Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid becomes the strongest model in the family

Porsche continues to achieve high levels of performance over the long term. The new Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid sees the sports car manufacturer launch a plug-in hybrid model as the flagship of a model line for the first time. The 4.0-litre V8 engine from the Panamera Turbo is combined with an electric motor, resulting in 680bhp of system power. Even when just above idle speed, the Panamera Turbo offers 850Nm of torque and accelerates from 0-100km/h in 3.4 seconds, on to a top speed of 310km/h.

Performance, comfort and efficiency form a perfect three-way combination. The Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid starts in the purely electric E-Power mode as standard, and the four-door sports car drives locally over a distance of up to 50km with zero emissions. When a specific pressure point is passed in the accelerator pedal, or when the battery charge level drops below a minimum value, the Panamera switches to Hybrid Auto mode, at which point the power of both engines is available.

The new flagship of the second generation Panamera will be launched by the end of 2017. The Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid is celebrating its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show from 7^th to 19^th March 2017. From the very beginning, the four-door gran turismo will also be offered in an Executive version, with a wheelbase extended by 150mm.
