Turbo S 4.0 V8 (782 Hp) E-Hybrid PDK Verdict:

Rating 5 stars

Performance Verdict

Unleashes breathtaking performance with 782 Hp and 1000 Nm, delivering supercar-rivalling acceleration (0-100 km/h in 3 seconds) thanks to its potent V8 and electric motor synergy.

Fuel Economy

Remarkably efficient for its power, with a significant all-electric range (78-82 km WLTP) for daily commutes, resulting in incredibly low combined WLTP fuel consumption figures. However, sustained high-performance driving will consume petrol rapidly.

Best Use Case: High-performance luxury cruising, executive transport with a thrill, occasional track days, and efficient daily commuting on electric power.

Pros and Cons:

Pros:

  • • Phenomenal performance across the lineup, especially the Turbo S E-Hybrid.
  • • Luxurious and spacious Executive interior with advanced technology.
  • • Impressive all-electric range for a performance PHEV.
  • • Exceptional ride comfort and handling balance for its size.
  • • Distinctive and elegant liftback design.

Cons:

  • • Very high purchase price and expensive options.
  • • Increased kerb weight due to hybrid components.
  • • Complex infotainment system can have a learning curve.
  • • Rear headroom might be tight for very tall passengers despite Executive wheelbase.
