"Its concept, including a large tailgate, low loading edge, increased luggage compartment volume and seating for five means that the new flagship of the model line offers a high degree of everyday practicality," the automaker said.
The boost strategy derived from the 918 Spyder combines a 136hp electric motor with the 550hp twin turbo V8.
The decoupler in the hybrid module is actuated electromechanically by an electric clutch actuator (ECA), as in standard Panamera hybrid models. This, Porsche said, "ensures quick response and exceptional comfort".
The eight speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) dual clutch transmission sends power to the standard active all-wheel drive system with traction management. The new model can sprint from zero to 60 miles per hour in a claimd 3.2 seconds and complete the quarter mile in 11.6 seconds. Top speed is 192mph.

By GlobalDataThe electric motor is powered via a liquid cooled lithium ion battery with energy capacity of 14.1kWh. The high-voltage battery takes 12 hours to fully charge via a US domestic 120V, 10amp connection. With optional 7.2 kW on board charger instead of the standard 3.6kW unit, charging time decreases to less than three hours with a 240V, 40amp connection.
