During the presentation of its semi-annual results, Porsche unveiled two unexpected announcements.
The first is the imminent arrival of a Porsche 911 Turbo S hybrid. This is a logical decision as hybridization can greatly benefit this Premium GT. More surprisingly, the German manufacturer announced the development of an entirely new compact SUV with a thermal engine for 2028. In a context of rapid electrification, the German brand is skillfully playing the card of technological diversity.
An electrified Turbo S, but more radical than ever
After electrifying the GTS version of the 911 with a mild hybrid powertrain, Porsche is set to apply the same, but spicier, recipe to its formidable Turbo S. This model, which has not yet been updated unlike the rest of the range, will be presented by the end of the year before hitting the market in 2026.
The T-Hybrid system introduced on the GTS adds 54 hp and 110 Nm thanks to electrical assistance that includes an electric turbocharger. Applied to the Turbo S, this setup could boost the total power to nearly 700 horsepower, up from the current 640. The weight penalty would remain moderate, around 45 kg, helping to preserve even more impressive performance.
The thermal SUV to please a certain Porsche clientele
While the thermal Macan is still available in the United States, it has already disappeared from the European catalog, replaced by the Macan EV. However, Porsche confirms that an entirely new thermal model will take its place in 2028. This will not simply be a facelift but a completely new SUV, likely based on the next-generation Audi Q5 platform.

This future model could also introduce a new name in the lineup. It would provide a welcome complement to the 100% electric SUVs, for markets where the demand for thermal engines remains strong.
Finally, Porsche also confirmed that the electric Boxster and Cayman, initially expected earlier, will be launched after the introduction of the Cayenne EV scheduled for 2026. Patience, then, for fans of battery-powered sports cars.
