Introducing the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid: The Most Powerful Combustion-Engined Porsche Yet
The Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid has just been unveiled as the most potent combustion-engined series-production model ever created by the renowned German automaker. Boasting an impressive 771bhp and 738lb ft of torque from its twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre petrol V8 engine and electric motor, this four-door saloon can accelerate from 0-62mph in a mind-blowing 2.9 seconds – outpacing its predecessor and even matching the Ferrari 296 GTB.
This incredible performance recently led the Turbo S to set a new record for combustion-engined luxury cars at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, clocking in at 7 minutes and 24.17 seconds. This achievement puts it ahead of competitors like the Tesla Model S Plaid Track Pack and even surpasses the previous-generation Panamera by almost six seconds.
In addition to the Turbo S E-Hybrid, Porsche has also introduced the Panamera GTS for those seeking a more engaging driving experience. Without the hybrid system, the GTS focuses on the V8 engine, delivering 493bhp and a 0-62mph time of 3.8 seconds – placing it between the Panamera 4 and 4S in terms of performance.
The Panamera GTS features a more aggressive exhaust system, stiffer anti-roll bars, and a lower ride height for enhanced agility without compromising comfort. Priced at £125,600, the GTS fills the gap between the 4S E-Hybrid and Turbo E-Hybrid models, with the range-topping Turbo S E-Hybrid starting at £168,700.
Enthusiasts can expect deliveries to begin soon, offering a thrilling driving experience that combines power, performance, and luxury in one impressive package.
