Porsche ’s T-Hybrid system in its latest 911 GTS really is a true game changer.

It's not the same performance-hybrid system you’ve likely seen in other sportscars.

Porsche went hybrid because of environmental restrictions, as the previous internal combustion engine had reached its maximum potential.

Euro 7 emissions restrictions, which go into effect on July 1 , require engines to run a perfectly balanced air-fuel ratio.

The mid-level 911 now starts at $ 166,895—$14,000 over its predecessor.

As the turbo nears its 125,000 rpm redline, the electric motor inside acts as a generator to limit its speed.

Porsche says this juice is then used to assist the engine at high revs where the flat-six is outside of its optimal powerband.
