It can also drive for 31 miles without using a drop of petrol.The car starts up in this all-electric \u2018E-Power\u2019 mode and doesn\u2019t call on the engine until the accelerator pedal is pushed hard enough, or when the battery charge level drops below a certain point.The hybrid\u2019s high-voltage battery can be fully charged using a 3.6kW charger within six hours, or 2.4 hours with a 7.2kW connection.Porsche says the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid \u201cunderlines the high importance of electromobility\u201d to the brand, with short response times and a high level of comfort, thanks in part to air suspension that comes as standard. It will also be the first plug-in to top a Porsche model line.Two wheelbases will be offered from launch, with an \u2018Executive\u2019 version boasting an extra 150mm between the front and rear axles, in addition to the standard wheelbase Panamera.The Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid will retail for 185,736 euros in its native Germany (that\u2019s \u00a3158,300), stretching to 199,183 euros (\u00a3169,761) for the longer wheelbase model.Official UK prices are likely to be confirmed when the car receives a global unveiling at the Geneva Motor Show in March."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Latest News","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Off Road Cars","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/\/off-road-cars\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Porsche\u2019s second-gen plug-in Panamera revealed","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/off-road-cars\/porsches-second-gen-plug-panamera-revealed\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
