Porsche 911 Turbo S (992.2)

 






The Turbo S is one of the latest versions of the 992-generation Porsche 911 to receive a mid-cycle refresh. This mid-cycle refresh went into effect for the 2026 model year, with its most significant updates being revised front- and rear-end designs and the adoption of a form of the 992.2 911 Carrera GTS' T-Hybrid system. Powering the most up-to-date 911 Turbo S is a twin-turbo 3.6-liter flat-six paired to an electric motor producing a combined 701 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. The 992.2 911 Turbo S' horsepower figure of 701 is a bump of 61 over that of the 992.1 911 Turbo S. Both an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive are standard on the latest Porsche 911 Turbo S. It launches from zero to 60 mph in close to two seconds, while Porsche claims a top speed of 200 mph for the 992.2 911 Turbo S. This year's mid-cycle refresh on the Turbo S also adds new tires, larger and improved brakes, a new exhaust, improved active aero and engine cooling, and an updated version of the Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control System (PDCC). 




Pricing for the newest Porsche 911 Turbo S starts at $272,650. The example pictured here is the first 992.2 Turbo S that I have seen in person, which occurred at my local Porsche dealer right after the local Porsche Club Cars and Coffee concluded on the 4th of July. This particular vehicle was also the main reason for my latest visit to my local Porsche showroom, as I found out at the PCA Cars and Coffee from the dealership's sales manager that morning that it was in their showroom. This presented my best opportunity to see the latest 911 Turbo S up close for the first time, and things worked out perfectly. While it was already sold and now no longer in the showroom, this specific Turbo S looks fantastic outfitted in an interesting shade of dark green with dark gray wheels and Turbonite Porsche badges. Leading up to the most recent PCA Cars and Coffee and visit to my local Porsche showroom on Saturday, I was informed online that my local dealership also received a different 992.2 Turbo S example at the same time as the one pictured here, which was outfitted in bright red and a different set of wheels. However, the new owner of that other 992.2 Turbo S example picked it up and took it home before I could see it up close, but I was fine with settling for seeing and getting photos of only the example featured in this post. Overall, its significant updates and revisions allow the Turbo S to remain the best all-around version of the Porsche 911.

Best of Porsche Club Cars & Coffee (July 2026)

 The beginning of a new month means new editions of recurring monthly cars and coffees, starting with the one hosted by my local Porsche club. Heading into this first cars and coffee of July, since it took place on Independence Day, I lowered my expectations for this meet thinking that not many vehicles would show up for that reason. Fortunately, the turnout at this latest cars and coffee was larger than expected, and there was a greater emphasis and spotlight on cars painted in any shade of red, white, or blue. Like last month's local PCA Cars and Coffee, the field of vehicles on display consisted of over 90 percent Porsches, most of which I have seen at least once before at a previous Porsche Club Cars and Coffee. It was great to see my local Porsche dealership provide a few vehicles to display there as well. As for the non-Porsches that appeared there Saturday morning, the coolest of those consisted of two Ferraris, a Corvette E-Ray, and a Lotus Evora, with one of the Ferraris and the Lotus being specific examples that I do not recall seeing at any other local car show or meet before. In addition, it is worth noting that on my way to this month's PCA Cars and Coffee, I saw a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Gullwing near the meet's location heading the other way. While I was behind the wheel and could not get any photos of it when I saw it, that moment had me thinking that there was a 50/50 chance that that particular SLS AMG made a brief appearance at the most recent Porsche Cars and Coffee, but I may not ever know for sure if that was the case or not. 

Featured in this compilation are the coolest and my favorite cars that took part in the latest Porsche Club Cars and Coffee on the 4th of July. Another great cars and coffee that exceeded my expectations is in the books, and I am glad I got to witness it. Enjoy and stay tuned for content from my next stop after the PCA Cars and Coffee on the 4th of July coming up in the next two posts.
