When I read the news that the most powerful Porsche 911 Turbo S launched in India, I felt a real jolt. This is not just another facelift — Porsche has brought a seriously upgraded 911 Turbo S to India, priced at an ex-showroom starting figure of ₹3.80 crore. Bookings are open and deliveries are expected to begin in the second half of 2026. In this article I’ll walk you through what makes this Turbo S the most powerful, what it costs, how it performs, and how it stacks up against rivals.
What Porsche announced and when
Porsche revealed the new 911 Turbo S globally in 2025 and India coverage appeared in mid-November 2025 (reported Nov 11–12, 2025). The model landed in India with an ex-showroom starting price of ₹3.80 crore and bookings are already open. Deliveries in India are slated for the second half of 2026.
I want to be clear: some outlets list slightly different numbers for power and the model year. That’s normal right after a launch. If you’d like, I can pull the official Porsche India release or a dealer brochure to confirm exact final specs and pricing.
Engine, power and why it’s called the most powerful
The headline here is the new electrified 3.6‑litre twin‑turbo flat‑six called the T‑Hybrid. Porsche has added an electrified turbo assist to make the engine respond faster and produce higher peak power.
- Engine: 3.6‑litre twin‑turbo flat‑six with electrified turbo assist (T‑Hybrid)
- Power: reported at around 701–711 hp (different outlets list 701 hp or 711 bhp)
- Torque: about 800 Nm
Because of that power and the car’s sharp launch figures, the new 911 Turbo S is being described as the most powerful 911 Turbo S to reach India so far. I’ve used the phrase India launches the most powerful Porsche 911 Turbo S to reflect how media reported the arrival.
Performance figures and track credentials
If you love numbers, here’s what matters:
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| 0–100 km/h | ≈ 2.5 seconds |
| 0–200 km/h | ≈ 8.4 seconds |
| Top speed | ≈ 322 km/h |
| Nürburgring lap | 7:03.92 (development run) |
That Nürburgring time is especially striking — it’s about 14 seconds faster than the previous Turbo S. That tells me Porsche didn’t only add power; they worked on chassis, brakes, aero and weight to make the whole car faster and more precise.
Chassis, brakes and hardware upgrades
Some of the biggest changes are under the skin. Porsche fit the largest carbon‑ceramic brake discs ever used on a two‑door Porsche: 420 mm front and 410 mm rear. They also introduced a lighter titanium sports exhaust that saves about 6.8 kg. Other key points include:
- 8‑speed dual‑clutch transmission (PDK) with all‑wheel drive (AWD)
- Updated Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) and active aerodynamics
- Wider stance with new centre‑lock wheels and 10 mm wider rear tyres
All these changes help the car use its power efficiently. You notice it in corner speed, braking stability, and highway composure.
Styling, interior and comfort
Visually, the new Turbo S is wider and more aggressive. Porsche uses an active front diffuser and a ducktail spoiler. There’s a new Turbonite bronze‑grey trim applied to exterior and interior accents, which gives it a distinct look.
Inside, you get modern Porsche tech with a driver-oriented digital display, 18‑way Sport Seats Plus with memory, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The coupe is sold as a standard two‑seater (with optional rear seats), while the Cabriolet is offered as a 2+2.
Price, rivals and who this car is for
The headline price for India is an ex-showroom starting at ₹3.80 crore. That places the Turbo S in the same premium bracket as some high‑performance mid‑engined hybrids. Porsche is positioning this 911 Turbo S against rivals like the Ferrari 296 GTB and McLaren Artura in India.
Here’s how I see the buyer profiles:
- If you want raw rear‑engine Porsche character with huge straight‑line speed and real track ability, the 911 Turbo S is ideal.
- If you prefer a mid‑engine exotic with a different driving feel and styling, rivals like the Ferrari 296 GTB or McLaren Artura might appeal more.
- If you value everyday usability with vast performance, the Turbo S delivers a rare blend of comfort and race‑car pace.
Specific examples and real‑world context
To give you context, one of my colleagues drove a previous-generation Turbo S on a closed track and noted how the car felt composed at high speed and forgiving under braking. With the new carbon‑ceramic discs (420/410 mm) and the 6.8 kg lighter exhaust, I expect braking to feel even sharper and the car to rotate more readily through corners.
Another point: Porsche’s reported Nürburgring time of 7:03.92 shows the new Turbo S can run with purpose-made track cars. For many owners in India, that translates into a car that’s not just fast in a straight line but genuinely quick on a twisty road or circuit day.
Small caveats and final confirmation
I should note there are small variations in reporting. Some outlets list the power at 701 hp, others at 711 bhp. Some call the model a 2025 car, others a 2026 model year. These differences are common in initial coverage. If you want absolute precision, I can fetch Porsche India’s official press note or dealer brochure to confirm the exact official power number and whether the quoted ₹3.80 crore is ex‑showroom or includes particular options.

Final Thoughts
When I sum it up: India launches the most powerful Porsche 911 Turbo S is an accurate way to describe this arrival. The new 3.6‑litre T‑Hybrid flat‑six, with about 701–711 hp and 800 Nm, plus the upgraded brakes, lighter exhaust and active chassis tech, makes this one of the quickest and most capable 911 Turbos ever. The ex‑showroom starting price of ₹3.80 crore positions it firmly in the exotic performance market, where it will compete with the likes of the Ferrari 296 GTB and McLaren Artura. If you’re considering one, I can dig up the official Porsche India materials to confirm the final specs and local delivery details.
