Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid

 

The Turbo S used to be the top-of-the-line Porsche Panamera, but Porsche has now kicked things up a notch by adding a hybrid powertrain for more power and greater performance over its internal combustion-only counterpart. Motivating the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid is a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 paired to an electric motor producing a combined 690 horsepower and 641 lb-ft of torque, which is mated to an 8-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission. It makes the launch from zero to 60 mph in approximately three seconds and can hit a top speed of 196 mph. The Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid is offered in standard sedan, long-wheelbase Executive, and Sport Turismo wagon forms. A few ways to distinguish the E-Hybrid Panamera models from the non-hybrid models include bright green brake calipers and bright green outlining around the badges. The E-Hybrid models also contain a 17.9-kWh battery with roughly 17 miles of electric driving range. Pricing for the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid starts at $187,700, but can quickly escalate past $200,000 with options. Overall, the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid is an amazing and impressive vehicle, and it is best in Sport Turismo form.
