The 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet was among the highlights of Porsche’s display at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2026, where we had the opportunity to get up close with the brand’s most powerful production 911.
Although the model has been on sale since late 2025, Goodwood gave us a chance to see Porsche’s new T-Hybrid flagship finished in the Aventurine Green Metallic shade with a black convertible soft top.
The biggest change for the latest Turbo S is the introduction of Porsche’s Twin-Turbo Performance Hybrid system.
The 3.6-litre flat-six is paired with two electrically assisted turbochargers and an electric motor integrated into the eight-speed PDK transmission, producing a combined 711 PS (523 kW) and 800 Nm.
Power is sent to all four wheels through Porsche Traction Management (PTM), enabling a claimed 0-100 km/h time of 2.5 seconds and a top speed of 322 km/h.
Unlike the 911 Carrera GTS, which introduced T-Hybrid technology with a single electrically assisted turbocharger, the Turbo S adopts two electric turbochargers. A lightweight 1.9 kWh, 400-volt battery supports the hybrid system, increasing output by 61 PS over the previous Turbo S while improving throttle response across the rev range.
Porsche has also revised the chassis and aerodynamics. Electro-hydraulic Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (ehPDCC) is fitted as standard, while active cooling flaps, an active front diffuser and an adaptive rear wing work together to improve cooling and aerodynamic efficiency.
During development, Porsche recorded a Nürburgring Nordschleife lap time that was around 14 seconds quicker than the previous-generation Turbo S.
Further upgrades include larger Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake discs measuring 420 mm at the front and 410 mm at the rear, wider rear tyres and a titanium sports exhaust system. Inside, the Cabriolet features Turbonite accents exclusive to Turbo models, Adaptive 18-way Sports Seats Plus and HD Matrix LED headlights as standard.
The 911 Turbo S Cabriolet is already on sale across Europe, with prices starting from €285,200 before market-specific taxes and equipment. Deliveries began in early 2026 following the model’s world premiere at IAA Mobility 2025.
