The 2012 Porsche Panamera gains a pair of new models on opposite ends of the spectrum: the S Hybrid and the 550-horsepower Turbo S.



One thing that Porsche is not worried, it offers a multitude of choices. There are only 20 911 different variations, and each had Porsche may be hundreds of choices. 2012 Porsche Panamera to add to his own car horn o'plenty with some new models, the Panamera S oriented fuel hybrid and the flagship Turbo S.







S Hybrid, as its name suggests, is equipped with a gasoline-electric hybrid. Developed in collaboration with parent company Volkswagen, the drivetrain uses an electric motor sandwiched between an Audi V6 original compressor and an eight-speed automatic. The result is a combined output of 375 hp and 427 lb-ft of torque, or the same output as the S. V8 Panamera



Porsche says S Hybrid goes from zero to 60 km / h in 5.7 seconds, a time which is a bit slower than the V8 because of the increased emphasis hybrid. With estimates of 20 mpg city and 24 mpg highway, the Panamera Hybrid is still very far from the Prius territory, but it becomes four mpg better fuel economy in town that the Panamera S and 2 mpg better in town than the Panamera V6 base.
