Porsche Panamera: Hybrid partially revealed

Porsche has partially revealed some information about an upcoming Porsche Panamera Hybrid.

Although no other information is currently available regarding the Panamera Hybrid, the potentially fuel-saving system could be a factor in attracting sales away from its Aston Martin Rapide and Lamborghini Estoque rivals. Based on these images, it appears the car's Cayenne-sourced V-6 engine is mated to a hybrid module and spindly actuator, while battery packs are located at the car's rear. The use of a V-6 as the basis of the hybrid model makes perfect sense considering the unit's power and fuel-efficiency benefits over the bigger V-8.
