If you’re wondering, there’s a Porsche Panamera Turbo hiding somewhere under there….

The model line-up at launch consists of four models: The standard Panamera, the Panamera 4S, Panamera 4S diesel and range-topping Panamera Turbo.

Porsche Panamera $360,388 without COE/options 
330bhp, 450Nm, 3.0-litre V6 twin-turbo, top speed 264km/h, 0-100km/h 5.7 seconds, 7.5L/100km, 171g/km CO2

While it looks much like its predecessor, continuing Porsche’s design approach of evolution over revolution, it’s actually a very different beast under the skin. The Panamera debuts the new MSB platform tech, which will also underpin future VW Group luxury offerings, possibly the next Audi A8 and Bentley Continental. The new car’s aluminium skin and high-strength steel construction save 70kg over the outgoing model.

Likewise the suspension systems are almost totally new, with active suspension, active roll bars, air suspension and four-wheel steering offered together for the first time, and all overseen by Porsche’s new ‘4D Chassis Control’ networked dynamics system.

The Panamera Turbo unveiled with a literally huge song and dance.

The new variants, as well as the plug-in hybrid Panamera 4 E-Hybrid, are expected to be launched here this year.
