The new Panamera S Hybrid marks a new chapter in Porsche
Intelligent Performance. Without sacrificing sportiness and elegance, the new Gran Turismo combines a total
power output of 279 kW with best case fuel consumption of 6.8 L/100 km based on the NEDC. That equates to
CO2 emissions of just 159 g/km.
These figures do not only make the Panamera S Hybrid the most economical Porsche of all time, it also
puts it ahead of all the hybrid production vehicles in the luxury car class when it comes to fuel
consumption and CO2 emissions.
This is achieved by combining Porsche hybrid technology with Michelin’s even lower rolling resistance
tyres developed specially for the Panamera which are available as an option. But even with the standard
tyres, the new Porsche hybrid model’s fuel consumption is at a low level for the luxury car class at 7.1
L/100 km based on the NEDC – which equates to 167 g/km CO2.
The Panamera S Hybrid sets new standards, both in terms of classic performance and when measured
against hybrid vehicle characteristics. The Panamera Hybrid accelerates from a standing start to 100 km/h
in 6.0 seconds on its way to a 270 km/h top speed. The range in purely electric mode is approximately two
kilometres only with electric driving possible up to 85 km/h, depending on driving conditions.
The Porsche hybrid drive is also the only system in the world able to exploit additional consumption
reserves thanks to so-called "sailing" on freeways. This entails disengaging and switching off the engine
at speeds of up to 165 km/h (Cayenne S Hybrid: 156 km/h) during phases when no power is being
delivered.
The Panamera S Hybrid is driven by the same engine combination that has already proved itself in the
Cayenne S Hybrid: The main propulsion is provided by a 3.0 litre V6 supercharged engine delivering 245
kW, supported by a 34 kW electric motor. Both power sources are capable of moving the Panamera S Hybrid
either alone or in combination.
The electric motor also operates both as a generator and a starter. Together with the separating
clutch it forms the compact hybrid module located between the combustion engine and the transmission. The
electric motor is connected to a nickel metal hydride battery (NiMh) where the electrical energy
recovered from braking and driving is stored. Power transmission is handled by the familiar eight-speed
Tiptronic S fitted as standard in the Cayenne models with a wide spread of ratios.

The new Gran Turismo also features the Cayenne S Hybrid’s innovative display screen in the centre console
which provides the driver with all the relevant information about the Panamera’s hybrid driving status.
With the new hybrid variant, the Panamera model line now comprises six different models. This offering
underlines the strategic importance of “Porsche Intelligent Performance” and provides a luxury car for all
occasions – from super sporty with the Panamera Turbo to so-called environmentally-friendly with the
Panamera S Hybrid.
