Default 2018 TTS Hybrid

Panny. Sorry but this forum has all the knowledgeable people about the special editions. Anyone care to share on what they know about this new model? It sounds like a beast so I ordered one.

I'd start by doing a search of this forum.

I think we should all be asking you about Panny Turbo E-Hybrid (aka, the "Four-door 918")

Let us know how you like it when you get it.

I did search and came up with nothing. If I don't hear anything by November I'll write a review.

680 HP 918 with 4 doors and a trunk. Fast as all hell

My dealership GM got to experience it in Germany. He said it was a rocket and the only car they wouldn't let anyone drive, you only got rides.

I'm a little nervous it's going to be king of the hill for about an hour, if at all by year end, and then depreciate massively. I'm not looking for a GT/investment grade car, just don't want to be on the opposite end of the spectrum and lose a quick 100k. It is a 230k Panny after all.

A 992 Hybrid is not confirmed and if will be 2020 or later.
The Sport Turismo Turbo S-E Hybrid will launch with press drives as of this coming Tuesday July 18th right in our back-yard at VIMC.
A Rocket without a trunk but a true Teutonic performance wagon.

Have you checked out the AMG 4DR Sedan that's been seen on the 'Ring?

Apparently an ICE/Hybrid with electric motors on the front axle. 800(equivalent)hp.

I recently had a MB New Car Manager tell me he had seen the car in a MB private setting and was blown away. Quote: "it will completely up-end the high performance sedan market".

I would imagine a RV of about 55% after 3 years from PFS. I would bank on $75k depn year one if you wanted to sell it.

I drove a Panny Turbo at the Porsche Experience Centre the other week. Admittedly it wasn't a turbo S, but the driving dynamics will be very similar. The car was undeniably quick, but it felt like driving a big, floaty boat. Didn't feel tight or racy in the slightest. Put me off buying one: might as well spend 1/5th and just buy an Audi S7 instead. Same feel.
