Porsche Panamera Hybrid for 2011

Porsche has announced it will have a hybrid version of the Panamera luxury sedan for sale by 2011, alongside its previously announced Cayenne S Hybrid.

The Panamera S Hybrid will add to the already powerful reputation for the all new Panamera. It will feature the same drivetrain as the Cayenne S Hybrid - a 3.0 liter supercharged V6 with 333 PS coupled to a 34 kW electric motor for a total of 380 PS (280 kW).

The Panamera is also expected to sport similar green numbers to that Cayenne S Hybrid with its fuel-economy rating of 8.2 liters/100 km and CO2 emissions below 200 g/km.

According to sources: "The Cayenne S Hybrid will be the first production Porsche model to be able to run on electric power alone, when it goes on sale next year ahead of the Panamera S Hybrid."

Porsche has announced they are in the process of developing all-electric drive technology, including battery systems, in order to build all-electric performance models in the future.  

First road trials with three Porsche Boxster prototypes equipped with electromotive prowertrains begin in early 2011.
