Visitors at Auto Shanghai 2013 got to see the world premiere of the all-new 2014 Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid. Also making their debut were long-wheelbase Executive versions of the Panamera S and Panamera 4S.
The 2014 Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid is a plug-in hybrid model whose electric drive system produces 95 horsepower -- more than double the output of the previous motor. The new lithium-ion battery has increased capacity and can fully charge in approximately 2.5 hours when connected to a 240V power source. Acceleration from 0-100 km/h takes 5.5 seconds, while top speed is rated at 270 km/h.
Look for the 2014 Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid to arrive in Canadian showrooms this fall with a base MSRP of $113,300.
As for the Executive versions of the Panamera S and Panamera 4S, their 15 centimetres of additional wheelbase result in more legroom in the back. The new 3.0L twin-turbo V6 engine under the hood is not only more potent than the old V8 (420 hp vs. 400 hp), but also more fuel-efficient.
