what’s New: Key Changes

1. the arrival of the powertrain

the biggest change for this model is undoubtedly the introduction of the hybrid system. porsche has dubbed this new system “halo,” and it’s aimed at maximizing performance, not just improving fuel economy. The combination of an electric turbo and an electric motor integrated into the eight-speed PDK transmission dramatically reduces the nagging turbo lag and delivers plenty of torque at low revs. a lightweight, high-voltage battery minimizes weight gain while delivering instant response.

2. finely honed interior and exterior design

on the outside, you’ll notice the standard Matrix LED headlights. the more advanced HD Matrix LEDs are available as an option. the interior features increased digitalization. a new digital instrument cluster and a more intuitive infotainment system (UI) maximize the driver’s connection to the vehicle.
