Porsche Hybrid Models
PANAMERA HYBRID S

The electric motor can drive the car by itself for short distances at moderate acceleration and speeds up to 52 mph. So you can drive through residential areas, for example, without any emissions and making almost no noise. The combustion engine is automatically decoupled via the separating clutch and switched off.
Pressing the 'E-Power' button expands the range in which the vehicle can run solely on electric power. Here, the accelerator pedal characteristics are adapted so that the combustion engine switches on later than in normal mode, depending on power demand. This makes all-electric driving easier and more comfortable. The availability of all-electric mode depends on factors such as battery charge status and temperature.

In addition, the electric motor can assist the combustion engine to provide more thrust. This so-called 'E-Boost' function ensures sportier acceleration and improved flexibility.
With the integral Auto start/stop function, if you have to stop in traffic, the combustion engine is automatically switched off. It starts again only when you accelerate and the power available from the electric motor alone is not sufficient. This saves fuel.
A further energy saving can be made by coasting during driving. That means running without the combustion engine in operation, it switches off automatically. You can see this from the rev counter, which will be on READY and not displaying any revs. Through this, the hybrid shows its advantages away from city traffic.

Systems which are normally dependent on the drive power of the combustion engine, such as climate control, power steering and braking, are powered electrically in the Panamera S Hybrid and therefore remain available even when the car is being driven using solely electric power or when it is coasting with the combustion engine switched off.
