2014 Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid

Classic Car Addict is proud to present this awesome 2014 Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid for sale in our Mesa, AZ showroom. The Panamera S e-Hybrid is what is known as a parallel plug-in hybrid. This design allows the car to operate on electric power, the gasoline engine, or a combination of both when the driver is looking for acceleration. With a twist of the key, the car comes to life, but not with the roar of a conventional Porsche automobile. Instead, at the touch of a console-mounted button, the car will operate in E-Power mode on electric power alone. This hybrid does not have to be owned by someone simply looking for gains in fuel efficiency. It is designed for someone looking for a performance-oriented, electric driving experience, with fuel efficiency served as an afterthought. The smooth integration of powerful electric capabilities with combustion power is what makes this Panamera S E-Hybrid so special. It is remarkable to drive, and it offers Porsche-like control over many of the hybrid performance parameters. This is the dark (and fun) side of hybrid motoring. Finished in Basalt Black Metallic paint, we love the bright lime green Brembo brake calipers against the black. The new Panamera S E-Hybrid version offers the same exterior language seen in the standard version. There is a redesigned front fascia with new headlamps and larger air intake. Around the backside there's a wider spoiler and redesigned rear lights. The new S E-Hybrid model can be distinguished by a series of E-Hybrid logos placed on the front doors, sill plates and the rear. The interior is finished in a beautiful natural leather in Cognac. The Panamera's family resemblance is strong inside, boasting the same tall, rising, button-festooned center console found in every other Porsche model. Those buttons (we've counted as many as 80 inside) are a polarizing element: Some find them overwhelming, while others appreciate the direct nature of one button, one task as opposed to digging your way through various menu functions on a display screen. The Panamera still has a touchscreen for most infotainment functions and generally works well, but its 7-inch size can be nearly half of some rival systems. Standard tech features include a navigation system, a 7-inch central touchscreen, smartphone app integration, Bluetooth connectivity and an 11-speaker sound system with satellite and HD radios, an auxiliary audio jack, a USB port, and a media player interface. The Edition trims add special badging and design cues, the Turbo's 20-inch wheels, Cognac leather upholstery, a power-adjustable sport steering wheel, 14-way power front seats with heat in the front. The rear-wheel-drive plug-in Panamera S E-Hybrid receives an Audi-sourced supercharged 3.0-liter V6 that's paired with a 95-hp electric motor for a combined output of 416 hp. The transmission is a conventional eight-speed automatic. The EPA estimates that it will return 25-mpg combined when driven in hybrid mode when the plug-in portion of its battery has been depleted. This electric motor will take its power from a newly developed 9.4 kHw lithium-ion battery and requires only about 4 hours to be recharged. The new electric system produces more than double the horsepower of the first-generation Hybrid and holds five times the energy capacity in its batteries. The new S E-Hybrid can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds and up to a top speed of 167 mph. The 2014 Porsche Panamera is a curious automotive creature. It has the feature content, interior quality and price tag of a flagship luxury sedan, yet it has only four seats and the hatchback body style of, well, a hatchback. It has the interior design and performance soul of a 911, and the exterior styling of one that wants to be seen. The Panamera really is like nothing else on the road, and that just makes it even more special. Own this beauty today, call us at 480-256-1459.
