  • 2012 Porsche Panamera S Hybrid live photos

    A couple of weeks ago, we made the case that the 2012 Porsche Panamera S Hybrid is the best value in the performance/luxury hybrid game, despite its $95,900 starting price. We stand by that analysis, as the new Panamera S Hybrid even manages to look good--as good as any Panamera, anyway--in the unfortunate silver-green so many hybrids are burdened with. Of course, you're not likely to care about the humpback or exterior hue once you're slapping down 380 combined horsepower at more than 30 mpg, all the while cocooned in the tech-laden luxury that is the Panamera. And that, if you ask us, is...

    Video Two Pack: 2012 Porsche Panamera S Hybrid

    In this duo of videos, we get our first look at the 2012 Porsche Panamera S Hybrid in action. As expected, it looks every inch the standard Panamera--poised, fast, and capable--but with the added benefit of a hybrid drivetrain. When the Panamera hybrid was revealed last week, we took a comparative...

    2012 Porsche Panamera S Hybrid Priced From $95,000

    Earlier today Porsche took the sheet off its 2012 Panamera S Hybrid, revealing a 333-horsepower, supercharged V-6 powerplant supplemented by a 47-horsepower electric motor in the familiar long-back sedan shape. Now we have its starting price: $95,000. That's a steep point of entry, but considering...

    2011 Geneva Motor Show: 2012 Porsche Panamera S Hybrid

    It’s been known for a while now that Porsche was working on a hybrid version of its Panamera sedan and today, just a few weeks out from its debut at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, the sports car company from Stuttgart has revealed its gasoline-electric gran turismo. The new model goes by the...

    Report: Porsche Working On Long-Wheelbase Panamera

    Porsche is set to unveil a new hybrid model, which is almost certain to be the long-rumored 2012 Porsche Panamera S Hybrid. However, further down the track we could be seeing even more Panamera models. In the past we’ve seen reports on new coupe and convertible versions but these are unlikely...

    Geneva Preview: Porsche To Unveil New Hybrid, Probably Panamera

    A new "parallel full hybrid model" will be on display at Porsche's Geneva Motor Show stand, and we're expecting it to be the Panamera S Hybrid. The V-6 models arrived last year, as did the new Cayenne S Hybrid, so a new production hybrid makes most sense in the humpbacked four-door. Power for the...

  • 2011 Porsche Cayenne (left) and 2010 Porsche Cayenne S (right)

    With Porsche now officially the 10th brand of the ever-expanding Volkswagen Group, there are fears the ethos of the famous sports car company from Stuttgart will be diluted as focus shifts towards more upmarket performance brands like Lamborghini and Bugatti. We’ve already seen this with the derided styling seen on the Porsche Panamera and Cayenne SUV but Walter de' Silva, the design director for the Volkswagen Group, believes he can bring something positive to the table. His first project will be the all-new Porsche Cajun SUV due in 2014--Porsche’s next model is actually the...

    Porsche Testing Electric Panamera Prototype

    Electricity and high-performance cars may or may not mix, depending on your frame of reference, but whether you're a Tesla fan or a Formula 1 devotee, it's easy to agree that a hybrid or all-electric Porsche would be a welcome creation for sports car and EV fans alike. The famous sports car company...

Think Porsche's not proud of that figure? Check out all the uses of "Gran Turismo" to describe the car in the press release on page...

    25,000th Porsche Panamera Already Built

    Just yesterday we reported that production of the first-generation Mercedes-Benz CLS had come to an end after almost seven years of sales and more than 170,000 cars built, so it comes as quite a shock that we report today that Porsche has already built its 25,000th Panamera--a much more expensive...

  • N.Technology Porsche Panamera S race car

    Big, heavy, luxurious, and hump-backed, the Porsche Panamera looks like just about anything but a race car. But that didn't stop N.Technology from teaming with Porsche Racing to build the Panamera into a carbon fiber track shark, and now the car has proved its mettle winning its first competition outing in the Mugello round of the Italian Superstars series. Based on the Panamera S, the car features carbon ceramic brakes, a six-speed sequential gearbox, full-on racing body work made of carbon fiber, and massive 18x10.5-inch wheels to help heel all that bulk--though it has lost almost 1,100...

This is especially true for smaller carmakers with limited budgets and low production volumes. Case in...
