Introduction
Following the successful launch of the 2017 Porsche Panamera, which showcased a significant and attractive redesign alongside enhanced performance, the German automotive company has recently unveiled its latest model for 2018, the Panamera Sport Turismo.
Exterior Design
The exterior design differs slightly from the sedan version, particularly in the rear shape of the vehicle. It's evident that the size at the back has increased somewhat, enhancing overall aesthetics while also providing more storage space in the trunk. The sides of the car retain a similar look to the sedan, but the distinct rear design makes it easily identifiable.
Engines and Performance
In terms of power and features, the Sport Turismo will be offered in four variants, all equipped with all-wheel drive. The available engines are:
- Turbocharged 6-cylinder engine producing 330 horsepower.
- 2.9-liter twin-turbo 6-cylinder engine generating 440 horsepower.
- Hybrid version with a 2.9-liter twin-turbo 6-cylinder engine, delivering a combined output of 462 horsepower.
- High-performance variant with a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, producing 550 horsepower.
Acceleration
Porsche claims that the base model can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 5 seconds, while the hybrid model achieves this in approximately 4.4 seconds. The next variant can reach 100 km/h in just 4 seconds, which is a second faster than the standard model. The most powerful version can accelerate to 100 km/h in only 3.4 seconds.
Pricing
The base model is priced at $97,250, while the hybrid version and the third variant (S) are priced at $105,050 and $110,250 respectively. The most powerful version is available for $155,050.
