New Porsche 911 GTS T-hybrid DRIVEN… on road and track

The 2025 Porsche 911 GTS has landed, and 9WERKS is one of the first to test the car on both road and track! The big question is, does Porsche's new 'performance hybrid' add or detract from the traditional 911 driving experience? Lee Sibley finds out with a track test of the rear-wheel-drive Coupe GTS AND a road test of the all-wheel-drive GTS Targa. With an electric motor and eTurbo now supporting the flat six engine, does the new T-Hybrid excite Porsche 911 driving enthusiasts in the same way? Let us know what you think in the comments below!

Another Porsche engineering masterpiece! Whilst I will always love and prefer a NA ICE, if I was going to get a hybrid it would, without doubt, be the 992.2! Incredible what Porsche have achieved here.
Brilliant review Lee, and glad Porsche invited you, especially given that you know 911's best.

Congrats....one of the better reviews out there.

[jonathanwinkley]

Great review, love the enthusiasm and detail! Great to hear Porsche have smashed it again and our beloved 911 is in safe hands!

[daggidding]

Great video, Lee.
And finally you got your sound (volume) right😃 That mic pays for itself!

Had a 991.2 GTS glorious exhaust note and brilliant handling, Then got a 992GTS even better performance handling but muted exhaust note. Put a deposit down for the 992.2 GTS and like you had loads of concerns, but You have dispelled my fears and looking to get my next one. PS have a very original 944 Turbo S it too is a brilliant drive even though it's 36 years young.
Great honest review, as always.

I love it that Porsche don't use fake sounds ❣️👌🏼
For me as German, Porsche is the only German car brand where goes in the right direction 😅 ...where I can be proud of 💪🏼
Nice review, Lee ❕
Love from Berlin 🇩🇪

It's a shame Porsche aren't going in this direction for the new Cayman/Boxter. I predict those sales will drop off a cliff when the full electric versions come.
Is a Manual still available in the standard car??

[lifeislucci]

I was never a fan of how the non-GT 992.1 sounded, but this sounds much much better. Hats off to Porsche

[casascius]

savagegeese says that some of the engine sound is coming through rear speakers, are you sure it's not faked/augmented?

[cloudyharry]

Great review as always Lee. I don't mind the sound of the GTS but I'm not sure it's a nice or better sound. It's certainly louder than the 3.0 engine, but it sounds a bit gruff/agricultural to me. I noticed the smoking tyre and savagegeese also weren't fans of the way it sounds.

But, overall, what an engineering masterpiece by Porsche

[jak]

Sounds amazing and nice to hear an excited reviewer for once! My only issue is the fact that you can literally not drive enthusiastically anywhere but a race track these days with speed cameras, mobile police speed checks etc etc. The fear of losing your licence in this car is just too overwhelming!

[CSdude]

what do you think of the piped in sound?

[richardsholl]

All that torque at what is, basically, a fast idle. Gonna be a monster on point’n’squirt b-roads assuming the road is wide enough for a big 992 body.

[ferrarikangaroo]

Amazing review mate. Your video and Henry Catchpole's were the only ones I needed to watch! Keep up the great content & podcasts. The clever use of hybrid tech is a really big positive with the new 911 IMO. The lack of analogue dials and manual transmission are a bit of a downer for me though if I'm honest. In the same way that wrist watches have come back in style, I hope that analogue dials make a return in a heritage or sport classic model!

[scottsumner]

Great review! Would you go with the carbon or steel breaks, is it worth the extra £9k due to how fast it is

[andrewkeene]

great video Lee - you need to be on more launches, getting better and better, and good production too. Well done. I’m going to order one of these, 2WD coupe, I think its an almost perfect ‘Touring” car, Alps, Pyrenees etc, defo keep up with the GT3’s and 296’s on those roads by the sounds of it! 👌👏

[aboyandhisdog]

Maybe I missed it, but how does the hybrid fuel economy stack up? That is the real point of a hybrid, right? What mpg's can a guy expect on the road? Thanks for the review, Lee! -Tom

[gregbrett]

Great review Lee. Looks like it’s made a good impression on you.😊

[markjordan]

Great video as always Lee - new car sounds & looks wicked 👍

[carfan]

It was lovely to watch your sheer amazement and delight at the wheel of this 992.2 t-hybrid 911. I’m relieved to hear your positive comments, not the least of them being the quality of the soundtrack, so essential in any 911. At this point my greatest fear is what will become of the 992.2 GT3. Let’s pray it keeps its NA 4.0 and the option of the 6 speed manual box 🙏 But as you say, we can always trust the Porsche engineers 😎
