A hybrid 911?! How could Porsche possibly put hybrid bits into a tried and tested recipe like that? Quite easily, as it happens, and it's there not to tease out as many MPG as possible, but to make the 911 incredibly fast. How does it stack up against a more traditional 911? There's only one way to find out: very legitimate, very scientific head to head testing. Join John Marcar and Alex Goy as they champion a 992.2 911 GTS Hybrid-T and a 911 Carrera S to see whether the more traditional car can beat out the more technically advanced one. The result may surprise you. Porsche 911 Carrera S or GTS T-Hybrid? In this episode Alex Goy and John Marcar spend a full day on British roads to decide which modern 992.2 911 is the one to buy. We cover what changes with the updated Carrera S, how the GTS T-Hybrid’s electric boost actually works, why both cars feel different on real tarmac, and where each shines for daily use and weekend fun. Expect clear chat on steering feel, brake performance, chassis balance, road noise, comfort, seats and options, plus the headline numbers that matter. The GTS T-Hybrid gets a 3.6 litre flat six with an electric turbo and an e-motor in the PDK for instant shove, quoted at 0 to 62 mph in 3.0 seconds, top speed on the fun side of 190 mph, and lightest form just under 1,600 kg. The Carrera S runs a 3.0 litre twin-turbo flat six with no hybrid assistance, lighter again at the kerb, and still rapid at a quoted 0 to 62 mph in 3.3 seconds and 191 mph. We compare real-world acceleration, laugh-out-loud moments, motorway manners, fuel and refinement, bucket seats versus comfort seats, rear seats usefulness, Burmester stereo, and the value question. By the end you will know which spec suits your head and which one tugs at your heart.
