2012 porsche panamera s hybrid 03 590x368 2012 Porsche Panamera S HybridEPA ratings are still forthcoming, but on the European combined test cycle, the Panamera S Hybrid is expected to achieve up to 35 mpg when rolling on low-resistance tires. However, based purely on fuel consumption, Porsche’s PR people have a point. The automaker pegs consumption at 6.8 liters/100 km on the Euro cycle (down from 10.3 for the S’ 4.8-liter V8). U.S. EPA figures haven’t been released yet, but figuring the Cayenne Hybrid – equipped with the same drivetrain and coming in some 600 pounds heavier – manages 20/24 mpg, a combined figure in the high 20s should be easily within reach.
