2025 Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid – More Powerful Than Ever

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.

Porsche 935 as a road-legal car

The British automotive company specializing in service restoration and development of unique vehicles, Lanzante, presented its latest project based on the Porsche 935. It is a track-focused car that was produced in 77 units, and which the British company is turning into a road-legal car.

The Porsche 935 was designed without headlights, so Lanzante engineers had to make certain modifications to make the car road legal. New fenders with thin headlights were installed, the suspension was improved, and a new handbrake was installed. They retained the 6-piston aluminum monobloc racing front calipers with 380 mm disc brakes, 4-piston rear calipers with 355 mm disc brakes, Porsche Stability Management (PSM) with traction control as well as an anti-lock braking system, from the original Porsche 935 .

Lanzante presented two examples of this car at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, and one of them wore a Martini livery while the other was in a Marlboro Chevron livery.

When it comes to the powertrain, Lanzante hasn’t changed anything. Under the bonnet is still the 3.8-liter twin-turbo 6-cylinder engine with 691 hp (515 kW), mated to a seven-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic transmission.

Porsche expanded its fleet with Macan RWD and Macan 4S

After the presentation of the new generation Porsche Macan (Macan 4 and Macan Turbo) at the beginning of the year, which went into production in May, the German manufacturer expanded the fleet of this model with two new versions, Macan with RWD and Macan 4S with AWD.

Both new versions come with adaptive air suspension and electronically controlled shock absorbers (PASM) with the option of a steering system on the rear axle. Also, the Macan 4S is equipped with the electronically controlled Porsche Traction Management traction control system, with which the Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus torque distribution system can be obtained as an option. They are equipped with an 800-volt architecture and a 100 kWh lithium-nickel-manganese battery that can be charged from 10 to 80 percent within approximately 21 minutes at a suitable fast-charging station.

The Porsche Macan is powered by a rear-mounted single electric motor with 340 hp/254 kW (360 hp/268 kW and 395 lb-ft/536 Nm of torque in overboost). That is enough to reach from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds with a top speed of 219 km/h (136 mph). Thanks to rear-wheel drive, this version is the lightest in the range (110 kg lighter than the Macan 4), so it is assumed to offer a longer range than the Macan 4 (613 km/380 miles).

The Macan 4S is powered by two electric motors with a total output of 449 hp /335 kW (517 hp/385 kW and 578 lb-ft/784 Nm of torque in overboost). It reaches 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.9 seconds with a top speed of 240 km/h (149 mph). That means it’s a second faster than the Macana 4 and 0.8 seconds faster than the Macana Turbo.

Also, Porsche took the opportunity to offer customers an optional off-road package that provides greater opportunities for those who want to experience rough terrain. The package includes a redesigned front bumper thanks to which the maximum approach angle is 17.5 degrees, matching elements on the sills and diffuser, underbody protection in body color and Vesuvius gray, and thanks to the air suspension, the possibility of increasing the ground clearance by an additional 10 mm. There are also new five-spoke 21-inch wheels in Vesuvius Grey. It should also be noted that all parts are compatible with all versions of the Macan.

Inside, the Porsche Driver Experience offers a 12.6-inch curved-design instrument cluster and the 10.9-inch central display, with new graphics and animations for the screens. The new Themes app allows the driver to customize the background color of the screen and ambient lighting to match the vehicle’s body color.

When it comes to prices, Porsche has not announced the prices of the new versions. As a reminder, the Macan 4 costs €83,993 in Germany, while the Macan Turbo costs €114,576.
