Porsche Goes Plug-in Hybrid and Yes, 0-60 in 3.4 Sec
Want to go zero to 60 miles per hour in 3.4 seconds, while still driving a hybrid? Check out Porsche, which is expanding its hybrid range, as a powerful plug-in hybrid now added to the Panamera Sport Turismo model line.
The new Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo flagship model will combine a four-litre V8 engine with an electric motor, resulting in a system power of 500 kW/680 hp.
Even when just above idle speed, the Panamera Turbo offers 850 Nm of torque. This boost strategy used in the series-production all-wheel drive Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo has been modified from the Porsche 918 Spyder super sports car.
This results in a zero to 60 acceleration time in just 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 192mph. The most powerful Sport Turismo has a range of up to 30 miles using solely electric power and therefore short trips produce zero local emissions.
This plug-in hybrid model is also extremely efficient, with New European Driving Cycle results reporting 78miles per gallon! The lithium-ion battery has an energy content of 14.1 kWh and can be charged within 2.4 to 6 hours, depending on the charger and power connection.
While the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo boasts incredible performance and efficiency; its large tailgate, low loading edge, increased luggage compartment volume and a 4+1 seating configuration, means that the new flagship of the model line offers a high standard of everyday practicality.
