Porsche is launching the new Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid and the Panamera GTS. The Panamera GTS is a dynamic sports sedan that places the emotional driving experience in the foreground. The Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid is positioned at the very top of the model series as the most powerful, fastest and most luxurious derivative.

This top model is the new record holder in the official ranking of the fastest combustion engine cars and hybrid luxury saloons on the Nürburgring Nordschleife.

Both models are driven by the further developed 4.0-liter biturbo V8 engine that is already used to power the Panamera Turbo E-Hybrid. This engine is prepared for the strict requirements of the Euro 7 emission standard.

Changing from a twin-scroll to a single-scroll turbocharger shortens the warm-up phase of its catalytic converters. Exhaust gas temperatures of up to 1,000°C and the associated clean combustion, as well as the increase in the mean peak pressure to 140 bar in the combustion chambers, increase the efficiency of the drive, especially in the highly dynamic range.

The 8-speed Porsche dual clutch transmission (PDK) has been fundamentally redesigned. With optimized power-transmitting surfaces and a higher thermal load capacity, it is able to implement the enormous drive torque of the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid.

At Porsche, the Turbo model designation traditionally stands for the pinnacle of performance among the model variants mainly intended for the road. At the same time, the Turbo logo signifies technological leadership in the respective segment. The combination of highly efficient combustion engines and electric powertrain enables particularly powerful drive and exceptional performance.

The new Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid is the most powerful Panamera produced in series so far. Its V8 biturbo engine has an output of 441 kW (599 PS), and the output of the electric motor completely integrated into the housing and into the cooling circuit of the PDK amounts to 140 kW (190 PS). Compared to its predecessor, its system output has been increased by 75 kW (102 PS) to 575 kW (782 PS), and the system torque has risen by 150 N·m to 1,000 N·m.

The Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds and has a top speed of 325 km/h (202 mph). This signifies an enhancement of 25 km/h and 0.5 seconds.

At the same time, the new Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid is efficient to drive. Compared to the previous generation, its hybrid powertrain offers greater electric range, faster charging and more agile responsiveness. With a capacity of 25.9 kWh (gross), the high voltage battery stores 45% more energy than the predecessor battery did. This gives the most powerful Panamera an electric range of up to 88 km (55 miles) (WLTP EAER City).

With an increase in recuperation output to 88 kW, the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid drives more efficiently in the fully electric mode. At a suitable power source, the 11 kW on-board AC charger charges the battery from zero to 100 per cent in around two hours and 39 minutes.

Porsche has equipped the top model of the Panamera series with the Porsche Active Ride suspension as standard. This innovative chassis is coupled with a 400 V high-voltage system and is therefore technically feasible only in the Panamera models with an E-Hybrid drive.

Each shock absorber has an electrically operated hydraulic pump that actively generates forces in the rebound or compression direction. In this way, the suspension almost fully compensates body movements and keeps the car horizontal during dynamic driving manoeuvres. The technology enables innovative functions such as the overcompensation of pitching and rolling motions. It also matches the wheel load distribution to the grip level, thereby optimising the traction.

The comprehensive range of equipment available for the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid also includes all the driving dynamics control systems, rear-axle steering, the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) with 440 millimeter brake discs at the front and a 380 millimeter diameter at the rear, as well as a Bose sound system.

In Germany, prices for the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid start at €229,400 and for the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Executive at €240,700, including VAT and country-specific equipment. Deliveries in Germany will begin in autumn 2024.
