Fresh off a redesign just last year, the Porsche Panamera still gets some major updates for 2018. The biggest addition to the lineup is the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid. It's powered by a twin-turbocharged V8, paired with an electric motor and a 14-kWh lithium-ion battery. Who else but Porsche would create a plug-in hybrid with 680 horsepower? There's also the new body style, the wagonlike Sport Turismo, plus some additional torque (from 435 to 516 lb-ft) for the standard E-Hybrid model. Vehicle overview The Porsche Panamera was redesigned from the ground up just a year ago. It got new looks, new engines and a bevy of tech upgrades. But for Porsche, that's apparently not enough. The 2018 Porsche Panamera gets two big additions With a whopping 680 horsepower and 626 pound-feet of torque, the Turbo S E-Hybrid will out-accelerate most sports cars on the planet (Porsche estimates it will go from zero to 60 mph in just 3.2 seconds with the optional Sport Chrono package). That would be impressive on its own, especially from such a big, luxurious sedan, but the same car can be plugged in and charged for, Porsche says, about 30 miles of electric-only range. Last year's Panamera was already performance-focused and conspicuously luxurious. It's even more so for the 2018 Panamera.
