NEW PANAMERA MODELS LAUNCHED

-

Following the online launch of the comprehens­ively revamped Panamera in August, Porsche announced the launch of three new models: the Panamera Turbo S E-hybrid, the 4 E-hybrid and the 4S. Alongside the already unveiled 4S E-hybrid, these new offerings mean Porsche now produces three PHEV Panameras for the first time, each in the three available body variants of sports saloon, Executive (longwheelb­ase saloon) and Sport Turismo. The launch is widely seen as Porsche systematic­ally extending its E-performanc­e strategy.

The chassis and control systems have been tuned for sportiness and comfort in all three new Panamera models. In some cases, a completely new control strategy has been implemente­d. A new generation of steering control system and new tyres ensure improved lateral dynamics and greater precision, while the flagship Turbo S E-hybrid (563bhp fourlitre twin-turbo V8) comes as standard with all currently available chassis and control systems, such as the Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control Sport (PDCC Sport) electric roll stabilisat­ion system, which includes Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus), rear axle steering with Power Steering Plus and Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB).
