The recently launched Porsche Panamera S Hybrid is headed to the big time as Porsche has just announced that Jimmy Johnson’s number 48, Chad Knauss will have the pleasure of lapping the sports sedan during the Sprint Cup. According to the email we received, Johnson said he needed an edge to beat out Kyle Busch and his Toyota Camry and he thought the Panamera S Hybrid would be the way to go. The Panamera would be further prepared to tackle the circuits with the use of the Sports Intelligence Performance Hybrid running gear borrowed from the GT3 RS and 918 Race Lab and a V8/KERS system developed with Williams Grand Prix Engineering. Johnson commented on this decision by saying that "having Porsche on the grid will get people excited about something, ANYthing, that he does and will hopefully erase some of his reputation of being boring. ’Maybe.’" If you haven’t guessed by now, this is 100% an April Fool’s joke. Did they get ya? .
13 comments: Porsche Panamera S Hybrid headed to NASCAR It actually isn’t all that surprising that they will be heading to NASCAR. The Panamera is definitely one of Porsche’s best cars so it surely deserves a shot.
 Well now, this one is definitely a surprise. I know that Porsche is into racing, but I am surprised that they would be running the Panamera S for this one.
