2012 Porsche Panamera S Hybrid - Click on above for high-res image gallery
I had been anticipating the pre-dawn run to your airport to get a couple of days. Obtaining spent the week using a Porsche Panamera Turbo, full using the torque-boosting Sport Chrono pack (yes, that a single), the blast to SFO was a fitting sendoff. It was also correctly timed.I was boarding a marathon flight to Austria for the international launch from the Panamera S Hybrid, and right after 7 days with all the Turbo, I was smitten. And concerned.
While the 500 horsepower and 568 pound-feet of torque from your boosted V8 proved the previous adage about absolute electrical power corrupting completely, it had been the completeness from the Panamera package deal that left me slack-jawed. Once the Stuttgart brain-trust puts its head to a thing, they get it done correct. Search no even more than fifty percent a century of rear-engined evolution along with the much-maligned, but incredibly capable Cayenne. Now add the Panamera to that checklist. Its sheetmetal might not match your tastes, but Porsche managed to build the very best driving high end sedan in the marketplace. But a hybrid? They'd greater not screw this up.
Porsche is calling this the world's quickest creation hybrid along with the most economical Porker of all time. Using a 0-60 mph time of 5.seven seconds along with a top rated speed of 168 mph, Porsche nailed the numbers for swift and rapidly. But having a beginning price of $95,000, the "economical" claim is difficult to swallow.
