When it comes to hybrid vehicles, it can be difficult to maintain an excellent MPG while continually pushing the power through your car that allows it maintain a speed of over 70MPH.  This is where the Porsche Panamera Hybrid sports car has the advantage over all the rest.  Who wouldn’t want to maintain their 52 MPG capabilities while still being able to drive the quick speed their used to?

These readings of 52 mpg over 100 or so miles of cruise-control travel exploited the Porsche system’s ability to power the car electrically at speeds of 70MP, though many hybrids only run in all-electric mode up to about 30 mph.

The 2012 Porsche Panamera S Hybrid is EPA rated at 22 mpg city, 30 mpg highway, for a combined overall rating of 25 mpg, so you can see how exciting the discovery of this exploit was.  In a time when many car companies are being taken to court for advertising more MPG than they actually have, Porsche is able to double their advertised MPG under certain conditions.

As with most auto manufacturers, Porsche’s goal of upping their fuel efficiency is a major theme of the near future.  Unlike many automakers, Porsche is not willing to compromise even a little bit of performance in their vehicles.  The opposite, in fact.  They want their fuel efficiency and performance to both climb simultaneously.  Their priority is for their customers to always feel like they’re driving the best in sports cars, no matter what the MPG.

The Macan compact crossover is something Porsche enthusiasts have been looking forward to for some time now.  The Macan is a 4 cylinder with a fuel economy focus geared towards the younger and more urban populous.  The compact SUV crossover is one of the fastest growing segments in the industry right now and Porsche has estimated selling over 50,000 Macans for its debut year.
