Porsche has recently unveiled two new additions to its Panamera collection: the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid and the Panamera GTS. These latest models stay true to Porsche’s tradition of blending luxury and high performance, each offering distinct characteristics.
The Panamera GTS is characterized by its pure and agile engineering, making it an ideal choice for drivers who prioritize a dynamic and emotional driving experience. Equipped with a 4.0-liter biturbo V8 engine, the GTS delivers 493 horsepower, going from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 3.8 seconds and achieving a top speed of 187 mph. Its enhanced sports exhaust system contributes to a powerful and emotive driving soundtrack, enhancing the overall driving experience.
Porsche has meticulously tuned the GTS’s chassis to optimize performance. The dual-chamber air suspension, lowered body, and reinforced anti-roll bars ensure a more direct and responsive driving experience. The electronically controlled PTV Plus differential lock enhances stability and reduces body roll across various speeds by optimizing torque distribution. Despite these dynamic improvements, the GTS maintains comfort, making it suitable for everyday use.
Visually, the GTS boasts distinctive sporty design elements, including black logos, dark-tinted HD matrix LED headlights, and red brake calipers. The interior is equally luxurious, featuring extensive use of Race-Tex material and 18-way adjustable sports seats. The GTS-specific interior packages in Carmine Red or Slate Grey Neo add a unique touch, while standard features include a Bose sound system and the Sport Chrono package.
Conversely, the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid represents the pinnacle of the Panamera series. With a combined output of 771 horsepower from its V8 biturbo engine and electric motor, it stands as the most powerful Panamera yet. It can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.9 seconds and achieves a top speed of 200 mph. The hybrid system provides a strong electric range and efficient performance.
Both models benefit from the third generation of Panamera features, which include the Porsche Driver Experience control concept, advanced HD matrix LED lights, enhanced connectivity options, and the ability to park using a smartphone app. The Turbo S E-Hybrid also offers an Executive variant with additional luxury features.
These new models are now available for order, with the GTS exclusively offered as a sports saloon and the Turbo S E-Hybrid available in various configurations. The initial wave of vehicles is set to be delivered in Germany in the fall of 2024.
