Porsche has added another member to its Panamera luxury sedan range – Porsche Panamera S Hybrid.

In pure electric mode, the four-door, four-seat Gran Turismo Hybrid is capable to cover a range of approximately 1.25 miles, with speed up to 53 mph.
As every Porsche Panamera model, the new S Hybrid boasts a top-level of standard specification, including leather upholstery, Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), Bi-Xenon headlights, front and rear ParkAssist, tyre pressure monitoring, automatic dimming rear view mirrors, Porsche Communication Management with touch-screen satellite navigation and audio controls, cruise control and a three year warranty.
