This refresh brings a few curveballs, a new hybrid GTS variant, sharper styling, and subtle tweaks across the Carrera range. It keeps that classic silhouette but feels more refined, more modern, and unmistakably Porsche. Search &#8220;2025 Porsche 911 specs&#8221; and you\u2019ll find a twin-turbo flat\u2011six or hybrid GTS with enough grunt to shame half the supercar market<\/span> .<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"737\" data-end=\"756\">Pros and Cons<\/h2>\n<h4 data-start=\"757\" data-end=\"767\">Pros<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"770\" data-end=\"827\">Explosive acceleration, especially in the GTS T-Hybrid.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"830\" data-end=\"888\">Keeps the classic 911 steering feel light yet talkative.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"891\" data-end=\"967\">Interior tech finally matches the price tag without feeling too digitised.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 data-start=\"969\" data-end=\"979\">Cons<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"982\" data-end=\"1076\">Entry price nudges $280,000; a top-spec S\/T tops $660,000.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1079\" data-end=\"1149\">Back seats are now an option, making last-minute school runs tricky.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1152\" data-end=\"1214\">Fuel thirst remains real when you enjoy the car as intended.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1221\" data-end=\"1249\">How Much Does It Cost?<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1250\" data-end=\"1622\">The <strong>2025 Porsche 911<\/strong> price ladder starts at <strong data-start=\"1294\" data-end=\"1306\">$277,800<\/strong> for a rear-drive Carrera coupe and soars to <strong data-start=\"1351\" data-end=\"1363\">$660,500<\/strong> for the limited-run S\/T. Everyday sweet spots sit between <strong>$381,000 and $438,000<\/strong> for the new Carrera GTS line-up, now packing that electrified punch. On-road costs and personalisation will, of course, inflate those numbers.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1629\" data-end=\"1656\">Features and Benefits<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1657\" data-end=\"2020\">Even the \u201cbase\u201d <strong>911<\/strong> serves up adaptive dampers, staggered 20\/21-inch wheels, a curved 12.65-inch instrument screen, and wireless Apple CarPlay. Step into the GTS and Porsche layers on the Sport Chrono pack, rear-axle steering, and a party-piece electric turbo that spools in eerie silence then hurls you toward the redline.<\/p>\n<h2>Safety<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2040\" data-end=\"2378\">For a sports car that has never worn an ANCAP star, the 2025 model adds plenty of electronic armour: ParkAssist with reversing camera, Lane-Keeping Assist, fatigue detection, traffic-sign recognition, and clever Matrix LED headlights with 64,000 pixels that carve out light around oncoming traffic.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2385\" data-end=\"2404\">Running Costs<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2405\" data-end=\"2766\">Porsche quotes <strong data-start=\"2420\" data-end=\"2437\">11.0 L\/100 km<\/strong> for the GTS T-Hybrid on the combined cycle, while the Carrera sits in the high nines when driven gently, if you can resist its urges. Service intervals remain 12 months\/15,000 km, and parts prices stay firmly in prestige territory, though fixed-price servicing helps keep surprises at bay.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2773\" data-end=\"2808\">Comparison To Its Competitors<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"2811\" data-end=\"2940\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorscout.com.au\/model\/chevrolet-corvette\"><strong data-start=\"2811\" data-end=\"2842\">Chevrolet Corvette Stingray<\/strong><\/a>: mid-engine charisma for roughly $175,000, but cabin polish and badge cachet still trail the 911.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2943\" data-end=\"3068\"><strong data-start=\"2943\" data-end=\"2962\">Mercedes-AMG GT<\/strong>: front-mid V8 thunder and similar money to a Carrera S; heavier and less communicative on a tight road.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3071\" data-end=\"3333\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorscout.com.au\/model\/audi-r8\"><strong data-start=\"3071\" data-end=\"3082\">Audi R8<\/strong><\/a>: now out of production, but late-run V10s undercut a Turbo S while serving exotic noise; technology and fuel use feel dated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In short, no rival blends daily civility, brand equity, and track stamina as convincingly as the <strong>2025<\/strong> <strong>Porsche 911<\/strong> models.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"auto\" data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Unleashing the Future: 2025 Porsche 911 GTS T-Hybrid Revealed!<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"2025 Porsche 911 GTS T-Hybrid Review: THE INSANE HYBRID!!\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1dR3nB7WKt4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"3340\" data-end=\"3356\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3357\" data-end=\"3822\">The <strong>2025 Porsche 911<\/strong> review in a sentence: Stuttgart tweaked everything that mattered and left alone everything that made enthusiasts love the car in the first place. The hybrid GTS proves electrification can enhance rather than dilute driver involvement, while the Carrera continues to be the purist\u2019s pick for those who value balance over outright brute force. Yes, the <strong>Porsche 911<\/strong> price has crept north, but the breadth of talent on offer still feels peerless.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"3829\" data-end=\"3851\">Rating: 9\/10<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3852\" data-end=\"4169\">The new <strong>911<\/strong> earns top marks for performance, steering purity, and an interior finally worthy of its showroom sticker. One point vanishes for escalating costs and the optional back seat, yet the car\u2019s rounded brilliance means that for many enthusiasts, the search for the perfect sports car ends right here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meet the 2025 Porsche 911, now selling down under and ready to blind pass every SUV in your rear-view mirror.
