Porsche has revealed the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid.. Yep, that’s right, the same 4.0-litre V8 from the Panamera Turbo, except now add an electric motor that increases power by 100kW to a whopping 500kW (671hp) and 850Nm! All while returning 2.9L/100km in fuel consumption. It will also complete 0-100km/h in just 3.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 310km/h.. Gee!
The electric motor gains its power through a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 14.1kWh. Six hours = a full charge through a standard 230V connection or 2.5 hours by using an optional 7.2kW on-board charge attached to a 230V connection with 32 A instead of the standard 3.6kW charger.
All-electric mode will get around 50km of range, so nothing to live off. An 8-speed gearbox comes standard along with Porsche’s suspension package. The price? Wait for it.. $460,100 plus on-road-costs.. Might need to take on a few extra shifts lads!
