A trio of drive technologies.
Porsche is developing future-oriented drive concepts: the sports car manufacturer is playing a pioneering role here with product offensives such as the extended and fundamentally enhanced Panamera hybrid family, rapid expansion of the charging infrastructure and its participation in the development of e-fuels.
Efficient trio
Porsche is offering three different plug-in hybrid models in a product line for the first time: with a system power of 412 kW (560 PS), the 4S E-Hybrid is positioned as a completely new derivative between the 4 E-Hybrid (340 kW/462 PS) and the Turbo S E-Hybrid (515 kW/700 PS).
DNA of the 918 Spyder
The most powerful Panamera model is a plug-in hybrid: the Turbo S E-Hybrid now delivers 515 kW (700 PS) of system power and 870 Nm of torque. Its performance boost strategy has been adopted from the 918 Spyder super sports car.
Even further electrically
The all-electric range of the Panamera hybrid models has been increased by up to 30 per cent thanks to a new 17.9 kWh high-voltage battery (previously 14.1 kWh) and optimised driving modes. The luggage compartment capacity of the Panamera hybrid models is unaffected by this.
Enhanced driving experience I
Its optimised driving modes bring an even greater focus on highly-efficient charging while driving. The battery now charges faster while intelligent energy recuperation allows even more efficient use of the electric drive.
Enhanced driving experience II
All chassis components and control systems have seen further development, benefitting both the driving comfort and cornering stability of the new Panamera models. The balance between sportiness and comfort has been enhanced yet further.
E-fuels as a contribution to reducing CO2 emissions.
Alongside electromobility, Porsche is also conducting research in the area of e-fuels: With these fuels, pure combustion engines and plug-in hybrids can run almost CO2-neutrally. E-fuels are synthetic fluid fuels made from hydrogen and carbon dioxide taken from the air. They are ideally produced with only renewable energy.
Further expansion of the charging infrastructure.
Porsche will invest further in the Porsche Destination Charging network. This part of the charging network will include charging points with three-phase 400-volt alternating current (AC) and 11 kW power output.
