Porsche telah memulakan era baharu untuk kereta sport ikonik 911 dengan memperkenalkan 911 Carrera GTS baharu, menandakan kemunculan sulung model 911 yang sah di jalan raya dengan sistem hibrid prestasi ‘super’ ringan.

Model Carrera GTS 2025 menggabungkan enjin flat-six klasik yang dipasang di belakang 911 dengan motor elektrik dan pengecas turbo elektrik yang menghasilkan output sebanyak 532hp dan 608Nm tork. Dijadualkan untuk dikeluarkan sebelum akhir tahun, persediaan hibrid ini mewakili peningkatan yang ketara daripada model sebelumnya.

Di bawah hud, Carrera GTS menampilkan enjin flat-six 3.6 liter baharu, menawarkan tork 478hp dan 569Nm—peningkatan lima hp berbanding pendahulunya. Sistem hibrid membolehkan Porsche menggantikan persediaan turbo berkembar dengan pengecas turbo elektrik tunggal, dilengkapi dengan motor 14.7hp untuk tindak balas pantas dan mengurangkan turbo-lag. Selain itu, motor traction 32.6hp dan bateri kecil 1.9-kWh menyumbang kepada prestasi yang dipertingkatkan merentasi julat putaran sambil mengekalkan nisbah bahan api udara yang optimum.

Walaupun terdapat peningkatan berat sebanyak 46kg, sebahagiannya disebabkan oleh peralatan standard tambahan seperti stereng roda belakang, Carrera GTS memberikan pecutan yang luar biasa, mencatatkan masa 0-100km/j dalam masa 2.9 saat—yang pertama untuk model Carrera. Flap aerodinamik aktif baharu di bahagian hadapan, bersama-sama dengan kemas kini penggayaan pada bahagian hadapan dan pilihan roda yang dikemas kini meningkatkan lagi prestasi dan estetika.

Sementara itu, model asas Carrera menerima kemas kini termasuk turbo dan intercooler daripada model GTS dan Turbo sebelumnya menghasilkan peningkatan kuasa sembilan hp.

Di dalam, Carrera GTS menawarkan kluster digital serba baharu yang menggantikan takometer analog, sambil tetap mengutamakan maklumat pemanduan yang penting. Buat pertama kalinya, 911 mempunyai kluster instrumen digital sepenuhnya. Paparan curve 12.6 inci sesuai dengan sempurna ke dalam konsep kawalan dan paparan baharu dan boleh disesuaikan. Ia menawarkan sehingga tujuh paparan, termasuk paparan Klasik eksklusif yang diilhamkan oleh reka bentuk dail Porsche lima tiub tradisional dengan takometer tengah. Sistem Pengurusan Komunikasi Porsche (PCM) masih dikendalikan melalui paparan tengah resolusi tinggi dengan skrin 10.9 inci.

Kedua-dua model asas Carrera dan Carrera GTS menerima kemas kini facelift untuk 2025 dengan kenaikan harga secara menyeluruh. Asas Carrera bermula pada $122,095 (RM573,571), manakala Carrera GTS berharga $166,895 (RM784,030), mencerminkan prestasi yang dipertingkatkan dan teknologi canggih yang ditawarkan oleh model yang diubah suai ini.

Porsche has ushered in a new era for the iconic 911 sports car with the introduction of the new 911 Carrera GTS, marking the debut of a street-legal 911 equipped with a super-lightweight performance hybrid system.

The 2025 Carrera GTS model combines the classic rear-mounted flat-six engine of the 911 with an electric motor and an electric turbocharger, resulting in an impressive output of 532hp and 608Nm of torque. Scheduled for release before the end of the year, this hybrid setup represents a significant upgrade from previous iterations.

Under the hood, the Carrera GTS features a new 3.6-litre flat-six engine, offering 478hp and 569Nm of torque—an increase of five hp compared to its predecessor. The hybrid system enables Porsche to replace the twin-turbo setup with a single electric turbocharger, equipped with a 14.7hp motor for rapid response and minimal turbo lag. Additionally, a 32.6hp traction motor and a small 1.9-kWh battery contribute to enhanced performance across the rev range while maintaining optimal air-fuel ratio.

Despite a weight increase of 46kg, attributed partly to added standard equipment such as rear-wheel steering, the Carrera GTS delivers remarkable acceleration, clocking a sub-3-second 0-100km/h time of 2.9 seconds—a first for a Carrera model. New active aerodynamic flaps at the front, along with styling tweaks to the fascias and updated wheel options, further enhance performance and aesthetics.

Meanwhile, the base Carrera model receives updates including turbos and intercoolers from previous GTS and Turbo models, resulting in a nine-hp increase in power.

Inside, the Carrera GTS boasts an all-new, all-digital gauge cluster, replacing the analog tachometer, while still prioritising essential driving information. For the first time, the 911 has a fully digital instrument cluster. The 12.6-inch curved display fits seamlessly into the new control and display concept and can be extensively customised. It offers up to seven views, including an exclusive Classic display inspired by the traditional five-tube Porsche dial design with a central tachometer. The Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system is still operated via the high-resolution central display with a 10.9-inch screen.

Both the base Carrera and Carrera GTS models receive facelift updates for 2025, with pricing increases across the board. The base Carrera starts at $122,095 (RM573,571), while the Carrera GTS is priced at $166,895 (RM784,030), reflecting the enhanced performance and advanced technology offered by these revamped models.

Porsche has confirmed the recall of several thousand electric Taycan models due to risks associated with their batteries potentially catching fire. The recall was initiated after identifying faulty cells in some batteries that could short-circuit and ignite.

Initially, 858 Taycans were recalled in January, but further checks revealed that additional vehicles could be affected. Porsche has now determined that 2,936 Taycans show anomalies requiring changes to the modules in their batteries. Another 4,522 Taycans have yet to be inspected and will need to be brought to repair shops for verification.
