On Tuesday, Porsche unveiled its first-ever production hybrid version of the iconic 911 sports car, priced at $164,900.

The 2025 911 Carrera GTS hybrid represents a major shift in the German sports car industry as the automotive industry moves towards more electric vehicles and stricter fuel economy regulations.

The company's executives have stated that the 911 will not have an all-electric variant if it is ever produced, in order to preserve the car's renowned driving dynamics, which they claim are maintained by the hybrid version.

"Frank Moser, Porsche vice president of the 911 and 718 model lines, stated in a release that we devised and evaluated numerous concepts and strategies to determine the optimal hybrid system for the 911. The resulting powertrain seamlessly integrates into the overall design and substantially improves performance."

The new 911 Carrera GTS can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds, which is 0.3 seconds quicker than the previous non-hybrid GTS model, and reach a top track speed of 194 mph. It is powered by a new 3.6-liter boxer hybrid engine that produces 532 horsepower and 449 foot-pounds of torque.

The 911 Carrera GTS hybrid will be available as a coupe starting at $164,900, while a convertible, or cabriolet, version will start at $178,200. Both are available in rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations.

Dealers in the U.S. can now order hybrid models, with expected deliveries by the end of this year.

Porsche has recently expanded its lineup to include more hybrid vehicles, despite slower-than-expected adoption of all-electric vehicles. Its current electrified offerings include six plug-in hybrid Cayenne models, three Panamera plug-in hybrid models, and 10 all-electric Taycan models. Additionally, Porsche has utilized hybrid engines in racing, such as with the 911.

Porsche aims to sell at least 80% of its vehicles worldwide as partially or fully electric by 2030, based on customer demand.

On Tuesday, Porsche unveiled its hybrid model alongside an updated lineup of 911 sports cars for the 2025 model-year. These vehicles will be available in U.S. showrooms starting in the fall. The non-hybrid vehicles range from approximately $120,000 to over $241,000 for a 911 GT3 R.

The 2025 911 has been updated with a new exterior and interior design, including a fully digital driver instrument cluster, enhanced engine performance, and enhanced standard equipment such as rear axle steering for improved stability.

In the first quarter of 2023, Porsche sold 77,640 vehicles worldwide, a 4% decrease from the previous year. Meanwhile, sales of 911 vehicles in the U.S. increased by 30% compared to the first quarter of 2023.
