It appears that Porsche is very serious in expanding its lineup in order to see some impressive sales. Why? Well, after we announced you that Porsche will soon launch a GT3 RS Limited Edition, it seems that the German manufacturer is ready to launch the Panamera Turbo S. Yes, this will be the most powerful version of the Porsche sedan and the word is that this car will be launched next month and will hit the dealerships this summer. And this is not a rumor, as a member of TeamSpeed forum said that he already ordered a Porsche Panamera Turbo S. There is no word about a price or some technical specs, but it appears that the new car will be powered by the same 4.8-liter V8 engine found on the Panamera Turbo, capable to deliver 550 hp and around 800 Nm of torque.
This means that the S version of the Panamera will actually deliver an extra 50 hp than the Panamera Turbo. Moreover, the Panamera Turbo has a top speed of 303 km/h or 188 mph, and can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.2 seconds when using the optional Sports Chrono Package Turbo. The same car can sprint from 0 to 100 mph (160 km/h) in just 9 seconds and to 200 km/h or 124 mph in 13.9 seconds. For those who don’t know, the latest addition in the Panamera lineup was unveiled this month at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show in the form of the Panamera S Hybrid and represents firm’s third hybrid model.
It is powered by a V6 compressor engine delivering 333 hp (245 kW) supported by a 47 hp (34 kW) electric motor. Wit a total output of 380 hp (279 kW), the car sprints from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 6.0 seconds and has a top speed at 270 km/h (168 mph). The Panamera S Hybrid also delivers an impressive fuel consumption of 6.8 l/100 km (41.54 mpg imp.) of fuel based on the NEDC and CO2 emissions of just 159 g/km. The 2011 Porsche Panamera S Hybrid will hit the dealerships in June 2011 and will cost 106,185 Euros in Germany, including VAT and country-specific equipment.
