Test Drive: 2012 Porsche Panamera Hybrid

I've had the opportunity to test drive a lot of cars. From sedans to sports cars to SUVs to crossovers to hybrids; I've seen and tried out the whole spectrum of our nation's automobiles.  But sometimes, a car comes along that's so unique, I just have to do a double take. Sometimes a car comes along and breaks the mold of the same old same old, and a it's refreshing taste at what our collective driving experience could be like.  I had just that feeling when I met the all new Porsche Panamera Hybrid at my local Philadelphia Porsche Panamera dealership.  Here's why.

The Panamera S Hybrid contains a twin-supercharged 3.0-liter V6 powerhouse that produces an overall 333-hp coupled with the already 47-hp electric motor.  The advanced hybrid technology allows the Panamera S Hybrid to run completely on gasoline or electric power alone , leaving the driver with an incredible amount of versatility.  Now, family drivers can experience all of the fun in a performance vehicle with the standard features of a sedan.  And with the all new hybrid technology, Porsche proves to us that hybrid vehicles need not be boring.

The Porsche Panamera is already selling more units from your local Philly Porsche dealer than the classic Porsche two-door models, outsold only by the ever popular Porsche Cayenne SUV.  And with the release of the new hybrid model, the Panamera is expected to grow even more in popularity.  Porsche originally led the way in the four-door performance vehicle segment with its daring dive into the family car market, and the decision has paid off.

The all new 2012 Panamera S Hybrid is currently available for purchase at your local Philadelphia Porsche Panamera dealership.  So if you're looking for a car that is practical with a major bite, you'll definitely want to check out the all new 2012 Panamera S Hybrid. It's definitely worth a test drive.
