Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid

new luxury cars

Looking for a roomier Porsche that’s also kinder to the planet, you say? Well, headlining the electrified Panamera line-up here in Malaysia now is the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid. This new four-door plug-in hybrid (PHEV) Porsche combines a 4.0 litre biturbo petrol V8 engine producing 571 PS with an electric motor producing about 136 PS guilt-free urge. Combined, the PHEV powertrain produces 700 PS, propelling the fastback sedan from 0-100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds, while top speed is a mind boggling 315 km/h! Fully charged, the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid has an all-electric range of up to 50 km on the WLTP EAER City test cycle, or 59 km on the NEDC test cycle. Whichever test cycle you choose to put your money on, boy still show plenty of electric range so chances are, the car probably only needs to be filled up at the gas station once a month, if you’re mainly city-bound in the Klang Valley?
