In the design would imply that such a Porsche sports car models in the future. Panamera Sport Turismo is a plug-in hybrid car with the logo of 'e-hybrid' on both front wings.

The drive system of the Panamera Sport Turismo is an advanced development of the parallel full hybrid that Porsche already implements today in the Panamera S Hybrid and Cayenne S Hybrid. Using a 3.0-liter V6 petrol engine that can generate power of 333 hp supercharger plus an electric motor that can generate power of 95 hp. Total accumulated power is 416 hp. If only using the electic motor power, this car can roam up to 30 kilometers and a speed of 130 kilometers/hours.

This Porsche's concept car have acceleration 0-100 kilometers/hours less than 6 seconds. Fuel consumption is 28.57 km/liter and CO2 emissions 82 g/km. It took 2.5 hours to charge the battery 9.4 kWh lithium-ion battery car.

The default operating mode of the e-hybrid prioritizes all-electric driving, but the driver may deactivate this by pressing a special button on the steering wheel. In addition, when the car is being operated in hybrid mode the driver can select the e-charge mode by pressing the steering wheel button to intentionally intensify charging of the high-voltage battery. In the e-charge mode, the internal combustion engine charges the battery by load point shifting, while satisfying rational energy management criteria.

Instead of classic instruments, a large central TFT color display is positioned in front of the driver; it is used to call up and display any vehicle information as needed— from the tachometer to driving data or navigation. Two monitors, one to the left and one to the right of this display, show images from the “exterior mirror” cameras. Two additional displays in tube form provide information on the hybrid-specific driving states, e.g. pure electric driving, as well as other functions. The power meter in the instrument panel illuminates in Acid Green and shows the combined system power of the two drives.

A press on the left-side touch-sensitive color display starts the e-hybrid. A new type of touch display in the ascending center console incorporates additional controls; this is the control centre for the e-hybrid and all other functions that is implemented in black panel technology. It offers the driver the option of influencing the hybrid drive via smart keys to choose maximum driving fun, maximum performance or maximum efficiency. All driving indicators and control functions are also operated by multi-touch functionality, such as automatic climate control, seat adjustment, lights, reversing camera and the functions of Porsche Communication Management (PCM). *** [DIH | AUTOBLOG | PIKIRAN RAKYAT 12102014]
