Be honest, what’s the first thing that you noticed about this Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid; is It the color? Porsche’s Exclusive Manufaktur calls it Night Blue Metallic, but it’s not the only update.
The brand’s customization division based in Zuffenhausen has fitted it with the new Sport Design Package, which adds the four-fin diffuser at the back and new front apron. The 21-inch wheels, with a Y-spoke pattern and Night Blue Metallic look, LED taillights and new sports exhaust system are part of the customazation.

Other models boasting this option, such as the Taycan, feature different sill panels as well, and the parts can be finished in the exterior color of the car or, for a little bit of contrast, in carbon fiber or high gloss black. For the 991, the Sport Design Package, which suits all Coupe variants of the latest iteration, brings new spoiler lip, redesigned rear bumper with raised license plate and big side skirts.
Diving into the Exclusive Manufaktur components is one way to make the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid even more expensive. In America, the plug-in hybrid model starts at $187,700, while in its home market, it’s available from €190,330 – and that’s before checking any options.
The official specs are listed at 3.2 seconds for the 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) and a 192 mph (309 km/h) top speed. The firepower comes from the 550 hp 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine and 134 hp electric motor. When working in conjunction, the system develops a combined 677 HP and 626 pound-feet (849 Nm) of torque.
