PINNACLE OF PERFECTION
The new Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid is the most powerful Porsche ever built, apart from the limited edition 918 Spyder, which looks more like a rocket ship than a sports car! This car is so powerful it will push you back in your seat when you press the accelerator – blasting off, like a bullet from a gun.
The Panamera is a large, super luxurious sedan with four big seats and four doors but, just like Mohammed Ali it manoeuvres with agility to post remarkable acceleration, cornering and braking performance figures. You can’t believe it at first: it plays like a 911, but with huge five-seater luxury.
The Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid may be the only car you will experience more than 1.00 G-force under acceleration AND on cornering AND on braking.
Yes, you can play the beast in this Panamera, but you can also be a beautiful pussycat.
Porsche has provided all its chassis magic as standard on this model: it drives like a dream like you’re on a guided magic carpet. It combines the best of Porsche’s achievements with a glimpse of those to come. We all love that passionate growl, ascending to a roar, the super excitement that Porsche can bring but, equally, there are times when, near our homes in the cities, we should be gentle and considerate, especially to our environment. In the Panamera you can drive for miles on pure electric power and, believe me, it’s enjoyable. You get more time to luxuriate in one of the best cars in the world; take time to enjoy the concert hall quality from the impeccable Bose sound system and even talk to your passengers.
In pure electric, you need no more than whisper!
The beauty of the Porsche hybrid system is that, in addition to its cleaner environment contribution, it actually enhances the sports car performance.
This model is absolutely top of the Porsche tree, the best performing car in its class, the fastest saloon in the world. Everything that Porsche knows, and is figuring out, is in this car. Not only the most exciting, but also the most intriguing – and you can’t get more interesting than that…
