Porsche 911 GTS 2025: Hybrid Hypercar that Sticks to the Fast Lane

### 2025 Porsche 911 GTS Review: The Hybrid Hypercar that Sticks to the Fast Lane The Porsche 911 GTS 2025 is a force to be reckoned with, boasting a 532-hp hybrid powertrain that catapults it to the top of the performance car hierarchy. Its electrified flat-six and dual-clutch gearbox make it a formidable opponent on the track, with a lap time of 2:45.8 at VIR that puts it ahead of the GT3 and 19 other 911 variants. Accessing maximum thrust requires some effort, as the electric motor is only available in brief periods and only when the driver pushes the Sport Response button on the steering wheel. This button press can be a bit of a distraction, as it needs to be pressed seven times per lap. However, the lithium-ion battery never overheated or cut power, and it used only an indicated 25 percent of its capacity. The steering is ...

### 2025 Porsche 911 GTS Review: The Hybrid Hypercar that Sticks to the Fast Lane

The Porsche 911 GTS 2025 is a force to be reckoned with, boasting a 532-hp hybrid powertrain that catapults it to the top of the performance car hierarchy. Its electrified flat-six and dual-clutch gearbox make it a formidable opponent on the track, with a lap time of 2:45.8 at VIR that puts it ahead of the GT3 and 19 other 911 variants.

Accessing maximum thrust requires some effort, as the electric motor is only available in brief periods and only when the driver pushes the Sport Response button on the steering wheel. This button press can be a bit of a distraction, as it needs to be pressed seven times per lap. However, the lithium-ion battery never overheated or cut power, and it used only an indicated 25 percent of its capacity.

The steering is not quite as sharp as the GT3’s, but it’s still among the best in the business, providing high-fidelity feedback at all times. When the rear end steps out of line midcorner, it practically gathers itself up, making it easy to acclimate to. The optional carbon-fiber buckets provide a close connection between human and 911.

The Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport R tires stick at 1.08 g’s, trailing this year’s GT3 on dealer-installed Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2R rubber by just 0.03 g. Porsche officially doesn’t homologate Michelin tires for the GTS, but they will fit and might even help the GTS eclipse the GT3’s lap time.

In conclusion, the 2025 Porsche 911 GTS is a hypercar that sticks to the fast lane, with its hybrid powertrain and exceptional handling making it a formidable opponent on the track. With its impressive performance and ease of use, it’s a must-try for any performance car enthusiast.
