If there’s a more complete supercar on the market,
we’ve yet to find it. Serving as our photographer’s
trusty steed for the epic road trip behind this story,
the new Turbo S E-Hybrid version of the Panamera
combines space with pace, and pure dynamics with
a veritable deluge of technology. Under its sleek
bodywork is a turbocharged V8 mated to an electric
motor and a hefty chunk of batteries. The result
is a car that can glide silently and emission-free in
EV mode, but still tear it up on the Autobahn, with a
scarcely credible 3.4 second sprint time, thanks to
instant electric torque. The finely detailed interior
is perhaps the gold standard of what a tech-centric
luxury sports car should look like inside. This is
the ultimate hybrid machine and Porsche’s own
all-electric saloon arrives next year.
