The Porsche 911 Turbo S is the most complete road supercar: fast, refined and usable every day.

Verdict: Buy

The 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S represents the pinnacle of road-going 911s. Its 3.6L twin-turbo boxer engine with a 400 V T-Hybrid system delivers 711 PS and 800 Nm, launching the car from 0-100 km/h in 2.5 seconds. The PTM all-wheel-drive, 8-speed PDK gearbox and PASM suspension work in perfect harmony to deliver driving that is both brutal and refined. Unlike more extreme rivals, the 911 Turbo S can be used as a daily car without sacrificing track performance. The interior combines luxury, technology and ergonomics. It is expensive, but also one of the most accomplished supercars ever built.
