On top of a stunning exterior and an overachieving powertrain, the Panamera also handles just like a Porsche should, thanks to an aluminum suspension—double-wishbone up front and multi-link at the rear. Stabilizer bars and Porsche's stability management help keep the Panamera stuck to the road under hard cornering.
With a base price in excess of $96,000, the Panamera S Hybrid costs more than a non-hybrid Panamera S that rips off a 4.6-second run to 60 mph while still getting a respectable 16 mph city and 24 mpg highway. Is the hybrid system truly worth an extra 4 mpg city and 3 mpg highway? For those who value reduced CO2 emissions and respectable performance in an eco-friendly sports sedan, the answer is probably yes.
