what stands out to me is how planted the car looks. the suspension doesn’t bounce like a firm suspension would or flop around like a soft suspension would. instead it looks on rails, like a guided missile.
the last time i saw a car drive this way on the ring it was the new Taycan with ACTIVE RIDE electromagnetic suspension.
i am going to venture a guess that this Turbo Hybrid is getting the same suspension, which requires a high voltage hybrid battery to power it.
the reason GTS Hybrid didn’t get it is probably because it wasn’t expensive enough.
although i never rode in a car with this new type of suspension the benefits are not hard to understand - it’s a complete game changer. it allows the car to handle like a race car while riding like a rolls royce at the same time because it basically replaces physics with software turning the ride into a video game.
the 911 Turbo is really a perfect car to put that type of suspension in IMHO because it has that dual mission of being a daily driver and a sports car in one.
assuming this 911 Turbo Hybrid is the same basic car as the already announced GTS Hybrid but with a power bump and Active Ride suspension then i recommend it, as far as ICE cars go.
it may not be as quick as the plaid but it should have shorter stopping distance due to being lighter, as well as better build quality and with the Active Ride suspension - better ride and handling as well.
if the only difference between Turbo and Turbo S will be a power bump and standard PCCB ( Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes ) brakes i would save the money and skip the S because while that PCCB is a must on the track in real life you probably don’t need it. and the extra power is also something that is frivolous.
on other hand the Active Ride is definitely something i would want because the benefit will be apparent in even the most casual driving.
of course this is all speculation. we don’t have an official announcement that i know of.
