27 September 2017

At the same time it is also the most powerful wagon in the world

Porsche has long been experimenting with hybrid technology. They apply even hypercare 918 Spyder, which is considered one of the fastest cars on the planet. Now the German manufacturer has unveiled its most powerful and versatile hybrid, the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid, Sport Turismo.

Earlier, a similar version existed only for the saloon, now the flagship of the twin-engine modification is now available to those who prefer station wagons (although Porsche prefer not to use this term, replacing it with a "fashionable" phrase Sport Turismo).

Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid, Sport Turismo uses a 4-liter V8 with twin turbo. His power (550 HP) is sufficient for dynamic driving, but the electric motor adds another 136 "horses". Two units can work separately or simultaneously (this requires you to select Sport mode or Sport+). Other equipment includes an 8-stupendous robotic PDK transmission and all-wheel drive system.

High-tech 5-door is able to travel up to 49 miles in all-electric mode in which the speed must not exceed 140 km/h the electric Motor is powered by integrated into the floor of the lithium-ion battery capacity of 14.1 kWh depending on the type of outlet on a full charge will go from 2.4 to 6 hours.

Because of the additional equipment and a large engine weight the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid, Sport Turismo is quite impressive — about 2.3 tons. However, it does not interfere with the wagon to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds (probably during this time the average person will not even pronounce the full name of this model). 

The problem is that in Europe hybrid top version will cost 223  $ 530, and it is considerably more expensive than gasoline modification Turbo S Sport Turismo, which has identical dynamics. However, at the same time, she was not able to drive in all-electric mode, and for some it can be a decisive factor. And yet Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid, Sport Turismo is the most powerful production wagon on the planet, and this title is well worth it.

Russian price tag is not yet announced. The car is unlikely to succeed available because the regular liftback in a similar configuration is at least 109 12 000.
