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!

Namesakeone It should be a name that evoques the wild west, that emphasizes the go-anywhere nature of how an SUV should be used. Something like a wild animal, maybe something like a horse. I've got it! How about . . . Mustang! Oh, wait. They already did that, didn't they?
Slavuta There Used to be Pontiac Trans Sport.... That "Trans Sport" part has a totally new meaning these days
210delray You need to change the headline -- it's a 2025 model.
Jeff How about Aspire for a new subcompact crossover from Ford because it aspires to be bigger and its buyers would aspire for a better vehicle if they could afford it.
Jeff Carlos Travares wants to cut costs by 1/3. I don't see Chrysler or Dodge surviving too much longer especially since they are being literally starved for product. The success of the new Charger could extend Dodge a few more years but a failure might be a quick end to Dodge. I could see Stellantis moving more manufacturing for Jeep and Ram to Mexico which I believe will eventually be the only surviving brands of the old Chrysler. As for the Durango if it continues it will not be for too many more years it is an outdated product that I doubt will be redesigned especially when Jeep has a comparable product. Stellantis needs to address the high dealer inventory level by giving better incentives and low interest rates to clear excessive inventory.
