The Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid and Cayenne S Hybrid get their own video in this “Two concepts, one idea: Efficiency” video from Porsche. Both models’ hybrid systems have been developed through the Porsche Intelligent Performance program. At the 2010 Geneva motor show we also saw the Porsche 918 Spyder Concept which also combines traditional fuel technology with an electric motor. See more of the 911 GT3 R Hybrid and Cayenne S Hybrid models in the video.

The Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid will debut at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show, but only as a virtual presence before its real official debut at the Nurburgring 24 hours. The 911 GT3 R Hybrid is purely a race car with amazing power of its own, subsequently increased in an electric motor booster, with energy recovery during braking sent to the front wheels for all wheel drive.

The hybrid version is based on the GT3 R and will also be equipped with the flat six, four-litre engine with 480 hp. The space originally dedicated to the passenger will be replaced by a flywheel which collects and generates the energy saved in braking, which then distributes it to two motors in the bonnet.

The additional power can be measured as 60 kW for each motor, and is activated by pressing a button on the steering wheel. An extra 160 hp is then produced for a time between six and eight seconds. The KERS flywheel system also keeps fuel consumption down, reducing the need for refilling.

The four videos of the new Porsche 911 Turbo S, which will be presented at the 2010 Geneva motor show, take up the themes of performance, personality, responsibility and history. The last theme continues Porsche’s 60 year history videos of the Panamera, and retraces the history of the model from its birth in 1993 with the Turbo S based on the Porsche 964.

The current Turbo S will be the top range turbo for Porsche with its 3.8 twin turbo engine at 530 hp and 700 Nm of torque. Direct injection guarantees low fuel consumption achieving 9 km for every litre. We put the performance video first, but see the other three 911 Turbo S videos after the jump.

The first pics of the 2011 Porsche 911 Turbo S have been released, showing the most powerful 911 Turbo built so far. It will have its official debut at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show in March, before sales start in May. Previous versions of the 993 and 996 have used the Turbo S badge in limited production versions, but this time it will be a permanent addition at the top of the range for the last years of the 997.

The Porsche 911 Turbo S is equipped with the twin-turbo, 3.8-litre flat six engine, with 523 hp. That’s increase from 493 hp, and the torque output is now a huge 700 Nm. Impressively, this 911 Turbo S respects Euro 6 anti-pollution norms and Porsche claims an 8.8 km run on one litre of fuel. Other performance features include acceleration to 100 km/hr in just 3.3 seconds and top speed is 325 km/hr.

The new 911 turbo model is equipped with a seven-speed PDK dual-clutch gearbox (thankfully with steering wheel paddles) and traction management system. Included is also Porsche’s Torque Vectoring System with limited-slip differential. The Sport Chrono chassis package also provides launch control and dynamic engine mounts. Optional features on other Porsche models appear as standard here, with ceramic brakes, sport seats and 19-inch RS Spyder alloys also included. Prices will start at 173,241 euros for the coupe model and 184,546 euros for the cabrio.

Here’s the Porsche 911 GT3 R officially presented at the Autosport International Show in Birmingham. The 911 GT3 R is a race-use only Porsche, in line with FIA GT rules, and includes modifications on the GT3 Cup, which in turn was based on the GT3 RS “standard” model. The GT3 R has a flat-six, 4.0-litre engine replacing the 3.8. It has 480 hp and a reduced weight of 1,200 kg.

The GT3 R has sports ABS, traction control and transmission assistance to avoid the rear wheels blocking when going up the gears. Changes to the aerodynamics are part of the package and include a huge rear spoiler, and the car is also fitted with adjustable SACHS suspension. The Porsche 911 GT3 R will cost about 279,000 euros, taxes excluded. It will be available in spring.

The 9ff GT9-R tuning of the Porsche 911 increases power to a whopping 1120 hp! This means we get acceleration to 100 km/hr in just 2.9 seconds, 300 km/hr is reached in 15.8, and the top speed hits 414 km/hr. 9ff has achieved this by taking the six cylinder boxer biturbo to four litres.

Production will be limited to just 20 units, and “less” extreme versions of 987 hp and 750 hp will also be available. The latter will have a Tiptronic, five-speed gearbox, although it can still reach 300 km/hr in 20 seconds. Each GT9 will be made on the basis of the customer’s specifications, meaning no car will be the same. See the 9ff GT9 gallery below.

It’s a corny video so it might not have quite the intended impact on Porsche 911 fans, but here’s a mini film in which we see the Nissan GTR pick off the 911 in a race, the winner of which gets the inheritance. It looks like a fun drive around the estate and this time round, you could do worse than be the butler.

The new Porsche 911 Turbo track presentation video shows the new Porsche get around the Estoril track in Portugal. I love the fact that the video cuts from the dash without the driver’s seatbelt on, to the car pulling away. We can’t get enough of the Porsche 911 Turbo and in case you can’t either, check out the video.

Porsche has released new images of the 911 Turbo restyling, and you can see it in more detail in the 911 Turbo video from the head of the R&D division. The Porsche 911 Turbo also, more attractively, recently completed the Nurburgring in 7’39”. The Turbo 911 will go on sale from the end of this year, with prices at 149,282 euros for the coupe and 160,562 euros for the cabrio.

Porsche gives us a close-up tour of its new 911 Turbo in this video, where you can see the 3.9-litre engine up close. It delivers 500 hp and 650 Nm of torque in what Wolfgang Durheimer from the R&D division describes as the highlight in the Porsche model range. If you’re interested in the engine technology, this is a video to watch.

It also gives us an idea of performance, efficiency and weight reduction for driving dynamics (the rear wheels alone save two kilograms each of weight). The new 911 Turbo is definitely one very sweet package from Porsche, with everything we like best about smart and sensible German sportscar technology. Whether you drive it sensibly is up to you and that’s the beauty of it.

A new video of the Porsche 911 Sport Classic shows the design concepts in greater detail, from the front apron, to the modern interpretation of the wheel style and the new interior. It is intended for collectors only, and is described as a “concept car you can buy”. Before the Sport Classic close-up we see a 911 Turbo cabriolet driving the wet roads of Germany.

In these pics the 911 Sport Classic is pictured with the 1973 Carrera 2.7 RS, and although the racing solutions of the latter have inspired the GT3 and GT3 RS, this 911 is still a classic. Who would have thought one rear spoiler could be so beautiful? This is pure Porsche tradition, no Panamera’s or Cayenne’s in sight.

The 911 Sport Classic is equipped with the 3.8-litre DFI boxer engine which now has 408 hp thanks to a new intake and engine management system. It will appear at the Frankfurt motor show soon, and will be made in a limited edition of 250 models. It’s already being controversial given its price tag of about 200,000 euros, taxes included. One for collectors only.
