2013 Porsche Panamera Hybrid - Cars.com News (blog)
Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP), also known as "sticker" price, is a recommended selling price that automakers give a new car that is above the invoice price paid by the dealer. The 2013 Porsche Panamera S Hybrid is both an outstanding sport sedan and an impressive hybrid — but at this price, you'll have to really want green credentials to choose it over a Panamera Turbo model. Unlike the cars themselves, reviews of Porsche vehicles tend to be boring and predictable: gushing prose over how amazing it is to drive, how its handling is incredible, how it's faster or more visceral, etc. Yet the Panamera hatchback sedan, Porsche's first four-door that isn't an SUV, doesn't get the universal praise heaped upon the 911 or the Cayman, largely due to its awkward styling. Throw in the first-ever hybrid version, introduced for 2012 and carried over almost unchanged for 2013 (see them compared ), and some questions will be raised — such as, does putting a hybrid powertrain in an unusual-looking sports car make it... Is there a buyer out there for a $100,000 four-door hybrid-electric Porsche. The "why" is actually fairly simple: All automakers are required to meet increasingly stringent emissions standards for carbon dioxide in Europe, Porsche's home market. the Panamera S Hybrid is therefore the cleanest Porsche ever sold, emitting only 159 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer.
