Total system outputs are 575kW of power and 1000Nm of torque, which is up 75kW and 150Nm on the previous-generation model. It also makes it the most powerful series-production Panamera variant to date.

A slightly modified version of this vehicle achieved a new record at the Nurburgring Nordschleife. Porsche test driver Lars Kern lapped the 20.8-kilometre circuit in 7:24.17 minutes, officially making it the fastest “top-class sedan with a combustion and hybrid engine”.

The Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid comes with a 29.5kWh battery pack that’s claimed to allow for up to 92km of electric-only driving according to NEDC testing.

The battery pack can also be charged from 0-100 per cent in two hours and 39 minutes when plugged in to an 11kW AC charger.
