Porsche is increasingly leaning into electrification, and the new hybrid Panamera shows that adding electricity can bring significant performance improvements. The 2025 Panamera lineup recently expanded with two new variants, including the gas-only GTS and Turbo S E-Hybrid.
The GTS is expected to get a 4.0-liter V8, making 493 horsepower and 457 pound-feet of torque. The Turbo S E-Hybrid will sport 771 horsepower and 737 pound-feet of torque, making it more powerful and faster around the Nurburgring than the new BMW M5.
Porsche claims a 2.8-second 0-60 mph time for the Turbo S E-Hybrid, making it two-tenths quicker than its Turbo counterpart. It improves on the standard Turbo’s top speed by seven mph, reaching 202 mph flat out, and the car sports a carbon fiber body kit that bumps downforce by 132 pounds.
That impressive performance, for sure, but the Panamera isn’t a lightweight. As Autoblog noted, the GTS will likely have a curb weight of somewhere around 4,600 pounds, and the hybrid should land at around 5,300 pounds. That makes the hybrid only about 500 pounds lighter than the full-size, three-row Ford Expedition, though the SUV doesn’t have a 771-horsepower engine on deck.
The new cars will be available in dealer showrooms by the first quarter of 2025. Pricing for the GTS starts at $156,195, while the Turbo S E-Hybrid will cost $228,495 after destination.

- SCE to AUX I can't warm up to the new look. Still prefer my 22 SF.
- SCE to AUX I guess the direct sales stores weren't polled. Unless dealers are going out of business, I don't feel one bit sorry for them. They should most fear the mfrs who are eager to get rid of them, reducing costs and increasing customer satisfaction.

- Lou_BC I guess I should pry all of the logos off my vehicle. That is a form of advertising. Anyone wearing 'branded" clothing?
