Where the regular Panamera has a trunk, the Sport Turismo has a long, elegantly shaped rear hatch, capable of swallowing a surprising amount of luggage. Power is distributed by a new 8-speed PDK gearbox which shifts incredibly quickly and is partially responsible for those rapid acceleration times.Ī new development in the Panamera lineup for this generation is the emergence of a wagon model, dubbed the Sport Turismo.

At the very top of the Panamera hierarchy lies the Panamera Tyrbo S E-Hybrid, which combines the 550 horsepower V8 with an electric motor for a staggering 680 horsepower and a 0-60 time of 3.3 seconds.īase Panameras and Panamera S models come standard with rear-wheel drive, while hybrid and Turbo models come standard with all-wheel drive, though all-wheel drive is optional for base and S models. Porsche claims a 0-60 time of 3.6 seconds for the Turbo model.
