It delivers the most powerful performance in the Panamera lineup. Porsche’s development driver recently set a new record by completing the N?rburgring Nordschleife course in 7 minutes 24.17 seconds. The company stated that it ranked as the fastest sedan equipped with an internal combustion or hybrid engine on the N?rburgring 1927 GmbH & Co. KG leaderboard. This broke the previous record by 5.64 seconds.

The electric driving range has been extended and charging time reduced compared to the previous model. Using a 25.9 kWh high-voltage battery, the energy storage capacity increased by 45%, allowing for a maximum electric-only range of 88 km (WLTP standard). Charging the battery from 0 to 100% takes 2 hours and 39 minutes (based on an 11 kW onboard AC charger).
