Porsche 911

Powerful updated 992-gen 911 gets hybrid power with sensational performance but carries a few extra kilos

The Porsche 911 has had a mid-life refresh and the big news is that the upper-mid-level (there are many levels to the 911 range) Carrera GTS is now a hybrid.You can imagine the reaction when Porsche first said it was going to hybridise its icon and the online fury at the potential of a two-tonne, pluggable 911. Only it turns out that it’s neither two tonnes, nor pluggable. In fact, it remains at quite a reasonable 1595kg, even if there are a few caveats to that figure.Then again, with its added complexity, might the GTS be in danger of losing its status as the sweet spot of the 911 range?Let’s take a look at the changes for the facelifted 911 (the 992.2, as Porsche people like to say) and see if it is still one of the best sports cars on the market. We’ve driven the GTS on road and track abroad, and the standard Carrera on UK roads.
