The 2025 Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid and Panamera GTS

Stuttgart, July 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Porsche Panamera has redefined the luxury sedan segment. It combines a high level of driving comfort with the properties of a Porsche sports car in a unique way. Now two charismatic new variants have been added to the model range. These are cars with different priorities: the Panamera GTS is a dynamic sports sedan that places a particular emphasis on the emotional driving experience. The Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid is positioned at the very top of the model range 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 and hybrid luxury sedans on the Nürburgring Nordschleife.

Both models are powered by the further developed 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine that is already used in the latest Panamera Turbo E-Hybrid. Changing from a twin-scroll to a single-scroll turbocharger and an increase in the average peak pressure to 140 bar in the combustion chambers aim to optimize the efficiency of the powertrain, especially at higher loads and engine speeds. The 8-speed Porsche dual clutch transmission (PDK) has been significantly improved. With optimized power-transmitting surfaces and a higher thermal load capacity, it is able to harness the enormous torque of the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid.

The most powerful Panamera: Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid
At Porsche, the Turbo model designation traditionally stands for the pinnacle of performance among the road-focused model variants. At the same time, the Turbo logo exemplifies technological leadership in the respective segment. The combination of powerful combustion engines and an electric powertrain enables particularly strong acceleration and exceptional performance.

The new Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid is the most powerful production Panamera produced so far. Its V8 twin-turbo engine develops an output of 441 kW (591 hp), and the output of the electric motor completely integrated into the housing and into the cooling circuit of the PDK amounts to 140 kW (187 hp). Compared to its predecessor, its system output has been increased by 81 hp to 575 kW (771 hp), and the system torque has risen by 96 lb.-ft. to 737 lb.-ft. The Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid accelerates from zero to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds and has a top track speed of 202 mph. This represents an improvement of 8 mph in top track speed and a reduction of 0.2 seconds in acceleration compared to the previous Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid model.
