Porsche is marketing their latest bada$$ Panamera E-Hybrid supercar as benefitting from hybrid technology. 460 combined hp, 0-60mph in 4.4 seconds, top speed of 172 mph and all wheel drive. Ferrari claims all their vehicles will be hybrid starting in 2019. Ferrari LaFerrari- 949 combined hp, 217 mph top speed. Wahoo! Hybrids are officially cool.
