Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid: Building the Perfect Beast
If this Porsche is the future of plug-in cars, the future is fast: With a shocking 680 hybrid horsepower, the Panamera—perhaps the world’s most technically advanced car—can zap 60 mph in three seconds, reach 192 mph and handle with astonishing grace for a 5,200-pound luxury sedan. The Panamera can travel 31 miles on electricity alone before its twin-turbocharged V-8 springs to life. One of the secrets to its success is the adaptive InnoDrive cruise control, which analyzes 3D topographical data to tackle even hilly and curvy terrain, adjusting speed and gear changes with full autonomy: All the driver has to do is steer and hang on tight.
