Fifty years after the Turbo shook the sports-car world, hybrid power is ready to redefine the Porsche 911.

This four-door version of the Porsche 911, the Porsche Panamera, was updated for 2024 with subtle design changes but major upgrades to power and performance

The Porsche 911 entered the hybrid era for the 2025 model year, but it hasn’t given up the keys to its old place in the gas-powered era. In fact, the latest 911 in the family looks directly to that past for inspiration.

The Porsche 911 is the quintessential two-door, four-seat sports car. It is the undisputed benchmark in this shrinking segment, and the model all others must beat.

In 1967, the primordial Porsche 911 Carrera T was free of luxuries such as electronic fuel injection, power windows, and headrests. Its roughly $6000 price tag made it reasonable. The 110 horsepower from its air-cooled flat-six engine made it gentle.
