It features a cutting-edge T-Hybrid system producing 398 kW (541 PS) for dynamic performance, alongside nostalgic touches like the bold Pascha interior pattern and a unique Olive Neo exterior color, both nods to Porsche’s 1970s-1980s design era.
The debut was perfectly staged in a display modeled after the Porsche Museum workshop, featuring nine classic models as a historical backdrop.
911 GT3: Back in China with More Power and Precision
Marking its return to the Chinese market, the new 911 GT3 was also revealed at the show. This motorsport-bred variant boasts a naturally aspirated 375 kW (510 PS) engine and is built for track and road thrill-seekers alike.
It now includes thoughtful additions like a helmet-friendly removable headrest and enhanced customization options. Also debuting is the 911 GT3 Touring, offering a sleeker, wingless alternative for purists who favor understated performance.
China-Specific Macan and Cayenne Editions
Porsche also introduced new China-exclusive editions of the Macan and Cayenne. The Passion edition targets urban lifestyles with expanded standard features and trending options, while the Active edition is tailored for off-road adventurers, blending bold design with rugged functionality.
