porsche expands the panamera lineup with two new variants for 2025

Porsche is increasingly leaning into electrification, and the new hybrid Panamera shows that adding electricity can bring significant performance improvements. The 2025 Panamera lineup recently expanded with two new variants, including the gas-only GTS and Turbo S E-Hybrid.

The GTS is expected to get a 4.0-liter V8, making 493 horsepower and 457 pound-feet of torque. The Turbo S E-Hybrid will sport 771 horsepower and 737 pound-feet of torque, making it more powerful and faster around the Nurburgring than the new BMW M5.

Porsche claims a 2.8-second 0-60 mph time for the Turbo S E-Hybrid, making it two-tenths quicker than its Turbo counterpart. It improves on the standard Turbo’s top speed by seven mph, reaching 202 mph flat out, and the car sports a carbon fiber body kit that bumps downforce by 132 pounds.

That impressive performance, for sure, but the Panamera isn’t a lightweight. As Autoblog noted, the GTS will likely have a curb weight of somewhere around 4,600 pounds, and the hybrid should land at around 5,300 pounds. That makes the hybrid only about 500 pounds lighter than the full-size, three-row Ford Expedition, though the SUV doesn’t have a 771-horsepower engine on deck.

The new cars will be available in dealer showrooms by the first quarter of 2025. Pricing for the GTS starts at $156,195, while the Turbo S E-Hybrid will cost $228,495 after destination.

The depreciation on the Turbo S is going to be epic!

Peeryog Everytime I see one I am reminded of the current Santa Fe. And vice versa.
Original Guy I watched that Moscow parade thing. (With the Cyrillic captions because my Russian is a little rough.) I won't give the whole thing away, but it started off with a couple of dudes riding around in stupid useless convertibles, standing up like Hitler, who I'm pretty sure was an actual Nazi. They drove around in circles and kept stopping to ask if anyone had seen all the missing military equipment, and all the guys kept moaning back, that no, they hadn't, ask the next section of guys.They looked around for someone shorter and sicker-looking than Putin but they were unsuccessful so they let him speak.The North Korean military was there, I guess the invasion has begun. The North Korean guys were skinny but their rifles were nicely polished, I guess they have plenty of time on their hands between meals.Some of the Russian military guys carried little white flags, I assume they keep those handy in case they run across any U.S. Marines.
Marc J Rauch EBFlexing on ur mom - Ethanol is compatible with more types of rubber, plastic, and metal than gasoline and aromatics. This means that ethanol is less corrosive. The bottom line is that long before ethanol could have any damaging effect on any engine component, gasoline and aromatics would have already damaged the components. And the addition of ethanol doesn't exacerbate the problems caused by gasoline and aromatics; it actually helps mitigate them.
Original Guy Today I learned that a reverse brake bleeder (and a long borescope) can be helpful if you are autistic and don't have any friends and no one wants to work with you to bleed your brakes. Also it is quick, once you figure out the process.When Canada assembled my truck back in circa 1995, they apparently used a different clip to attach the brake pedal (and switch) to the brake booster than what is technically called for. It is tough to realize this when the spring steel clip flies off to who knows where. Of course I ordered the wrong clip trying to match the style that I saw buried up in the dash before it flew away. My truck now has the 'correct' clip, everyone can relax.I ordered some more brake fluid (DOT 3, nothing fancy) but it turns out I still have two fresh bottles (my shelves aren't empty, I just have too many shelves).Went to install my fancy new Optima YellowTop battery and it turns out I need a new side post terminal bolt. (Yet another order placed, bring on THE TARIFFS.) It would be a shame to strip out the threads on a nice new battery, no?Good news: The longer it takes me to get my truck started again, the more I save on fuel. 😁
