Porsche's completely fucked up Panamera model scheme.

Fastest one is called turbo S. 

Most powerful one is also called turbo S, but not that same one, but a different one with added hybrid drivetrain. But they also neutered the gas engine from that turbo S and make this turbo S only slightly more powerful than the old one in the old turbo S.

Face lifted turbo is only 690hp, old one is 680hp. What's the point? I am still trying to figure out the styling differences between this new one vs my old one. As far as I can tell, the only difference is the new one has a higher resolution PCM screen. That's it.

Price for the fastest turbo S is CAD$202,400, and the most powerful one is CAD$214,600. In the grand scheme of things, the new turbo S e-hybrid is a great deal, only CAD$12,200 more for all the extra batteries and hybrid stuff, more bang for the buck so to speak. 

I config a new one to be an exact match to my current one, it's only like CAD$3000 more. Not bad.
