The Porsche Panamera GTS Now Comes in Wagon Form

The new Porsche Panamera GTS and Panamera GTS Sport Turismo have made their official debut.

Just like the outgoing Panamera GTS, the new model is a bit sharper, a bit stiffer and a bit louder than the standard version of Porsche’s family car.

The extra sporty take on the Panamera gets standard three-chamber adaptive air suspension, 10mm lower suspension with Porsche Active Suspension Management, larger brakes (15.3-inches in the front and 14.3-inches in the rear) and a sports exhaust system.

The Panamera GTS is also the most accessible Panamera model to feature Porsche’s twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine. The eight-cylinder makes 460 hp and 457 lb-ft of torque in the application, down 88 hp and 111 lb-ft of torque from the pricier Panamera Turbo.

Cosmetic upgrades come in the way of black 20-inch wheels, a standard Sport Design body kit and GTS badging. The cabin also gets some additional equipment in the way of Alcantara upholstery, aluminum trim and an Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel An optional Interior GTS package is available as well, adding contrasting interior upholstery and trim elements. Porsche is also rather proud of its brand new head-up display, which will appear on the Panamera GTS before trickling to other Panamera trims.

Prices for the Panamera GTS will start at $129,350 including $1,050 in destination, while the Panamera GTS Sport Turismo wagon will be priced from $135,550.
