Haute Auto of the Week: Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid

Today we’re going green, luxury style! We’re taking a look at a hybrid version of Porsche’s iconic four-door saloon Panamera. The Panamera S E-Hybrid was unveiled their year at Auto Shanghai, and it’s the first plug-in hybrid offering from the German automaker.

The Panamera S E-Hybrid is a lean, green machine. It’s got a powerful electric motor and a high-performance battery that can be recharged either at home or at public charging stations. The result is an electric drive that produces 95 hp (more than double the power of the previous model’s 47 hp electric motor) and can do zero to sixty in 5.2 seconds on its way to a top track speed of 167 mph.

The new Panamera will be available in the U.S. starting later this year, and will start at $99,000.
