~$190,000
Engine: .0L V8 biturbo + electric motor
Torque: 850 Nm
0–100 km/h: ~3.4 s
The Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid isn’t just a high-powered executive sedan — it’s a statement that electrification, when done right, can amplify performance rather than dilute it. Underneath its long, elegant silhouette hides a powertrain that merges brute force with silent precision: a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8, combined with a performance-calibrated electric motor. Together, they unleash 680 horsepower and 850 Nm of torque through all four wheels, launching this nearly two-ton luxury car to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds. The immediacy of electric torque fills the space where turbo lag once lived, making the Panamera feel lighter and more reactive than its size would suggest.
But the true genius lies in its balance. This is not a plug-in hybrid built to chase fuel economy or CO₂ scores. It’s a Porsche built to go fast — consistently, confidently, and repeatedly. The adaptive chassis, active roll stabilization, and torque vectoring systems make it feel composed in high-speed corners, while its rear-wheel steering helps disguise its long wheelbase with surprising agility. The steering is crisp, communicative, and tuned with the same philosophy as the brand’s rear-engine sports cars: minimal delay, maximum feedback, and no synthetic filtering. And when you back off, it transitions smoothly into quiet electric cruising — a dual personality that few cars achieve this well.
This Panamera isn’t trying to be a compromise between performance and efficiency. It’s a Porsche in the truest sense: engineered to deliver speed, emotion, and precision. The fact that it also offers electric range and silent start-up is not the goal — it's the bonus. What it proves is that hybridization, when developed by engineers who live for Nürburgring lap times, can sharpen a car’s reflexes rather than soften them. The Turbo S E-Hybrid doesn’t replace the thrill of combustion. It enhances it.

Model Name Meaning (Manufacturer)
The name "Panamera" is inspired by the legendary Carrera Panamericana, a grueling open-road race held in Mexico in the 1950s. Porsche selected this name to evoke the blend of long-distance capability and motorsport performance – ideal for a grand tourer capable of autobahn speeds with family-level space.
Model Name Meaning (Languages)
“Panamera” is a stylized, globally unique term derived from Spanish heritage (via "Panamericana") and carries no literal translation. Instead, it invokes luxury, legacy, and long-range power in all major markets, without needing adaptation.
Body & Interior Colors and Rims
The Panamera's exterior palette is rich and expressive, offering classic Porsche shades like Jet Black Metallic, Volcano Grey, and Carrera White, alongside more vivid options such as Carmine Red, Mamba Green, and Gentian Blue. For the most exclusive look, buyers could select from the Paint to Sample program, unlocking historic or custom-mixed colors.
Inside, the cabin was finished in luxurious materials like smooth-finish leather, Club Leather, or Race-Tex microfiber, available in Black, Truffle Brown, Bordeaux Red, Saddle Tan, or dual-tone layouts. High-gloss piano black, dark brushed aluminum, and various wood or carbon fiber trims added to the ambiance.
Wheel sizes ranged from 19 to 21 inches, with signature Turbo Design, Exclusive Design, or RS Spyder Design wheels – often finished in silver, satin platinum, or gloss black – tailored to the specific trim and customer preference.
Top Expensive Options
- Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) – ~$9,000

- Paint to Sample Custom Color – $10,000+ depending on spec
- Full Leather Interior with Contrast Stitching & Embossing – ~$4,000
vs Competitors
The Panamera’s natural rivals include the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe, BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe, Audi RS7 Sportback, and Lucid Air (in E-Hybrid comparisons). What sets the Panamera apart is its unmistakable driver-first tuning, low-slung proportions, and the fact that it shares core mechanicals with Porsche’s two-door sports cars – making it feel like a 911 that grew up to wear a tuxedo.
Fun Fact
When Porsche launched the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid, it became one of the most powerful four-door production cars in the world, surpassing even the 918 Spyder in torque. And despite its luxury image, the Panamera remains a Nürburgring-proven performance machine, with the Turbo S setting lap times faster than many dedicated sports coupes.
