New details on the 2012 Porsche Panamera Hybrid.Various sources are reporting that the German automaker has given the 2011 Porsche Panamera Hybrid the green light for production.

Power will get extracted from the same system used in the Cayenne Hybrid, which means the 2011 Porsche Panamera Hybrid will use a 3.0-litre V6 that packs 329 bhp that will receive an additional 46 bhp from an electric motor.

The 2011 Porsche Panamera Hybrid will be able to run on just its electric motor or just the 3.0-litre V6 and the company’s 8-speed automatic transmission is expected to spin the wheels.

So the 2011 Porsche Panamera Hybrid will be the second model with a hybrid powertrain other than the Cayenne and starting from next year the automaker will also begin tests with three electric Boxters.

Not much is known about the 2012 Porsche Panamera Hybrid so any information we can get is fine by us. And seeing since the 25,000th Panamera just rolled off the Leipzig plant in Germany today, it’s nice to know that the Hybrid version is not getting forgotten. What we hear about the future hybrid is that it will share the same engine as the Cayenne S Hybrid. This means the green Panamera will be loaded with a 3.0L supercharged V6 engine that will produce 333hp. This will be combined with an electric motor that will develop 47hp. Together these two components will allow the Panamera Hybrid to deliver 380hp and 427lb.-ft. of torque at 1,000rpm. If fuel economy matches the Cayenne S Hybrid as well then the Panamera will be looking at 34.4mpg.

The price for the 2012 Porsche Panamera Hybrid expectated From $105,000.
