.

Porsche has confirmed that the current Turbo and Turbo S will remain unchanged until 2025. This means that the updated version is likely to arrive in the 2026 model, pointing to its debut next year. That's also likely to happen when this new Turbo S Touring makes its debut.
