Motor Envy: The Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid is a luxury sports car that you can plug in

The Panamera S E-Hybrid is Porsche’s first plug-in hybrid.

What’s this then?

This is the Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid, the first plug-in hybrid car from the German carmaker. This particular model can be yours for €78,995.

What’s so special about it?

The Porsche Panamera is sporty as well as practical: a sports car and luxury saloon all rolled up in one slinky package.

Any standout design features?

The Porsche Panamera looks slinky but it is rather spacious inside thanks to some clever design. The saloon looks sporty and athletic with a taut roof line that makes it appear more like a two-seater but once inside you’ll see that it is a four-seater and the boot can hold a generous amount of cargo.

DoneDeal DoneDeal

And what powers this Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid?

Underneath that lovely long bonnet is a 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine plus an electric motor. The combined power output of the two is 416hp.

DoneDeal DoneDeal

Does the Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid have any luxurious touches?

This particular example certainly does. The exterior is pimped out with 20-inch Panamera sport wheels finished in high gloss black with funky acid green brake callipers. There’s also some quad exhausts around the back and the rear windows get privacy glass.

The interior has black leather sports seats which are heated and electronically adjustable. Matching this is the gloss black interior trim with brushed aluminium accents.

Safety features include Porsche stability management, Xenon headlights, air suspension, an electric boot opening, parking assist, cruise control, satellite navigation, reversing camera, heated rear seats and an automatic boot spoiler.

DoneDeal DoneDeal

But who would drive this car?

Those who want a seriously sporty car but also have a family to think about so need something that is practical too. This car is also great for those who want to keep running costs low thanks to its fairly economical fuel consumption.

    Turkey has been threatening this for a while… These people want to get to EU countries mostly France and Germany and former EU country the UK, but Europe is not assisting the Turks, it’s only a matter of time again…. and many of these could be ISIS fighters wanting to return home…. They need to be accessed with proper documentation and all finger printed, just like the EU does with African refugess/asylum seekers.

    @SFAnkleTapper: there is none…. Asylum seekers only have to give their fingerprints at the point of application for Asylum. Many of the ISiS fighters will be returning to their home countries UK /Belgium /France men of Arab origin who destroyed their documentation who will be moonlighting as Syrian refugees. Hence my point a record needs to be kept of these individuals.
    If they are genuine they have nothing to hide. The fingerprinting is to keep a record of any future incidents.

    Turkey is chomping at the bit for a land grab & war with Syria, The SAA are battle hardened and have the support of Russia, Erdogan will get his ass handed to him along with his aspirations for Turkish conquest.
    Greece should take no more refugees with militants in the mix. The Greeks of Lesbos and Chios have made it clear they will take no more.

    @Raven: That’s all well and good, but if the Turks are brought into a War it could lead to them at war with Iran, that will result in an attack on the toxic state of Israel. That will bring in the US and Nato…

    Turkey has been asking for assistance with this a long time. The refugess dont want to be in Turkey they want to be in the EU. That’s the problem..

    @Paul O’Sullivan: has its stands. Very large amounts of refugees /migrants from the middle east who are mostly Muslims have landed on Europe’s shores and have gain entry into Europe mainland . There is many issues with integration with the local populations,these people would be arriving from strict Islamic society’s.they would have sever problems with western cultures and liberal values. could these people not be relocated to mostly Moslem countries where their culture and religious values would be respected and inforced

    @Paul O’Sullivan: You say the refugees want to be in the EU, but where they really want to be is at home in the communities they grew up in and live in. Tens of thousands of ordinary people are being murdered and used as pawns by the Turkish regime and others to further their objectives in the region.

    @Paul O’Sullivan: “if the Turks are brought into a War”

    Turkey is at war with Syria.

    In the past 2 weeks the Turks have destroyed 5% of Syria’s armour, kiled 100s of Syrian government troops, and today they shot down two Syrian jets and destryed several air defence systems.

    Here’s is video footage of Turkish troops firing an anti-aircraft missile from a rooftop, shooting down a Syrian government helicopter 2 weeks ago (could so easily have been Russian), with Al Qeada aillied fighters cheering in the foreground (loud warning):

    https://twitter.com/Adnan_Alhusen/status/1227857701604069376

    Turkey released 10 minutes of footage of them blowing up Syrian army tanks and troops with drones, recorded over the last 2 weeks in Idlib:

    If people have made it to Turkey they were refugees and are now in a safe country. If they are now looking to come to an EU country then they are migrants.

    @SFAnkleTapper: Looks like the Greeks have had enough, Greek military personnel and hardware are en route to the borders/. transit points with Turkey, Lesbos locals have burned down the UN migrant centers so no more can be received and today with Erdogans announced threat that he’d release refugees to Greece, Soros NGOs of German origin showed up on Lesbos only to be ran off and told to leave by the local Greeks. More blood and misery that originated with Merkel.

    The problem is the war.
    The solution is not to just put these people into Europe.They are not entitled automatic entry to Europe, like anyone else.The Greeks need help from EU to keep their borders and people and way of life as they see fit.
    What is the response of oil rich middle Eastern countries to this crisis? There are camps suitable for housing millions in Saudi Arabia for example.
    Can EU not help build camps in Turkey and when the war is over most people would go home no ?
    Yes Turkey may need some help with this refugee side of the war they are in , like the €6 billion from the EU which is probably now spent.
    They are seeking aid and at war.
    They do deal very generously with millions of refugees from Syria and do need help.
