T-Hybrid PORSCHE
POWERTRAIN
WITH A KNOWLEDGEABLE, DRIVer-centric enthusiast base ready to debate any change to the 911 ad infinitum, putting a hybrid engine in the car was an enormous risk. It has been over 25 years since Porsche introduced the water-cooled engine in its 911 sports car, and today enthusiasts still debate whether it’s better than its air-cooled predecessor.
The result of years of engineering work under the cloak of secrecy is the T-Hybrid powertrain, a 3.6-liter flatsix engine that pairs with an electric motor in the Porsche Doppelkupplung transmission, electric exhaust turbocharger and high-voltage battery in the Porsche 911 Carrera GTS and Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet.
