The Porsche Panamera (G2 II) Sport Turismo Turbo S represents the pinnacle of performance and practicality within the second generation of the Panamera line. Introduced in 2020 and continuing through 2023, this variant combines the luxury and driving dynamics expected of Porsche with the versatility of a station wagon (estate) body style. While the Panamera itself was Porsche’s first foray into the luxury sedan market, the Sport Turismo variant, specifically, aimed to broaden the appeal by offering increased cargo capacity and a more family-friendly profile. This model is primarily aimed at the North American and European markets, where the demand for high-performance wagons remains strong.
Porsche Panamera (G2 II) Sport Turismo Turbo S: An Overview
The G2 II generation Panamera, launched in 2017, brought significant updates to the original model, including revised styling, enhanced technology, and more powerful engine options. The Sport Turismo, introduced as part of this generation, distinguishes itself with a sloping roofline that extends to a rear tailgate, creating a larger and more accessible cargo area compared to the standard Panamera sedan. The Turbo S trim level represents the highest performance tier, boasting a potent twin-turbocharged V8 engine and a host of performance-enhancing features.
Engine & Performance
At the heart of the Panamera Turbo S Sport Turismo lies a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, designated the EA825 / DTCA. This powerplant delivers a formidable 630 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 820 Nm (604.8 lb.-ft.) of torque between 2300 and 4500 rpm. This immense power is channeled to all four wheels via Porsche’s eight-speed PDK (Porsche Doppelkupplung) dual-clutch automatic transmission and an advanced all-wheel-drive system. The result is breathtaking acceleration: 0 to 60 mph in just 2.9 seconds, 0 to 100 km/h in 3.1 seconds, and 0 to 200 km/h in 11.5 seconds. The vehicle achieves a maximum speed of 315 km/h (195.73 mph). The engine’s specific output is impressive, producing 157.7 horsepower per liter of displacement. Features like the Start & Stop system and a particulate filter contribute to improved efficiency and reduced emissions, meeting Euro 6d-ISC-FCM standards.
Design & Features
The Panamera Sport Turismo Turbo S is characterized by its elegant and sporty design. The station wagon body style offers a more practical alternative to the sedan, providing 487 liters (17.2 cu. ft.) of cargo space with the rear seats up, expanding to a substantial 1356 liters (47.89 cu. ft.) when folded down. The interior is meticulously crafted with high-quality materials and features a driver-focused cockpit. Standard equipment includes advanced infotainment systems, premium sound systems, and a comprehensive suite of driver-assistance technologies. Safety features are paramount, including Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) options, and a range of airbags and stability control systems. The vehicle’s aerodynamic profile, evidenced by its drag coefficient of 0.32, contributes to both performance and efficiency. The Sport Turismo also features a unique rear spoiler and roofline designed to optimize airflow.
