----------

Is there any sports car manufacturer that's remained truer to its heritage than Porsche? The brand has single-handedly built an 85-year legacy out of performance-minded engineering while designing some of the most endearing cars ever produced. And today, as one of the most respected automobile entities on the planet, they enjoy a tremendous following that's spawned a positively gigantic support system. Back in 1988, Dr. Ulrich Bez's 989 concept kick started the marque's foray in to more balanced offerings. But it wasn't until the advent of this Agate Grey stunner that the company got serious about following the market. Displaying only 5,459 original miles, this 2014 Panamera S E-Hybrid wraps a high tech, performance-minded powertrain in classy, 'old world' luxury. If you're looking for a cool modern car that's comfortable, sporty and virtually guaranteed to be exclusive, here's a technological tourer that's just your style!

BODYWORK/TRIM

By mixing an unconventional body with familiar traits and proven performance, the Panamera introduced Porsche to a whole new clientele, completing the brand's transition from hardcore sports cars to SUVs and sedans. Dressed in a classy coat of Agate Grey 2-stage, there's no doubt this swoopy saloon puts a fresh twist on a traditional favorite. The car's pristine body has been meticulously pampered and protected since it rolled off Porsche's Leipzig, Germany assembly line. Its professionally finished surfaces are straight, solid and still possesses every bit of the drama and tension Harm Lagaay's original design inspired. Fit and finish are the typical, high quality stuff you'd expect from a flagship automaker. And today, only two years in to life, it rolls as one of the coolest cruisers on the planet!

ENGINE

With sports car performance, grand touring power and a vastly reduced carbon footprint, this Panamera is a guilt-free way to have your cake and eat it too! Naturally, the car's visual testosterone is backed up with plenty of muscle from the engine room. Benefitting from a concise combination of combustion and electricity, this well-equipped S features a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Powertrain that twists 416 horsepower into 435 lb./ft. of torque. And thanks to Porsche's excellent engineering, that motivation feels both strong and steady. Those stellar numbers add up to a jumbo-size land rocket which is capable of brisk 5.2-second 60 MPH sprints and a top speed of 168. The motor's substantial torque provides grunt throughout the RPM range, creating a very drivable car anywhere from open freeways to rush hour commutes. And, based on appearance, the silky mill has been meticulously maintained and carefully driven.

DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION

As one of the automakers that pioneered nimble, rear-wheel-drive powertrains, Porsche has been generally praised for their exceptionally athletic platforms. Take one look under this svelte cruiser and you'll see just how much work went in to its Nurburgring-proven engineering. The car's independent front and multi-link rear suspension is augmented by adaptive air struts, extensive use of aluminum and the adoption of both Porsche Stability Management and Porsche Active Suspension Management. Torque flows from the smooth powertrain to an 8-speed Tiptronic S transmission. At the corners of the floor, slotted rotors, which slide through beefy 4 and 6-piston calipers, ride behind 20-inch Panamera Sport wheels and sticky Pirelli P Zeros. And overall, the bottom of this basically new Porsche looks great!

INTERIOR

Inside this slick saloon, it's all about a symbiotic relationship between cutting-edge European performance and traditional 'old world' luxury. At the center of the car, heated and leather-lined seats, which are trimmed in attractive aluminum, show hardly any signs of wear. Between those seats, a stylized center stack frames a high end sound system that's complete with both Bluetooth and Navigation. At the base of that stack, like-new carpet, which is protected by thick, “PORSCHE” branded floor mats, anchors a full-length console and aluminum-trimmed shifter between attractive “Panamera S” sills. Above those sills, tight-fitting door panels cap Piano Black trim with aluminum handles. In front of the driver, a smooth-finish leather steering wheel spins monochromatic spokes and small paddle shifters around a colorful crest. And throughout this inviting cockpit you'll find the usual assortment of luxury and convenience features we've all come to expect in high-end automobiles.
