2014 Porsche Panamera S E Hybrid first plug in hybrid drive in luxury

2014 Porsche Panamera. Looking ahead: Worlds first plug-in hybrid drive in luxury class.

In the second generation of the 2014 Panamera, Porsche introduced the first plug-in hybrid luxury class. Along with the Panamera S E-Hybrid power 410hp two luxurious executive versions are also making their debut. Some of the changes are a new wheelbase and an all-new V6 3.0-liter twin turbo charged for the Panamera S and Panamera 4S. The model range has expanded and now includes ten models that offer an even wider range of sportiness and comfort.

The 2014 Porsche Panamera includes new technologies that have enabled fuel savings of up to 56 percent, while operating and further enhancing driving comfort. The new 2014 Panamera underlines its unique position with a more expressive design language. Setting a new path in the style of the new generation of sports cars more pronounced contours and elements of the newly formed body. In short: The 2014 Porsche Panamera is even more efficient, sporty, comfortable and stylish.

Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid sets new standards in comfort efficiency, performance and operation.

The Panamera S E-Hybrid is an advanced development systematically complete the parallel hybrid with an electric motor more powerful, higher performance battery that provides more power and the ability to load external power grid. The electric motor produces 94 horsepower (70 kW), which is more than twice the power of the electric motor previous model 46hp (34 kW). It draws its energy from a newly developed lithium-ion batteries, which at 9.4 kWh has more than five times the capacity of 1.7 kWh of previous battery technology nickel metal hydride. When connected to a power industry, can be charged in about two hours through the integrated plate charger and standard Porsche Universal (AC), and can be charged in less than four hours when connected to a conventional household outlet.

The Panamera S E-Hybrid far exceeds the carrying capacity of the previous model. Moreover, the consumption of the previous model NEDC fuel of 7.1 l/100 km is reduced by 56 percent to 3.1 l/100 km. That equates to CO2 emissions of 71 g / km. While driving performance in all-electric mode is improved substantially with respect to the electric acceleration. An intensive pure electric driving experience possible without fuel consumption or local emissions, which is especially advantageous in the urban environment. The electric range of the Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid was 36 kilometers in the NEDC based tests. In actual operating situations will change, as the air conditioning and heating are disabled in NEDC test conditions, for example.

The acceleration of 0-100 km / h is shortened to 5.5 seconds. Electrical impulse function help here, in which the performance of the electric motor drives the combustion engine. The drive can also be activated by the kick down - such as in passing situations. The vehicles top speed is 270 km / h. fully parallel hybrid concept developed by Porsche also offers "inertia" at high speeds, which refers to the free inertia with closed internal combustion engine and the recovery of energy through power generation.
The concept of future Panamera S E-Hybrid also features an entirely new range of comfort functions. It can be activated through a call a smart phone application. Moreover, the choice of auxiliary climate control plug-in hybrid car allows preheating or cooling through Porsche Car Connect, can be programmed into the vehicle or even more conveniently through the smart phone application. A smart phone can also be used for battery management or remote access to vehicle information, such as remaining driving range or to guide users back to their parked vehicles. All functions that are not specific hybrid system are also available as options on other models via Panamera Porsche Car Connect application.

Executives are looking to produce models with exclusive class accommodation. So was modified lengthening the wheelbase and widen rear seating area. The spatial concept of the 2014 Porsche Panamera was a success. So new Panamera Turbo and Panamera 4S Executive wheelbase extended by 15 cm long. So offer more space in the back seat. All business models have air suspension innovations, combining excellent ride comfort and driving characteristics typical Porsche.

More performance and efficiency of downsizing: the new V6 biturbo in developing the new 2014 Porsche Panamera, we sought to have a new engine based on the concept of downsizing: a V6 3.0 liter engine and twin-turbo charging. The biturbo V6 replaces the previous 4.8-liter V8 engine of the Panamera S and Panamera 4S, and is also used in the new version of the Panamera 4S Executive. Its basic parameters themselves are indicators of progress: 19hp more power and 20 Newton meters more torque, but up to 18 percent better fuel economy compared to the V8 engine in the previous model. This not only gives the driver a more powerful and efficient turbocharger produces a maximum torque of 520 Nm is available in a very wide range of engine speed for a superior power curve and uniform, even at low revs.

Most 2014 Porsche Panamera models are equipped with PDK seven-speed Porsche Doppel. The automatic gearbox eight-speed Tiptronic operating in the Panamera S and Panamera S E-Hybrid Diesel. This transmission allows the optimum conditions for the development of efficient functions.
