Test Porsche Panamera: Emissionsfrei sailing at 165 km/h


The Porsche Panamera S hybrid is the next Porsche going sailing. With 380 HP, he is to Sprint as well as save. We were already on board and report of the trip.

No, you must bear no life vest with the Sextant, navigate or blindfolded knot a Bowline, if you the Porsche Panamera Hybrid Board S. He is actually a normal five meter sport sedan.
Almost certainly because he can sail. But later, we go S first aboard the 106.000 EUR seater Porsche Panamera Hybrid, there is already a Panamera 4S with all-wheel drive and V8 instead of six with rear-wheel drive for its cost.
There are two engines for 106.000 EUR
However the Porsche Panamera has S only a motor, the Porsche Panamera S hybrid whose two: the three litre V6 developed by Audi with compressor boot and 333 HP, as well as a (supplied by Bosch) E machine with 47 HP.
PS are one thing, the torque is more important, and because the two drives in the Porsche Panamera S ally hybrid such as pitch and sulfur. Below 3,000/min, where the v6 brings still breath, the electric motor has already 300 nm to the rotor, and if the Stromer obenraus which is air, jumps the petrol engine in the breach. Thus, it is clear that the power of the two not adds up, but useful supplements.
A hybrid and not a power split planetary is hybrid of the Porsche Panamera S about to the Toyota / Lexus models. He works with a converter eight-speed automatic. Between her and the V6, the nearly 15 centimeters thick hybrid engine, is consisting of from the electric motor with a separating clutch in the direction of V6. Advantage: The motors can be separated, and there are dynamically looking gear changes instead of a continuous translation.
Silent start-up
After the key rotation of the Porsche Panamera V6 is S hybrid silent, and you can start directly electrical in contrast to the brother of Cayenne. Best after pressure on the E drive button, up to 85 km/h fast or two km wide, depending on the system temperature and the level of charge of the nickel metal hydride battery.
The latter holds 1.7 kWh and is located in the rear, where it is now held by a separate evaporator temperature happy. About this and more, the hybrid Manager watches. None of these bonus fixated, business essenden business service travellers with excessive corporate credit card, but a quiet, informed, which pulls the strings in the background. Among other things he knows in which load range is the v6 feels most comfortable, Yes, it's gas for the driver of the Porsche Panamera S hybrid unnoticed even sometimes for the E machine generator for free again supplying this energy in the battery.
At the meeting you can to succeed thus: "My hybrid Manager has ordered once again a few this load point shifts to help charge exchange and recuperation." Open mouths.
You can observe also when driving for Porsche would not Porsche, the Porsche Panamera S hybrid not also longitudinal and transverse to speed up. Sure, there are perhaps more instrument as roller resistance low all-weather option tyre, but even with which pierces the eco Panamera liquid through tricky passages. The electro-hydraulic steering works precisely like a 60s years accountant, the standard air suspension can be by just as many bumps as you called it from a Gran Turismo.
Elsewhere, there are flying carpets. Sailing to 165 not pace. Up to this limit, turned off the v6 when not needed and almost disengaged what the Porsche Panamera S hybrid flywheel nutzend emissions that roles can be. It will again go on, the electric motor accelerates the v6 internally, before it is engaged. Jerk-free in up to 300 milliseconds, a braking torque fears are unfounded. Only a minimal delay is noticeable and also the reason why is sailing with a speed limit: otherwise the time gap would bothered too large, the man-machine contact. But that's typical of the porsche tiptop.
However, if you require the Bose sound system, must give away some of the already scarce 335-litre trunk: under the cargo floor, where once lived the subwoofer, is now the battery of the Porsche Panamera S hybrid. A lasslicher loss if POPs for with savings tire a NEDC consumption of 6.8 L / 100 km out, which you must exceed with some driving pedal feel in practice not to more than two to three litres. It can however, if the line is sometimes free, and it pressiert. Where - at rate of 200 of the Porsche Panamera V6 is S just 3000/min. sailing light instead of Powerboating hybrid in eighth gear. Ahoy, Porsche Panamera S hybrid, the diesel is already waiting.
