New Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Revealed

The Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid has been revealed as the range-topping version of the sporty, four-door sedan. This impressive vehicle combines a 599hp, 4.0-litre bi-turbo V8 engine with a 190hp gearbox-mounted electric motor. The total power output of this hybrid powerhouse is 782hp with a staggering 1,000Nm of torque.

Performance Highlights

Porsche claims that this top-spec Panamera can accelerate to 100kph from a standstill in only 2.9 seconds, making it 0.3 seconds faster than the Turbo E-Hybrid. It matches the acceleration prowess of the furious Ferrari 296 GTB.

It can be charged from 0-100% using the standard 11kW AC charger in as little as two hours and 39 minutes. Furthermore, the vehicle boasts a top speed of 325kph, an improvement of 25kph over its predecessor.

Distinctive Design Elements

In comparison to the Panamera GTS, which has been launched in India for Rs 2.34 crore, the Turbo S E-Hybrid features exclusive front and rear bumpers, chrome-plated exhaust tips in Dark Bronze, ceramic brakes sized at 440mm front/380mm rear, a premium Bose sound system, and eye-catching Turbonite (metallic grey) accents both externally and inside the cabin.
