Porsche might be going all in on its electric-vehicle (EV) lineup, but the Panamera sedan will soldier on. The 2025 Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid and GTS will be two of the most powerful Panameras of all time, as they'll be seeing the end of the line soon. Both new variants use an updated V8 engine with new turbochargers and dual-clutch automatic transmissions (DCT) that snap off shifts to remind us that internal combustion remains relevant.

You'll recognize the GTS by its black exterior badging, red calipers, and other GTS-specific equipment, such as black LED headlights. Like all GTS variants in the Porsche lineup, the Panamera GTS is focused on handling performance and features a blacked-out look and plush interior.
When the new Panamera GTS arrives in early 2025, it will cost $154,200, including the $1,995 destination charge. The Turbo S E-Hybrid costs nearly as much as a 911 GT3 RS, with a starting price of $226,500, including the destination charge. Paying that much for a four-door Porsche sounds insane, but the 771-horsepower hybrid just lapped the famous Nürburgring racetrack in 7:24.17 minutes. You pay for that level of performance.

Porsche tweaked the Panamera lineup's design for the 2024 model year with updated front ends, new LED headlights, and more pronounced fenders. The lineup is complete now that the GTS and Turbo S E-Hybrid have received the updates. Those looking for visual flair will want the GTS. Along with all the black exterior treatments, Porsche equips it with bronze tailpipes and an LED lightbar that expands across the car’s entire rear.
While the GTS gets red brake calipers, the new Turbo S E-Hybrid has carbon ceramic discs and is easily distinguished by its yellow or neon green-painted calipers behind 21-inch center-lock wheels. Porsche also reserves Turbonite grey for the Turbo models. You’ll find it on some of the exterior trim and within the cabin. An available carbon fiber aero package adds air blades to the front of the car, side skirts, and a rear diffuser to keep the car planted at high speeds.

Porsche uses the same Turbonite grey throughout the interior trim, stitching, and seat belts as the exterior trim of the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid. Porsche says that the Panamera's new cabin uses tech from the Taycan electric sedan, including the wall of touchscreens in the front row. It also moved the gear selector on the dashboard between the gauge cluster and the central touchscreen. There's another screen in front of the passenger, but Porsche applies tint so the driver can't see what’s on it.
Inside the GTS, Porsche uses its suede-like Race-Tex material, and buyers can choose exclusive Carmine Red or Slate Grey Neo interiors with matching stitching. A Bose sound system is standard, and a carbon fiber interior package is available.

Both new Panameras are powered by a 4.0-liter V8 that now uses a single-scroll turbocharger rather than a twin-scroll design to raise peak boost. Porsche also re-engineered the eight-speed DCT to handle the massive torque of the Turbo S E-Hybrid's electrified powertrain. It puts out a total of 771 hp and 737 pound-feet of torque—significant improvements over the prior Turbo S E-Hybrid.
Porsche says the new Turbo S E-Hybrid will reach 60 mph in 2.8 seconds on its way to the 200-plus-mph club. A set of Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires is available—the same used on the record-breaking 'Ring run.
Porsche developed a unique set of adaptive dampers specifically for hybrid Panameras. The Turbo S E-Hybrid also has all of Porsche's available traction aids, a rear-axle steering system, and carbon ceramic brakes.
The Panamera GTS's V8 engine forgoes electric assist and makes 493 hp. Porsche says it will launch the GTS to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds and reach 188 mph. The company also tweaked the exhaust to make it sound meaner. It gets standard adaptive dampers and air springs for an ever-so-slightly-lower ride height. It also has Porsche's electronically controlled limited-slip rear differential for increased cornering abilities.
2025 Porsche Panamera GTS and Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Safety and Technology - Find the best Porsche Panamera deals!

Porsche updated some of the Panamera's standard safety features when it released the other variants for the 2024 model year. The adaptive cruise control now has lane-keeping assistance, and the automatic emergency braking system can help maneuver around obstacles.
A 12.6-inch curved digital gauge display faces the driver, and a 10.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system runs Porsche's newest software, though you can override it with standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A second 10.9-inch display for the front-seat passenger provides additional access to entertainment features.
The Panamera doesn't generate as much money as the Macan crossover. However, especially in its top Turbo S E-Hybrid trim, it is one of the best high-performance sedans available, and the competition remains thick. BMW just hybridized the M5 for the first time; it makes 717 hp from its twin-turbo V8 hybrid. Mercedes-Benz also has an electrified hotrod sedan with the AMG GT 63 S E Performance, which has 813 hp and a massive 1,082 pound-feet of torque. Indeed, there's no shortage of choices for high-performance sedans.
