In Porsche latest Christophorus Online article, the Panamera S E-Hybrid goes for a nighttime drive in New York City. The 24 Hours of Le Mans lives on its night. New York, the city that never sleeps, lives for its night. A Panamera S E-Hybrid unites the exceptional race with the extraordinary metropolis. During a nighttime test-drive, the people, car, and city charge each other up.
The Panamera S E-Hybrid adds a pleasant hum to the constant aural backdrop of the city streets. A drive along Central Park recalls the Mulsanne straight, while the hard curves around Grand Central Station provide an equivalent to the Dunlop chicane (at reduced speed, of course), and a Sunday drive might take one out to Coney Island, where there’s a Ferris wheel resembling the one at Le Mans.
Panamera S E-Hybrid emits 416 HP power to a top speed of 270 kmph. E-mobility is the next big step. With the Panamera S E-Hybrid Porsche brings to the road a total concept that networks the car and its driver in an intelligent way. Its fuel consumption is far below the rate you would usually expect of a sports car. In the Panamera S E-Hybrid, innovative battery technology and a powerful electric motor herald a little revolution in alternative drives: driving pleasure.
Drive forces are transmitted, as standard, by the 8-speed Tiptronic S. Also fitted as standard are the adaptive air suspension with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and the speed-sensitive Power steering Plus.
