Porsche Hybrid vehicles retain high performance while giving back a few miles per gallon at the pump. The buyer can still
sport about town while sporting a hybrid badge.
Porsche HEVs have come a long way in the past 110 years.
The worlds first hybrid was the Lohner Porsche, a 4 wheel
drive gas electric car. Porsche hybrids were over the top cars
in 1900, and still are.
The Cayenne S Hybrid combines power with poise. This SUV
will move fast and return over 20 mpg highway. It is one
versatile rig.
The internal combustion (ICE) supercharged V6 engine keeps torque on tap. The 47 horse, 288 volt motor provides starting, alternator functions, and extra power to the wheels. The ICE
also contains vaviable valve timing technology.
An 8-speed transmission finds proper gear ratios for most driving conditions from rapid acceleration to descent down steep grades. The unit is able to select shift points based on driving situations. The Tiptronic S is a highly advanced power transmitting unit.
Ride height can be dynamically adjusted. Cayenne models equipped with air suspension systems feature self-leveling, ride-height control. The vehicle may be moved vertically from a few inches to 11 inches above ground level.
The Porsche Hybrid can handle all kinds of terrain and off highway conditions from mud to steep slopes and snow. Traction management provides smart distribution of power in the proper amounts to the wheels that most need it.

You may now place an order for a street legal racing Porsche Hybrid. This car is well powered, with a 500-horsepower V8 gas engine and two electric motors. The motors in the front and rear axles produce nearly 220 additional horsepower.
As for performance, the 918 will reach some 200 miles per hour. Zero-to-60 acceleration is just 3.1 seconds. The 918 Spyder will also be able to hit over 90 mph on the electric motors alone.
