What's New for 2025?

Buckle up! The 911 gets a midcycle refresh that elevates the 2025 range to the 992.2 chassis designation, except for the carryover Turbo models, which will get their promotion next year (and the carryover GT3 RS, whose future is uncertain). Even the base 2025 911 Carrera sees a price hike of $5,700, because why not, while the Carrera S shoots up by (gulp) $15,100. The much-discussed T-Hybrid powertrain makes its debut in the GTS lineup, pairing a new 3.6-liter flat-6 engine with a single electric turbocharger and a 54-horsepower electric motor for a combined output of 532 hp. The now hybrid-only GTS — available as a coupe, Cabriolet or Targa, but no longer with a manual transmission — is also the only 2025 911 that's easy to tell apart from last year's range, thanks to five articulating vertical louvers on either end of the front fascia that facilitate cooling and efficiency. The Carrera T and GT3 both return for 992.2 duty, the T with a new Cabriolet variant and a mandatory six-speed manual (the seven-speed is gone) and the GT3 with shorter gearing, a newly optional rear seat (Touring only) and a wild $40k price increase. Finally, all 992.2 models get a new 12.7-inch curved digital instrument cluster and a two-seat layout as standard (the traditional rear seat is a no-cost option except on the non-Touring GT3). Oh right, and the traditional left-mounted ignition switch is now a button rather than a twisty knob in all 992.2 models except the GT3.
