Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sets New Record on Nurburgring Nordschleife

TapTechNews July 16th news, Porsche released a press release yesterday, stating that its Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid model set a new record of the fastest lap time for luxury fuel vehicles and hybrid models on the Nurburgring Nordschleife (also known as the Green Hell) with a time of 7 minutes, 24.172 seconds.

The Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid model that set the record this time is a pre-production vehicle. Except for equipping the driver Lars Kern with a racing seat and a mandatory roll cage, other parts are no different from the models in the dealership.

The car is equipped with a revolutionary Active Ride suspension for the first time and is equipped with 21-inch Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires.

This time, the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid car achieved a time of 7 minutes and 24 seconds, which is 5.64 seconds faster than the previous-generation Panamera Turbo S and more than 3 seconds faster than the previous record holder Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S.
