Turbo S E-Hybrid becomes most powerful model in the Panamera range
PORSCHE With the new Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid, the sports car manufacturer is positioning a plug-in hybrid as the top model in a model series for the first time. The four-liter V8 engine from the Panamera Turbo is combined with an electric motor. The result is a system output of 500 kW/680 hp. Just above idle speed, 850 Nm of torque is available.

Just above idle speed, 850 Nm of torque is available. This ensures acceleration from zero to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 310 km/h. The boost strategy of the all-wheel-drive Panamera comes from the super sports car 918 Spyder. Average consumption in the New European Driving Cycle is 2.9 l/100 km, and the new Panamera top model can travel up to 50 kilometers in pure electric mode.
As in all other second-generation Panamera models, the fast-shifting Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) with eight gears is used to transmit power to the standard adaptive all-wheel drive system Porsche Traction Management (PTM).
The electric motor is powered by a liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery with an energy capacity of 14.1 kWh. Within six hours, the high-voltage battery integrated in the rear area is fully charged via a 230-volt connection with ten amps. With the optional 7.2 kW on-board charger (230-volt connection with 32 amps), the battery is full after just 2.4 hours. Via Porsche Communication Management (PCM) or the Porsche Connect app (for smartphone and Apple Watch), charging can also be started on a time-controlled basis. In addition, the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid is equipped with parking climate control to cool or heat the interior while charging.
The new top model of the second Panamera generation will be launched on the Swiss market in July 2017. From the outset, the four-door Gran Turismo will also be available as an Executive version with a wheelbase extended by 150 millimeters. The Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid will celebrate its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show.
