When T-Hybrid first showed up in the 911 GTS, a Porsche engineer told Top Gear Netherlands that tuners could simply forget about it. The eTurbos carry no wastegates and answer straight to the hybrid’s control logic, which torches the usual boost-and-pray playbook. The Turbo S inherited that architecture with a second eTurbo bolted on and became the most powerful production 911 ever at 701 hp. And yet somehow, the Brabus 800 is here – a tuned Porsche 911 Turbo S.
The Tune Porsche Said Wasn’t Coming
Brabus calls its answer the PowerXtra P36-800, and it’s not an ECU flash. The package runs through an auxiliary control module that piggybacks the factory brain. This allows the boost to be slightly bumped, and rewrites both the injection and ignition maps.
The flat-six jumps from 632 hp to 719 hp, with engine torque climbing from 561 lb-ft to 634. The electric motor inside the eight-speed PDK stays exactly as Porsche built it – still rated at 70 hp.
System total lands at 789 hp and 664 lb-ft, so all 88 extra horses came from the combustion side.
A Tenth on Either End
Zero to 62 drops from 2.5 seconds to 2.4 in the coupe and 2.6 to 2.5 in the cabriolet, while the 200-mph limiter sits where Porsche left it.
Brabus already has the 900 Rocket R on its shelf, a 1-of-25 widebody good for 887 hp and 211 mph, and it made no run at that here.
Going further means getting into the hybrid hardware, and nobody has done that yet.
Carbon From the Splitter Back
The bodywork is everything you’d expect from a Brabus build. Exposed carbon covers the front splitter, vertical intake louvers, mirror caps, side skirts, a taller wing, and a diffuser framing four fat tailpipes.
The hood is a full carbon panel with the weave on display, and the rear cover wears raised Brabus lettering. Porsche’s active aero still works underneath all of it.
KW-developed springs drop the car up to 25 mm with the factory dampers still in charge, and new center-lock Monoblock ZL Platinum Edition wheels debut here (21s front and 22s rear).
Masterpiece Mode Inside
Bottrop’s atelier wrapped the cabin in black leather with gray piping, and carried its Dynamic Diamond Double quilting across the seat centers, floor mats, and even the cabriolet’s rear bench.
Signature carbon covers the dash, console, wheel, and doors, the footrest glows red, and an NFC plate in the frunk verifies it’s the real deal.

2026 BRABUS 800 Porsche 911 Turbo S
Brabus pulled 789 horsepower out of Porsche’s supposedly untunable hybrid Turbo S without touching the hybrid at all, then buried the thing in carbon.
