You’ve heard it well, the guys from Porsche AG declared in a recent conference that they will soon unveil the hybrid version ot their yet-to-be released Panamera sports sedan. They initial plan was to build a hybrid-powertrain version of the next generation Cayenne SUV in 2010, but it seems they will build these 2 models simultaneosly (the cars will sport the same full-hybrid system capable of running on its gas engine, solely via its electric motor, or a combination of the two).

Anyway, don’t be too excited about the Panamera Hybrid, cos you can buy it as late as 2013, but it will make its debut in 2009 with a non-hybrid drive. As we’ve heard from unofficial sources, it seems that Porsche is investing more than €1 billion in the development of the Panamera, which is a premium-class Sports Coupé with four seats and four doors. Porsche also promises that buying this hybrid car, you will see some minuses at the fuel bills. Compared to the conventionally powered Panamera, Porsche claims 30 percent better fuel economy. We’ll have to wait and see because we won’t belive it until we see it.
