Porsche offers its Panamera in a GTS version

In the range Panamera and Panamera Sport Turismo – sort of 4-door shooting station wagon – it is certainly more powerful and efficient than this new version GTS, but real fans of dynamic quality don't care, because the sportiest in the end is indeed this variation. Via a sharpened chassis with a suspension lowered by 10 mm and stiffer pneumatic laws controlling body movements more, the GTS manages to provide unprecedented agility for a sedan weighing almost two tonnes.

 

Aesthetically, the GTS can be recognized by its bodywork enhanced with glossy black elements and its quadruple sports exhaust outlet which gives a throaty and cavernous sound. Sitting on 20-inch diameter black wheels, the Panamera and Panamera Sport Turismo GTS are then equipped with a 8 liter twin-turbo V4.0 with 460 hp (+20 hp compared to the old model) and 620 Nm of torque. Enough to ship them to 100 km/h in 4”1 and at 292 km/h cutting edge. Let us note in passing that the GTS are exclusively available with the 8-speed dual-clutch PDK all-wheel drive.

On board, we find the usual atmosphere of the GTS models, namely full upholstery (seats, steering wheel, gear lever, etc.) in Alcantara. Already available to order, the Panamera GTS and Panamera Sport Turismo GTS are displayed at respectively 141 euros and 197 euros in France.
