Porsche dials up the performance on Panamera with new Turbo S E-Hybrid version

Porsche has released a new range-topping Turbo S E-Hybrid version of its luxurious Panamera saloon.

Utilising a 4.0-litre biturbo V8 at its heart, the Turbo S E-Hybrid then combines this petrol-powered setup with an electric motor and battery to produce 771bhp, making it the most powerful Panamera produced. It also makes it the most powerful combustion-engined series-production Porsche ever.

Thanks to all of that power, the Turbo S E-Hybrid will manage the 0-60mph sprint in just under 2.9 seconds and will carry onwards to a top speed of 201mph.

The battery can be charged at speeds of up to 11kW, too, which will result in a 100 per cent charge taking two hours and 39 minutes.

At the same time, Porsche has introduced a GTS version of the Panamera too. Designed to add an extra level of sportiness and driver involvement to the saloon, the GTS also uses a 4.0-litre V8 but receives a sportier suspension setup over the Turbo models alongside an electronically controlled differential lock for more agile cornering.
