 Hybrid Porsche Panamera A few weeks away, we heard suspicious reports that Porsche decided against producing the hybrid Panamera, but it looks like they’ve given it the green light after all. Porsche going for the green’s green has decided to expand on the Cayenne Hybrid, on which the Panamera will be based, and go after the market of eco-buyers who would otherwise be too guilt ridden to buy a Porsche. Soon they will be able to leave a Prius in the dust and not have an anxiety attack.

Leading Auto Manufacturer AGAINST Hybrids - Porsche Reconsidering (VIDEO)
Porsche announced today that it's developing a hybrid version of the Panamera, a four-door GT car that will debut in a traditional combustion engine version in 2009.
The hybrid system will use a combustion engine, plus an electric motor and an additional clutch, along with a battery pack to store power. The system can switch between the combustion and electric motor, or combine power from both, depending on driving conditions. And although we haven't seen specific technical data yet, this system sounds strikingly similar to GM's "two-mode" hybrid system, which can yield anywhere from zero emissions to pretty much standard combustion engine-level emissions, depending on how hard the car is driven. Porsche claims their hybrids will reduce fuel consumption by 30 percent over standard models.
