This Subtle Porsche 911 May Be Concealing a 701 HP Secret | Carscoops

      A discreet new performance vehicle is on the horizon, combining Porsche’s 700 hp hybrid technology with a subtle design and classic Touring appeal.

      Recent spy shots suggest that this is the forthcoming 911 Turbo Touring, which is based on the latest 911 Turbo S and showcases a more understated exterior.

      While it has a modest appearance, the hybrid model is expected to deliver over 700 hp.

      Porsche recently introduced the updated 911 Turbo S, but additional variants are in development. Spy photographers have captured images of one of these models, believed to be a Turbo Touring Cabriolet.

      Designed to remain inconspicuous, this variant is rumored to have a less aggressive look compared to the new Turbo S. This appears to be true, as the recognizable front end can be seen, albeit partially obscured by a flimsy disguise.

      Significantly, the prototype seems to lack side scoops, with the disguise on the rear quarter panel likely being a clever ruse. Additionally, the prominent rear wing from the Turbo S has been substituted with an active rear spoiler.

      The rear bumper is concealed, leaving its design uncertain. However, this specific prototype features a titanium sport exhaust system.

      Porsche has stated that the Touring name harkens back to the 1973 911 Carrera RS 2.7. In the case of the GT3, it removes the fixed rear wing and adds a Touring badge to the rear.

      This model also includes several minor adjustments, such as an “adapted fin design on the underbody for aerodynamic balance.”

      The Turbo Touring is anticipated to make its debut next year, equipped with a recognizable hybrid powertrain, which includes a 3.6-liter six-cylinder engine paired with two eTurbos. The standard version will also feature an eight-speed PDK transmission with an integrated electric motor powered by a 1.9 kWh battery pack.

      This arrangement allows the 911 Turbo S Cabriolet to achieve a combined output of 701 hp (523 kW / 711 PS) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. It can accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in just 2.5 seconds, complete the quarter mile in 10.5 seconds, and reach a top speed of 200 mph (322 km/h).

      This vehicle seems ideal for refined individuals seeking a high-performance convertible that is understated in its appearance.

      However, potential buyers should be prepared for a substantial price tag, as the standard 911 Turbo S Cabriolet starts at $284,300, plus a $2,350 destination charge.

Recent data reveals that average transaction prices have reached an unprecedented level, largely due to robust sales of electric vehicles (EVs) and increased demand for luxury models, leaving more budget-conscious buyers out of the market. Last month, the average transaction price reached a record $50,080, reflecting a 3.6% increase compared to the previous year and crossing the $50,000 mark for the first time. This surge in prices is attributed to strong sales of EVs and luxury cars. Kelly Blue Book (KBB) highlights that "new-vehicle prices have been steadily increasing for over a year, with the acceleration in recent months." The average transaction price increased by 2.1% from August and 3.6% from the same month last year. Additionally, average manufacturer suggested retail prices (MSRPs) also set a new record at $52,183, marking a 4.2% rise compared to the previous year. The surge in numbers may be partly due to a rush on tax credits for EVs, with KBB estimating that 11.6% of last month’s sales were electric vehicles, also a record. The average transaction price for an EV was $58,124. It's anticipated that sales may decline following the removal of the clean vehicle tax credit, although automakers have started offering substantial incentives themselves. KBB pointed out that automakers allocated 7.4% of average transaction prices toward incentives, approximately $3,700. This figure represents the highest percentage seen this year and has slightly increased from 7.2% in August, maintaining parity with the 7.3% rate from September 2024. Tata, the owner of Jaguar Land Rover, reported the highest average transaction price at $102,096 last month, followed by Mercedes at $75,700 and BMW at $69,924. In contrast, Subaru had the lowest average transaction price at $36,092, just ahead of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance, which recorded $36,547. Erin Keating, executive analyst at Cox Automotive, remarked, “Prices tend to rise over time, and today’s market is a clear indication of that. While many affordable options exist, numerous price-sensitive buyers are opting to either stay inactive or explore the used-vehicle market.” Consequently, the market is being largely supported by wealthier households with access to capital and favorable loan rates, thereby sustaining the higher end of the market. Keating also mentioned that while tariffs are contributing to rising costs, the primary driver of September’s pricing trends was the favorable mix of EVs and luxury vehicles pushing the new-vehicle average transaction price to new heights.
