- Porsche expands the Panamera lineup with the Turbo S E-Hybrid flagship.
- The most powerful Panamera produces 771 hp from a twin-turbo V8 and a single e-motor.
- The Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid is the fastest executive sedan on the Nurburgring.
Fresh from reclaiming the Nürburgring crown for fastest executive car, Porsche has unveiled that the record-breaking model is the new Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid. The fastest and most powerful Panamera yet is positioned as the range-topper, completing a lineup of four hybrids.
The 2025 Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid features a plug-in hybrid powertrain with a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine producing 591 hp (441 kW / 600 PS), paired with a single electric motor generating 187 hp (140 kW / 190 PS).

This setup is integrated into a “significantly improved” eight-speed dual-clutch transmission (PDK). Together, they deliver a combined output of 771 hp (575 kW / 782 PS) and 737 lb-ft (999 Nm) of torque, surpassing its predecessor by 81 hp (60 kW / 82 PS) and 96 lb-ft (130 Nm). Interestingly, this power output is higher than the mechanically-related Porsche Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid, and identical to the new Bentley Continental GT Speed.
The healthy power boost enables the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid to complete the 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) sprint in 2.8 seconds, before reaching a top speed of 202 mph (325 km/h). These key performance figures represent improvements of 0.2 seconds in acceleration and 8 mph (13 km/h) in top speed compared to the equivalent trim of the previous generation.
Similar to the lesser E-Hybrid trims of the Panamera, the Turbo S benefits from a larger 25.9 kWh battery pack. This enhances its all-electric range and fast-charging capabilities, although Porsche has not yet disclosed the EPA estimates.

Visually, the Turbo S E-hybrid looks identical to the Turbo E-Hybrid, with the exception of the badging on the rear bumper. It features the same Turbo-specific body kit and 21-inch center-lock wheels. The Turbonite finish on the wheels, airblades, rear bumper strip, and interior accents/stitching sets the Turbo-badged Panameras apart from the rest.
The optional carbon fiber Aerokit, comprising a front splitter, airblades, side skirts, gurney flap on the rear spoiler, and rear diffuser, not only enhances aesthetics but also increases downforce by 132 lbs (60 kg) at speeds of 124 mph (200 km/h). This setup was equipped on the vehicle that achieved the 7:24.17 Nürburgring lap time, along with the optional Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires.
The Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid is equipped as standard with Porsche Active Ride suspension, which includes an electrically-operated hydraulic pump for each shock absorber. It also features rear-axle steering and Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB), boasting 440 mm (17.3 inches) discs at the front and 410 mm (16.1 inches) discs at the rear.
The 2025 Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid is already available for ordering, and is expected to arrive at US dealerships in late Q1 2025. Predictably, the model is the most expensive member of the lineup, starting at $226,500 before tax, title, registration, dealer charges, and a $1,995 delivery fee.
