Hybrid version of the Panamera and the 911 racing car to debut in Paris

Paris/Stuttgart. Two worlds, two global debuts: At the Paris Motor Show, Porsche is celebrating the debut of two sports cars with completely different characters – the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid and a 911 racing car. The new Gran Turismo combines a performance-oriented hybrid drive and sustainable e-mobility with dynamic sportiness and luxurious driving comfort. By contrast, the new edition of the world’s best-selling racing car, the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup, is reserved exclusively for the race track. The new Panamera range as a whole and the Macan Turbo equipped with performance package will also be unveiled to the public in Paris for the first time at the Paris Motor Show.

The Panamera 4 E-Hybrid delivers a system power of 340 kW (462 hp) thanks to the combination of a 2.9-litre V6 petrol engine with an output of 243 kW (330 hp) and a 100-kW electric motor. The maximum torque of the vehicle is 700 Nm with an electric range of 50 kilometres.

Both global debuts will be presented at the Porsche stand in hall 4, stand 212, at the Paris Expo, Porte de Versailles.

But if you remember, only the 2.0L version could rev to 9k (500cc cylinders). The 911 Flat-6 equivalent would be only 3.0L. When they raised the displacement to 2.157L (3.2L Flat-6 equivalent) the redline was held to 8k (or 8,200 rpm in some markets)...

yeah I know I had an MK2 version for nearly 5 years (bought new...wish I had the space to have kept it), which was generally more 'drivable'

Doesn't seem like a turbo as it's missing the rear bumper grills for the intercooler.. but doesn't seem like a GT car as it's riding quite high and the wing is a weird combo of the duck tail with a wing on top? That's a tricky one!

agree, maybe a poser like that that one german poster, who purchased a Carrera and then tried to make the outside look like a GT3
