After setting the fastest lap time in the category of cars from the E-segment a few days ago on the Nurburgring Nordschleife, the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid has finally arrived on the market. It is the most powerful Panamera ever, and along with it Porsche presented a slightly sportier version, the Panamera GTS.

Visually, the Turbo S E-Hybrid looks identical to the Turbo E-Hybrid, with the exception of the rear bumper badges. There is the same body kit specific to the Turbo models, as well as 21-inch wheels. The Turbonite finish on the rims, fenders, rear bumper line and interior trim and stitching sets the Turbo version apart from the rest.

The car is equipped with Porsche Active Ride suspension, which includes an electronic hydraulic pump for each shock absorber, rear axle steering system, Porsche composite ceramic PCCB brakes with 440 mm front and 410 mm rear discs. Optionally, customers can choose a carbon Aerokit package that includes a front splitter, wings, sills and wings on the rear spoiler and rear diffuser, which increases downforce by 60 kilograms at a speed of 200 km/h.

The Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid is powered by a 4.0-L twin-turbo V8 engine assisted by an electric motor totaling 782 hp (583 kW) and 737 lb-ft (999 Nm) of torque. This means that it has 82 hp and 130 Nm more than its predecessor, which is enough to reach 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds (-0.2 sec) with a top speed of 325 km/h (202 mph). The engine is mated to an eight-speed dual-clutch PDK transmission. It is equipped with a 25.9 kWh battery, which ensures a longer range and faster charging, but there are no precise data yet.

The Panamera GTS is equipped with sport-calibrated air suspension, reinforced anti-roll bars, stiffer springs, an electronically controlled PTV Plus limited-slip differential, 21-inch wheels in Anthracite gray with contrasting red brake calipers, four tailpipes in Dark Bronze, and for 10 mm is closer to the ground.

When it comes to the powertrain, the Panamera GTS is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 500 hp (373 kW), which is 20 hp more than the previous GTS. That is enough to reach from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds (-0.1 sec) with a top speed of 303 km/h.
