Porsche 911 (992.2) facelift now in Malaysia – hybrid power, from RM1.43 million
The 2025 Porsche 911 (992.2) facelift has officially arrived in Malaysia, bringing significant updates, including hybrid-assisted performance for the first time in the model’s history. The new 911 Carrera range starts from RM1.43 million for the base Carrera, while the Carrera 4 GTS debuts a 3.6-litre T-Hybrid powertrain.
Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS
Leading the facelifted Porsche 911 lineup is the Carrera 4 GTS, which debuts a new 3.6-litre twin-turbo flat-six engine. This marks an increase in displacement from the previous 3.0-litre unit, achieved through a larger bore and stroke of 97 mm and 81 mm, respectively.
The real game-changer is Porsche’s T-Hybrid system, which integrates an electrically-assisted turbocharger and a 54 PS/150 Nm electric motor within the eight-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission. The hybrid system is powered by a 400V, 1.9 kWh (gross) battery, mounted at the front of the car.
Key Performance Figures:
- Total Output: 540 PS / 610 Nm
- 0-100 km/h: 3.0 seconds
- Top Speed: 312 km/h
- Electric Turbocharger: Eliminates turbo lag, improves response
- Rear-Wheel Steering: Standard for the first time on the Carrera 4 GTS
The electrified turbo replaces the traditional twin-turbo setup, eliminating the need for a wastegate. This setup also allows the turbocharger to act as a generator, recovering up to 11 kW from exhaust gases—similar to the MGU-H system in Formula 1 engines.
To enhance agility and stability, the Carrera 4 GTS comes with rear-wheel steering as standard, along with 10 mm-lowered PASM adaptive suspension. It rides on 20-inch front and 21-inch rear wheels, wrapped in 245/35ZR20 front and 315/30ZR21 rear tyres.

For those who prefer pure internal combustion power, the base Carrera still delivers impressive performance. The 3.0-litre twin-turbo flat-six has been refined to produce 394 PS and 450 Nm, thanks to:

- Turbochargers from the outgoing 992.1 Carrera GTS
Mated to an eight-speed PDK transmission, the 911 Carrera now accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 3.9 seconds (with the Sport Chrono package) and reaches a top speed of 294 km/h.
