2025 Porsche Panamera

More versions of the new Porsche Panamera continue to trickle out, and for the 2025 model year, two additional variants join the lineup. The Panamera GTS uses a twin-turbo V8 engine to produce 493 horsepower, while the range-topping Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid turns up the wick on everything, using a plug-in hybrid system to crank out 771 hp and 737 lb-ft of torque. Goodness gracious.

Panamera GTS: What's new?

Visually, the GTS is set apart from other Panamera models with its 21-inch wheels, black logos, unique front fascia, black-surround LED headlights and red brake calipers. There are also matte black side skirts, fascia inserts, side window surrounds and a panel on the rear bumper. What we really love are the dark bronze exhaust pipes, though; it's a nice little bit of flair.

Inside, the GTS has Race-Tex suede-ish fabric, which can be matched with either Carmine Red or Slate Grey accent stitching. GTS models come with a Bose surround-sound stereo and the all-important Sport Chrono package, which unlocks the push-to-pass button on the steering wheel for immediate power delivery.

Speaking of which, power delivery in this thing is ample. The GTS is powered by a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine with 493 hp — a 20-hp increase over its predecessor. Porsche estimates the GTS can sprint to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds. Not bad for a big sedan like this.

Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid: Holy moly

Now, if it's outright speed you're after, the new Turbo S E-Hybrid is the Panamera for you. This version combines the aforementioned 4.0-liter V8 with a 25.9-kWh battery pack, and total system output is measured at 771 hp and 737 lb-ft of torque. This allows the top-dog Panamera to scoot to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds and top out at an eye-watering 202 mph.

You'll be able to spot the Turbo S E-Hybrid thanks to its yellow carbon-ceramic brake calipers, which can also be done up in acid green (we approve). The Turbo S E-Hybrid also comes with model-specific 21-inch center-lock wheels.

Expensive? You betcha

Neither of these Panamera variants comes cheap. The GTS starts at $156,195, while the Turbo S E-Hybrid commands $228,495. Both prices include $1,995 for destination, and of course, those numbers are before you peruse Porsche's extensive options catalog.

The GTS and Turbo S E-Hybrid will join the rest of the Porsche Panamera models in early 2025.

The Panamera remains a niche model for Porsche; it's historically been one of the brand's top sellers. That said, Porsche wouldn't be Porsche if it didn't offer a million variants of each model. We can't wait to test these two V8-powered stormers.
