New 2025 Porsche 911 Review

Overview

The Porsche 911 has been improving for over 50 years without losing its true driving feel. Small design modifications, increased power, and a major update—a new hybrid system in the GTS model—are all features of the 2025 model, also known as the 992.2. This hybrid, named T-Hybrid, includes an electric turbo and a starter-generator to boost performance.

The coupe version stays as the main model, while the cabriolet and Targa versions still offer sharp handling and fun driving with open-top options. With many 911 versions and add-ons available, it can be tricky to keep track. That’s why the Turbo and GT3 models are reviewed separately.

This review covers the standard models: Carrera, Carrera S, Carrera T, and GTS. The Carrera T is lighter and more focused on track use. All these models give a great mix of comfort and performance, making them the most flexible options in the 911 lineup. The 2025 Porsche 911 remains a top choice and has earned a spot on our Editors’ Choice list.

What’s New in the 2025 Porsche 911?

For 2025, the biggest update is the new T-Hybrid system added to the GTS model. This hybrid setup boosts performance and uses smart tech like an electric turbo and starter-generator.

The outside also looks fresh—new bumpers, lights, wheels, mirrors, and better aerodynamics. The front now has five vertical vents (louvers) to help cool the brakes or send air to the radiators. Different models have unique bumper designs, moving lips for airflow, and one or two exhaust pipes.

Inside, Porsche adds its first fully digital dashboard, which may surprise longtime fans. The lightweight Carrera T is back too, with a 388-hp flat-six engine, manual gearbox, and choice of coupe or convertible.

Which Model to Choose?

In 2024, the Carrera S was the best pick for its strong performance and reasonable price. But in 2025, the new GTS with the T-Hybrid will make it the top choice. Still, the base Carrera is a great value, and the Carrera T is best for those who love pure driving.

Engine, Transmission & Performance – 2025 Porsche 911

The 2025 Porsche 911 still uses a 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine in the Carrera, but it’s now slightly improved. It now includes a better intercooler and a new turbo taken from last year’s GTS model. Power is up to 388 horsepower—just 9 more than before—but it helps the car go a little faster, reaching 0–60 mph in about 3.1 seconds.

The Carrera S version gives even more power, with 473 horsepower. It only comes with an 8-speed PDK automatic gearbox and has stronger brakes, a sporty exhaust, and better suspension.

The GTS model’s T-Hybrid engine is the most significant 2025 innovation. The 3.6-liter flat-six engine in this variant incorporates an electric motor and a new electric turbo. The motor produces an additional 110 lb-ft of torque and 54 horsepower. It employs a 1.1 kWh battery and is powered by a 400-volt system. Since everything is integrated into the PDK transmission, the setup is seamless and organic. We drove it and found that the hybrid works quietly in the background but gives a noticeable boost when speeding up.

The Carrera T (a lighter, sportier version) comes with a manual transmission, which gives a fun and engaging driving experience.

0–60 MPH Performance

• GTS T-Hybrid: Porsche says it goes from 0–60 mph in 2.9 seconds (previously 3.2 seconds). Based on past testing, it might even do it in about 2.5 seconds.
  
• Base Carrera: Now hits 0–60 mph in 3.1 seconds, slightly faster than before.
  

We’ll share more performance results once more versions of the 2025 911 are tested.

Fuel Economy

About 18 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway are achieved by the base 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera. The Carrera T coupe is a bit less efficient, with 14 mpg city and 21 mpg highway. The T cabriolet and the Carrera S models (both coupe and cabriolet) get 14 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway. For more detailed fuel info, you can visit the EPA website.

Interior, Comfort & Storage

The 2025 Porsche 911 coupe comes as a 2-seater, but you can also get it with small back seats (2+2 layout) for free. Inside, there’s a cooled spot in the center console to keep your phone chilled, and it also works as a wireless charging area. The rest of the interior mostly stays the same as before. One minor modification was the addition of a new start button by Porsche, which was positioned in the customary location to the left of the steering wheel.

Infotainment & Technology

For the first time, the 911 now has a 12.6-inch digital display behind the steering wheel. Some fans may miss the old style, but this new screen lets you choose between different layouts, including the classic 5-gauge look. You can even line up the tachometer to show 7000 rpm at the top.

The main infotainment screen is 10.9 inches, and logging in to your Porsche profile is now easier using a QR code.
Apple CarPlay works on both the infotainment screen and the driver display. You can now also watch videos and use apps like Spotify and Apple Music directly from the car system—no need to connect your phone.
