Hot News !!!!  2018 Porsche 918 Spyder and Panamera Turbo S E Hybrid on the Racetrack - As the replacement for the last-generation Panamera Turbo S range topper, the Turbo S E-Hybrid stands at the forefront of Porsche’s new, performance-oriented hybrid strategy. Alongside the 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder, it’s tasked with burnishing the credibility of gas-electric powertrains as performance aids. No one will protest if and when top-dog Cayennes and Macans don E-Hybrid badges in the near future, but read between the lines and it’s apparent that Porsche also is greasing the skids for the inevitable hybridized 911.

Our glimpse of Porsche’s performance future started with five laps of the one-year-old Hermann Tilke–designed circuit. The tightly coiled 1.4-mile track plays out through frenetic elevation changes more reminiscent of a roller coaster than any other track we’ve driven. Willowy golden grasses cover the swollen hillsides, helping to obscure the track’s many blind turns, which are made significantly less challenging and thrilling than it could be when every hidden apex turns out to be exactly where you expect it. And while we cornered at a relatively relaxed pace, the Turbo S E-Hybrid’s 680 horsepower could make even the slowest lead-follow exercise feel quick. The car fires out from every apex with the ferocity of a round from an assault rifle.

Porsche bundles the full kit of chassis magic as standard in the Turbo S E-Hybrid, including adaptive dampers and anti-roll bars, an electronically controlled limited-slip differential, and carbon-ceramic brakes. The $195,850 long-wheelbase Executive adds four-wheel steering, which also is available as an option on the standard-wheelbase car. That hardware makes for attentive handling, resolute body control, and tireless braking
