i think you mean environmentaly friendly, and as a reasponsible automaker porsche is obligated to use the most advanced technology in every aspect….it has nothing to do with being able to afford the fuel…geeze.

Hybrid drive could be tuned for performance. The instant torque from the electric motor is always a plus.

It does add unwanted weight, especially in the Panamera. I could understand it in a SUV.
As green as I am I do think it is a bit rediculous though.
