Hybrids. Love 'em or hate 'em, they're here to stay for the foreseeable future. Thanks to ever-dwindling natural resources and increased levels of congestion in major cities around the world, the notion of a fuel-sipping runabout vehicle that runs on electric power half the time seems more relevant than it has ever been.
So why is it then that the lead photo you see is that of a Porsche Panamera? Granted, it's not exactly an all-out supercar but it's certainly no Prius as well. Let me explain. This here is the Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid - the second addition to Stuttgart's plug-in range alongside the Cayenne S E-Hybrid. The 918 Spyder doesn't really count as a series production car now, does it?
Launched as part of the facelifted Panamera range in 2013, we managed to sample the latest green Porsche on the streets of fine Singapore - which should prove as the perfect setting to put such a vehicle through its paces with copious amounts of speed cameras coupled to the typical urban crawl of the small city state.
Is the Panamera S E-Hybrid more Prius than sports car? Find out here.
