Following the Cayenne,
Porsche will also be building
a hybrid drive version of the
new Panamera which will
offer an average fuel consumption
of less than 9
litres/100 km.
The new Panamera will be
the first four-door sports
model to feature fuel-efficient
full parallel hybrid technology.
It will consist of the battery
unit positioned in the luggage
compartment, the
power electronics, and the
hybrid module between the
engine and transmission
comprising an additional
clutch and the electric motor.
The hybrid module is able
to disengage either the combustion
engine or the electric
motor, or to combine both
drive systems as one joint
power unit allowing it to be
driven in a number of different
modes ranging from allelectric
drive to sporting style
which is typical of a Porsche.
