Porsche has unveiled that the record-breaking model is the new Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid. The fastest and most powerful Panamera yet is positioned as the range-topper, completing a lineup of four hybrids. The 2025 Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid features a plug-in hybrid powertrain with a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine producing 591 hp, paired with a single electric motor generating 187 hp.
This setup is integrated into a
“significantly improved” eight-speed dual-clutch transmission (PDK). Together,
they deliver a combined output of 771 hp and 999
Nm of torque, surpassing its predecessor by 81 hp and 130 Nm. Interestingly, this power output is higher than the
mechanically-related Porsche Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid, and identical to the new
Bentley Continental GT Speed.
The healthy power boost enables the
Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid to complete the 0-60 mph sprint in 2.8
seconds, before reaching a top speed of 325 km/h. These key
performance figures represent improvements of 0.2 seconds in acceleration and 13 km/h in top speed compared to the equivalent trim of the previous
generation. Similar to the lesser E-Hybrid trims of the Panamera, the Turbo S
benefits from a larger 25.9 kWh battery pack. This enhances its all-electric
range and fast-charging capabilities, although Porsche has not yet disclosed
the EPA estimates.
Visually, the Turbo S E-hybrid looks
identical to the Turbo E-Hybrid, with the exception of the badging on the rear
bumper. It features the same Turbo-specific body kit and 21-inch center-lock
wheels. The Turbonite finish on the wheels, airblades, rear bumper strip, and
interior accents/stitching sets the Turbo-badged Panameras apart from the rest.
The optional carbon fiber Aerokit, comprising a front splitter, airblades, side
skirts, gurney flap on the rear spoiler, and rear diffuser, not only enhances
aesthetics but also increases downforce by 60 kg at speeds of 200 km/h. This setup was equipped on the vehicle that achieved the 7:24.17
Nürburgring lap time, along with the optional Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires.
The Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid is equipped
as standard with Porsche Active Ride suspension, which includes an
electrically-operated hydraulic pump for each shock absorber. It also features
rear-axle steering and Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB), boasting 440 mm
(17.3 inches) discs at the front and 410 mm (16.1 inches) discs at the rear. The
2025 Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid is already available for ordering, and
is expected to arrive at US dealerships in late Q1 2025. Predictably, the model
is the most expensive member of the lineup, starting at US$ 226,500 before tax,
title, registration, dealer charges, and a US$ 1,995 delivery fee.
