New models - Porsche - PanameraNew Porsche Panamera duo most powerful yetTurbo S E-Hybrid and GTS variants set new benchmark for Porsche Panamera performance23 Jul 2024 By MATT BROGAN NEW-GENERATION Turbo S E-Hybrid and GTS variants have become the most powerful hybrid and non-hybrid Porsche Panamera variants to date.
Priced from $486,100 and $340,600 plus on-road costs respectively, the hard-charging pair are due in Australian showrooms later this year, with the former to become the most expensive Panamera variant to be offered Down Under to date.
The Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid is powered by Porsche’s 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 petrol engine (441kW) with an electric motor (140kW) integrated as part of the eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. Total system output is listed at 575kW (+75kW) and 1000Nm (+150Nm).
The variant can accelerate from standstill to 100km/h in 2.9 seconds (-0.5 seconds) on its way to a top speed of 325km/h (+25km/h).
Battery power comes from a 29.5kWh (gross) pack that offers up to 92km (NEDC) of all-electric driving range. The unit may be recharged from 0-100 per cent in two hours and 39 minutes via an 11kW AC charger.
Equipment highlights include 21-inch centre-lock alloy wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres, Active Ride suspension, adaptive cruise control, Bose premium audio with DAB+ digital radio reception, HD Matrix LED headlights, head-up display, panoramic glass sunroof, Porsche Ceramic Carbon Composite brakes (440mm diameter), privacy glass, quad-zone climate control, rear-wheel steering, soft-close doors, surround-view camera system, Turbonite garnishing inside and out, ventilated front seats, and more.
For the Panamera GTS we again find Porsche’s 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 petrol engine under the bonnet, this time producing 368kW (+15kW) and 660Nm. It can accelerate from standstill to triple digits in 3.8 seconds and reach a top speed of 302km/h.
An eight-speed dual-clutch transmission is once more the only option.
Porsche equips the Panamera GTS with a sports exhaust system it says is “specifically developed to create a powerful, emotional soundscape”, dual-chamber lowered sport suspension (-10mm), reinforced anti-roll bars, and an electronically controlled differential lock.
Equipment highlights include 21-inch Turbo S alloy wheels in Anthracite Grey, adaptive sport seats with 18-way adjustment, Bose premium sound, darkened badges and HD Matrix LED headlights, Race-Tex upholstery, red-painted brake callipers, and standard Sport and Sport Chrono packages.
Initial Australian customer deliveries are expected to begin later this year.
