Overview

The Porsche 911 has reinvented itself continually over more than six decades, adapting its rear-engine blueprint and preserving its identity through its modernization process into the 21st century. For the 2025 Porsche 911, the sports car is designated 992.2 to signify that it’s entered the second phase of the 992 generation, and with it comes a brand-new T-Hybrid powertrain in the GTS. In this review, we cover the Carrera, Carrera S, Carrera T, and GTS variants, as the GT and Turbo cars are reviewed separately. How does the revitalized 911 shape up against rivals such as the Chevrolet Corvette and Mercedes-AMG GT?

What's New for 2025?

The 2025 911 sees several major changes, starting with the T-Hybrid powertrain in the GTS, which features a 3.6-liter boxer six-cylinder engine, an electrically assisted turbocharger, a 54-hp electric motor, and a 400-volt battery. The base Carrera’s 3.0L flat six is also redeveloped and now produces 388 hp - 9 hp more than before.

The exterior is refreshed with new bumpers, front and rear lights, aerodynamic aids, and mirrors, and new wheel designs are added. The five vertical louvers on either side of the GTS’s front intake are especially distinctive. In the cabin, a 12.6-inch digital gauge cluster debuts. Last of all, the lightweight Carrera T trim with its six-speed manual transmission returns, and now it’s available as a cabriolet as well.

Exterior

The silhouette remains as iconically and unmistakably 911 as ever, with the sloping roofline terminating in those wide rear haunches. The redesigned rear light bar incorporates the “PORSCHE” script. The coupe is 178.8 inches long, sitting on a 96.5-inch wheelbase. Width comes in at 72.9 inches, and height is just 51.1 inches. Carbriolet and Targa body styles are also offered.

Interior

The cabin is made from premium materials and is very driver-centered, with the big news this year being the replacement of analog gauges by a brand-new, all-digital 12.6-inch gauge cluster display screen. In the center, a 10.9-inch Porsche Communication Management touchscreen supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while there’s a wireless charging pad in the center console tray. The 911 seats two, but 2+2 seating with small rear seats is available at no cost. The frunk in the nose has a volume of only 4.66 cu-ft.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

Cons:

• Manual transmission is limited to the base engine
• Digital gauge cluster replaces analog tachometer

Verdict

The Porsche 911 still masterfully balances everyday usability and track capability, and may just be the most complete sports car out there, with a model for every type of buyer. With a range of powertrain options, RWD and AWD, and three body styles, it answers every need. The new T-Hybrid GTS is a technological tour de force, and combining the advanced new high-performance powertrain with RWD still gives you that coveted 911 purity. But it comes at a high purchase price of nearly $170K.

Performance is never in question when you buy a 911, and even the slowest Carreras sprint to 60 mph in just over four seconds nowadays, but the GTS cuts that down to under three seconds, which was 911 Turbo territory not too long ago. For maximum driver enjoyment, nothing beats the manual Carrera T, though, even if it’s not as quick as the top dogs. This year’s updates have just made the 911 more desirable, and the digital cockpit has not abandoned its driver-focused philosophy, with the tachometer still taking pride of place in the middle - where it should be in a Porsche.
