The Panamera Sport Turismo Turbo S E-Hybrid employs a 14.1kWh lithium-ion battery that can be recharged in 2.4 to 6 hours, depending on the power outlet it's connected. The quickest Panamera can run in full EV mode for up to 31 miles (50km) with a top speed of 87mph (140km/h).

The lithium-ion batteries are fit into the car's floor, thereby reducing the boot space by 95-litres, but the figure stands at 425-litres.

As a standard fitment, the Sport Turismo S E-Hybrid receives 21-inch alloy wheels, Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control and torque vectoring technology.

Additionally, there's a rear limited slip differential and ceramic composite brakes, as well as adaptive three-chamber air suspension with Porsche's Active Suspension Management system.

The car is priced from £140,868 (Rs 1.24 crore) making it the new range-topping variant of Porsche's Audi RS6 Performance and Mercedes-AMG CLS 63 Shooting Brake rival.
