2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S Hybrid Test: Hypercar Quick in 0-60 and 1/4 Mile

The 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S is here—it's a hybrid. We tested the new Turbo S with launch control to get its 0-60 mph acceleration time and more. Its performance results rival the quickest supercars and hypercars, including Porsche's first hybrid, the legendary 918 Spyder. Does electric assistance make the 911 better?

Elon Musk released the Cybertruck in December 2023 with an incredible claim: The 845-hp Tesla Cybertruck Beast can tow a Porsche 911 down the drag strip quicker than a 911 alone can make the run. The video was a brilliant stunt to showcase the Cybertruck’s awesome power, but it wasn’t long before people started to question its legitimacy. When Jason Fenske of Engineering Explained figured out that Tesla never ran the quarter mile, we took it on ourselves to find the truth. Borrowing a Cybertruck from Out Of Spec, enlisting the help of Jason, and drawing on MotorTrend's 75 years of automotive testing experience, we staged the race exactly as Tesla presented it, only this time we ran all the way out to 1,320 feet. Can the Tesla Cybertruck really beat a Porsche 911 over the quarter mile? Watch along to find out.

What happens when a British engineering firm turns a Porsche 911 Turbo S into a 920-horsepower hypercar? You get the RML GT Hypercar — a million-dollar, carbon-bodied monster inspired by 1990s Le Mans prototypes and engineered to feel like a factory-built Porsche turned all the way up. In this first test, we drive the wild new RML GTH on both road and track to see whether this ultra-exclusive creation delivers more than just outrageous looks. With active aero, a widened chassis, custom suspension, and a twin-turbo flat-six making 920 hp, the GTH promises GT3 RS handling with Turbo S usability.

Fast wagons are a dying breed. For most, the allure of looking down on the world from on high, with the added benefits of extra cubby space, headroom, and even some added ground clearance and suspension travel has led many would-be waggoneers to stray down the SUV path. But Audi remains dedicated to the wagon cause, and has produced a very special edition of its go fast RS6 model, the GT Avant. Based mostly on the RS6 Avant Performance, which sees power upped from 591-horsepower in the standard RS6 to 621-horsepower, and increasing torque from 590 lb-ft to 627 lb-ft, the IMSA GTO-inspired Avant GT is a masterclass in putting the power down in wagon style.

The 2026 Mercedes-AMG GT63 Pro is the most track-focused AMG GT yet. Powered by a 603-hp twin-turbo V-8, it skips hybrid tech and delivers pure gas performance with 0–60 mph in just 2.8 seconds thanks to 4MATIC+ AWD. With Cup 2R tires, carbon-ceramic brakes, and active suspension, the GT 63 Pro shines on the track—posting a 22.2-second figure-eight lap at 0.98g, even edging out the hybrid GT 63 E Performance. It even comes close to Porsche 911 Turbo S performance while costing significantly less.

We put Rivian’s new midsize electric SUV through the full MotorTrend testing treatment, pushing its acceleration, braking, handling, real-world highway range, and DC fast-charging performance to see whether the R2 lives up to the hype.

The Ferrari 296 GTB is something of a legend in the MotorTrend offices given that it's the quickest rear-wheel-drive production car we've tested to date. The 296 GTB is something of a line in the sand for Ferrari: a mid-engined twin-turbo V-6 with an electric motor. Its halo SF90 may have two more cylinders and three electric motors as opposed to the single one in this, but the 296 has a livability that makes It genuinely compelling
