Porsche Panamera GTS (2019 – 2020)

The current 971 generation Porsche Panamera is the latest model from the German marque to receive their always much anticipated, GTS treatment. For the 2019 model year, the second-gen Panamera is now a beneficiary of the badge - which actually stands for ‘Gran Turismo Sport’ - that has come to represent the pragmatist’s choice of Porsche automobile. The Panamera GTS is also now available in a long-roof wagon body style, dubbed the Sport Turismo. The Porsche Panamera GTS Sport Turismo does not have its own unique power plant, but is the beneficiary of a detuned Panamera Turbo engine instead.

Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo (2018 – 2020)

By combining a Porsche Panamera Turbo with the hybrid system already developed for the 4 E-Hybrid, the result is pretty epic. The new Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid sees the sportscar manufacturer launch a plug-in hybrid model as the flagship of a model line for the first time. The four-litre V8 engine from the Panamera Turbo is combined with an electric motor, resulting in 500 kW/680 hp of system power and outstanding power delivery: Even when just above idle speed, the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid offers an 850 Nm of torque. How about 3.4 seconds 0 - 60 mph time???

The Porsche Panamera Turbo also got the Sport Turismo body option in 2018. It is a practical five-seater with lots of room, a great design and stonking performance.It got all the same powerful petrol engine as the sedan version of the Panamera Turbo. Its 4.0-litre biturbo V8 develops 404 kW / 550 hp (at 5,750 rpm) and a maximum torque of 770 Nm (between 1,960 and 4,500 rpm). It has 30 hp more power than the previous model and accelerates to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds.

The Panamera Turbo was the best balance between performance, luxury, and comfort. The new, 4.0-liter twin-turbo engine offered 30 hp more than its predecessor, despite having a smaller displacement. The PASM (Porsche Adaptive Suspension Management) was fitted as an option and so was the Porsche Chrono Package. It was fitted as standard with a 7-speed (PDK – dual-clutch) automatic transmission which sent its torque in all corners via PTM (Porsche Traction Management) system.

Porsche Panamera 4S Diesel Sport Turismo (2018 – 2020)

In 2017, at the Geneva Motor Show, Porsche introduced the Sport Tourismo version. It is like a station wagon but has the look of a Shooting Brake. With this design, the Panamera is further away from the 911 rear design. A larger trunk means more space for luggage and golf bags. If the rear seats are folded, the total trunk space can reach 1390 liters (49 cu-ft). In 2017, Porsche installed a V8-diesel engine in the Panamera Sport Tourismo.

Porsche Panamera 4S Diesel (2017 – 2020)

In the Panamera 4S Diesel, a V8 with 310 kW/422 hp generates powerful thrust and a maximum torque of 850 Nm. And our friends in Europe love that kind of power in a sports sedan, which is why Porsche built this car for them. Add some all-wheel-drive security and Diesel mileage, and the Panamera 4S Diesel may be the ultimate cross-continent cruiser.

Porsche Panamera 4S Sport Turismo (2018 – 2020)

The 2017 Panamera 4S Sport Tourismo was more like a shooting-brake than a station-wagon. More like a lowered Macan than a station-wagon Panamera. Its raked rear looked like it was there to enhance the aerodynamic rather than increase the cargo area. For the powertrain, the 4s Sport Tourismo featured a twin-turbo V6 engine mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission and an all-wheel-drive system.

Porsche Panamera 4S (2017 – 2020)

The second generation of the Panamera was introduced as a 2017 model year car and the full suite of variants was available straight out of the gates. They all got a visual update and lots of improvements across the board. The Panamera 4S featured 19” light-alloy wheels and only two colors as standard: black and white as standard. The engine was a new 2.9 L twin-turbo V6 which was good for 434 bhp @ 5650 rpm and 406 ft lbs @ 1750 rpm of torque.

Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid Sport Turismo (2018 – 2020)

This is one practical family car with very green credentials and incredible performance. The Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid was the first all-wheel-drive Panamera hybrid and in Sport Turismo body style it is more practical and dare we say it looks better too. Just like the coupé-style Porsche Panamera sports saloon, the Sport Turismo is characterized by its very dynamic proportions, which also allow it to feature three full rear seats.

Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid (2017 – 2020)

The fourth model of the Panamera was introduced at the 2016 Paris Motor Show. It was the enhanced plug-in hybrid version, named 4 E-Hybrid. It was the first all-wheel-drive Panamera hybrid. It was fitted with a more powerful electric motor and a twin-turbo 2.9-liter V6 gasoline engine. The powerplant was fitted to an 8-speed automatic gearbox. Its predecessors were fitted with rear-wheel-drive only. The Panamera 4 E-hybrid always started in electric mode and turned on its gasoline unit later.

Porsche Panamera 4 Sport Turismo (2018 – 2020)

Porsche expanded the Panamera family with the addition of a new body version: The Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo. The Panamera 4 got the Sport Turismo treatment. The Panamera 4 Sport Turismos gets the same all-wheel drive system and underlying mechanicals. That means, it gets the base Panamera's 330-hp turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6. Porsche doesn't call the Sport Turismo a station wagon, but that's kinda sorta what it is.

Porsche Panamera 4 (2017 – 2020)

The Panamera finally looked great, with a wider, lower, sleeker design that fixed all the hunchback look of the old design. Porsche launched the second generation Panamera for the 2017 model year. Complementing the fresh threads is a completely reimagined interior, replete with touch-capacitive surfaces and massive display screens. The Panamera 4 got a 3.0-liter, turbocharged V-6 with 325 bhp @ 5400 rpm and 332 ft lbs @ 1800 rpm. Performance was impressive, taking only 5.6 seconds to hit 60 mph and a respectable 163 mph top speed.
