The automaker has added a hybrid powertrain to the all-new Porsche 911 Carrera GTS. It gets energy from a 3.6-litre flat-six engine that comes paired with two electric motors. This hybrid powertrain setup makes the car the first-ever road-legal 911 with an electrified mechanism. The new Porsche 911 Carrera GTS churns out 533 bhp peak power and 610 Nm of maximum torque. The automaker claims that the boxer engine alone generates around 480 bhp with 570 Nm of maximum torque, while the electric motors draw energy from a high-voltage battery pack for a more dynamic power generation. It can run at a top speed of 312 kmph and is capable of accelerating 0-100 kmph in three seconds.
The Porsche 911 Carrera, on the other hand, comes powered by a 3.0-litre flat-six boxer engine paired with twin turbochargers. This engine is capable of pumping out 392 bhp of peak power and 450 Nm of maximum torque. The sports coupe is capable of accelerating 0-100 kmph in 4.1 seconds, which can be reduced to 3.9 seconds with the optional Sports Chrono package. The sportscar can run at a top speed of 294 kmph.
