The Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid: the most powerful Panamera
- The Porsche "Turbo" model name has traditionally represented the pinnacle of performance among model variations aimed primarily at road use.
- At the same time, the "Turbo" logo signifies technological leadership in each segment.
- The combination of a highly efficient internal combustion engine and an electric powertrain delivers particularly powerful driving forces and outstanding performance
![](https://911supercars.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Panamera-Turbo-S-E-Hybrid-8.jpg)
- The new Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid's V8 biturbo engine develops 441 kW (600 PS), while the electric motor, which is fully integrated into the housing and the PDK cooling circuit, develops 140 kW (190 PS).
- Compared to the previous model, system output is 75kW (102PS) higher at 575kW (782PS), and system torque is 1,000Nm, an increase of 150Nm.
- Acceleration from 0 to 100 km is 2.9 seconds (0.5 seconds faster than the previous model)
- Top speed is 325 km/h (25 km/h faster than the previous model)
![](https://911supercars.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Panamera-Turbo-S-E-Hybrid-7.jpg)
- It's also more efficient, and the hybrid powertrain offers longer electric range, faster charging and more responsiveness than its predecessor.
- The high-voltage battery, with a total capacity of 25.9 kWh, stores 451 TP1T more energy than the previous generation battery.
- This increases the electric driving range to a maximum of 88km (WLTP EAER City/EU spec).
- Recuperation power increased to 88kW, for even more efficient operation in all-electric mode
- With the right power source, the 1kW on-board AC charger can charge the battery from 0 to 100% in approximately 2 hours and 39 minutes.

New record for the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid
- New Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid sets new records even before launch
- Porsche test driver Lars Kern (36 years old) completed the Nürburgring Nordschleife (20.832 km) in just 7 minutes 24.172 seconds.
![](https://911supercars.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Panamera-Turbo-S-E-Hybrid-23.jpg)
- This certified time makes the car the fastest ever recorded by a hybrid top-class saloon car with an internal combustion engine in the official rankings of the Nürburgring 1927 GmbH & Co. KG, beating the previous record in its class by 3.62 seconds.
- When Lars Kern set the record lap on July 12, 2024, the Panamera was equipped with racing seats and a safety cage to protect the driver, but otherwise the specifications were the same as the production model.
![](https://911supercars.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Panamera-Turbo-S-E-Hybrid-24.jpg)
- Lars Kern has already set class records on the Nordschleife with a Panamera in 2016 and 2020, most recently with a Panamera Turbo S.
- The Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid has improved its lap time by 5.64 seconds in 2020, proving yet another evolution of the four-door sports car.

*I'm sorry, but until now I've been checking various non-Porsche articles to see how to pronounce this "Lars Kern" in Japanese, and as a result I've been writing it as "Lars Kahn". However, according to Porsche, it's actually "Lars Kern", so the Lars Kahn and Lars Kern who occasionally appear on this blog are both Lars Kern and the same person, so just to be clear!
Track tires and carbon aero kit for Panamera Turbo models
- The car's performance is mainly down to a new carbon aero kit and specially developed UHP tyres by Michelin.
- The aero kit is available for the Panamera Turbo and Turbo S E-Hybrid sports saloon models.
- Equipped with carbon air blades, side skirts and a rear diffuser, it optimizes the aerodynamic balance when driving on the circuit.
- The front spoiler lip completely eliminates lift on the front axle
- When combined with the adaptive 4-way rear spoiler's Gurney flap, it can generate downforce.
![](https://911supercars.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Panamera-Turbo-S-E-Hybrid-12.jpg)
- An extra 60kg of downforce at 200km/h means even higher speeds through a series of more challenging corners.
- N0 marked Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres give your car even more traction
- With dimensions of 275/35 ZR 21 at the front and 325/30 ZR 21 at the rear, the tyres have been specially developed for the dynamic driving conditions of the Panamera.
Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid's full range of equipment
- The new Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid comes standard with Porsche Active Ride Suspension
- This innovative chassis is combined with a 400V high-voltage system and is technically only possible in Panamera models with E-Hybrid drive.
- Each shock absorber has an electric hydraulic pump that actively generates force in either extension or compression.
- This allows the suspension to almost perfectly compensate for body movements and keep the car level during dynamic driving maneuvers.
- This technology enables innovative features such as pitch and roll overcompensation.
- Wheel load distribution is adjusted to suit grip levels for optimal traction
- The extensive equipment available for the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid also includes:
- All Driving Dynamics Control Systems
- rear axle steering
- Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) with 440 mm diameter brake discs at the front and 380 mm diameter brake discs at the rear
- Bose Sound System

The Panamera GTS: The most agile Panamera
- GTS stands for Gran Turismo Sport
- Porsche models bearing the GTS badge offer everyday usability plus extra sportiness and maximum driving pleasure
- In line with this philosophy, the Panamera GTS also stands out with its high-performance tuned chassis, exclusive Sport Design package and sporty, high-quality interior.
![](https://911supercars.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Panamera-Turbo-S-E-Hybrid-18.jpg)
- One of the most direct and agile sports saloons in the top class
- The powerful and comprehensively upgraded biturbo V8 engine plays a key role in the intense driving experience of the Panamera GTS.
- The linear power delivery is clearly noticeable even at engine speeds above 6,000 rpm.
- This engine produces a maximum output of 368kW (500PS), 20PS more than its predecessor.
- The result is improved driving performance, dynamics and greater efficiency.
- Acceleration from 0 to 100 km in 3.8 seconds
- The maximum speed is 302km/h
- The sports exhaust system that comes as standard on the Panamera GTS has been specially developed to produce a powerful and emotional sound.
![](https://911supercars.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Panamera-Turbo-S-E-Hybrid-2.jpg)
- The dual-chamber, two-valve air suspension (including PASM) that comes as standard on the Panamera GTS has been given a particularly sporty tuning.
- 10mm lowered body and strengthened stabilizer provide a more direct driving experience and lower base spring rate
- Electronically controlled PTV Plus differential lock optimizes torque distribution between the wheels
- The combination of these measures reduces pitch and roll across the entire speed range, improving body stability and adding dynamics without significantly compromising comfort.
