2018 Pana Turbo S E-Hybrid released
Dealer called to say it's released from the Houston port and should be here in Chicago area in a few days. I guess the EPA cert is done. Looking forward to this new daily driver. Replacing a 2016 Pana Turbo S. The A/B comparison will be interesting. For those of you waiting, it shouldn't be long now.

He said it had been released to transportation on April 6. Should be soon! Whoopee!!!! |
Both of you have really nice, slim collections. Very cool! OP, your red 12 o'clock marker is an absolute delight.

My Turbo S e-hybrid arrived at the dealer today after having been at the port since last November. |

Very nice - would love to experience the pull on a warm dry day with l/c!

Do tell...I have a Turbo S Sport Turismo coming in a few months...would love to hear some driving impressions.
thx Golf cart mode is amazing. I love it and our Mission E future is looking bright. I think the world needs a little more infrastructure before all electric is the best solution. Golf cart plus twin turbo V-8 is really fun and sounds great. The ride in the previous turbo S was a deal breaker and kept me away. It’s not supposed to be a GT. I’m sure suspension technology and programmability has come a long way because it handles well and has a really nice ride now. Best factory sound system ever put in a car. Technology, fit and finish are impressive. Even the green looks good - sporty but still classy enough. Its a current S class with Porsche looks, feel and performance. |
CHADW,
Did you have a chance to compare that to a normal e-Hybrid. I was tossing up a coin to go for the "S" or not. 134K vs 205K. I was thinking on a normal day to day drive, the lighter e Hybrid would be actually quicker 0-30 or 0-40. But once those v8-turbo spins up, that must be explosive. I really which they would make a 4S 440hp engine + the electric engine instead of 330hp engine + Electric engine. Something like a 4s+ Hybrid for about 35K more. |

It’s not a standard car with a bigger engine much like a GT car is not a Carrera with more power. It feels like an exercise to build the best car possible, cost be damned. Considering it’s essentially the same price as a 911 Turbo S, not only is it an amazing value but I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t lose money on every one. I expect depreciation to be swift and therefore an expensive car to own but worth every penny. As far as power is concerned, I would go the other way. I’d happily give up 100 ICE hp for 100 more electric. 350-400hp each would be so good at everything. |
