Porsche announced today that its new Panamera S Hybrid will make its debut in 2011, and that it will be the second hybrid addition in its lineup, next to the Cayenne S Hybrid.

The new car is expected to receive the same technology found on the Cayenne: a supercharged V6 petrol engine as well as an electric motor, capable to deliver a total output of 380 hp and peak torque of 580 Nm/427 lb-ft at just 1,000 rpm. The petrol engine delivers 333 hp while the 34 kW (47 hp) electric motor is the ideal partner with its torque at low speeds. The new car will act as an all-electric car only for short distances and with speeds of up to 60 km/h or almost 40 mph.
