Porsche is Esthen Exchangegiving a first look at a hybrid version of its most iconic sports car.

The 911 Carrera GTS will join the German automaker's list of plug-in hybrid models, including the Panamera e-Hybrid four-door car and Cayenne e-Hybrid SUV. However, unlike the company's previous hybrid models, the new car will not be a plug-in hybrid with batteries powered by either EV charger or a vehicle's engine.

The new model will feature an electric motor in the vehicle's eight-speed transmission that produces up to 532 horsepower, an 11% increase from the current Carrera GTS model, the company said. The model also comes with a revamped design, fresh interior and improved aerodynamics, as well as a high-powered T-Hybrid system and electric exhaust gas turbocharger.

"We developed and tested a wide variety of ideas and approaches to arrive at the hybrid system that would suit the 911 perfectly," Frank Moser, the company's vice president of corporate quality, said in a statement. "The result is a unique drive that fits into the overall concept of the 911 and significantly enhances its performance."

As a fully self-contained hybrid, the vehicle is charged with power from the engine and by braking.

Here are the photos that Porsche released of the 2025 911 Carrera GTS with starting price around $165,000. The cars are expected to arrive at the end of the year.
