Following a sneak preview of the Panamera Turbo in late 2016, Porsche officially introduced the second generation Panamera, Panamera 4S and Panamera Turbo at the Symphony of Courage event today. All three models are immediately available at the Porsche Centre Singapore showroom.
Held at Marina Bay Sands, the Symphony of Courage event showcased the courageous and innovative journey behind the creation of the Panamera, a car engineered to be the perfect blend of luxury and performance. Around 1,000 Porsche owners, enthusiasts, and members of the media were treated to an exhilarating unveiling of the new Panamera.
To set the stage for the grand reveal, all attendees entered via The Walk of Courage, a passageway corridor of light and sound. The Walk of Courage was designed to be enigmatic in its representations of acceleration, intensity, and ambiguity, and to invoke feelings of mysterious excitement, that tested their courage.
Guests also enjoyed the Porsche Driver's Selection and Porsche Design merchandise booths, took pictures at movie poster photo booths, and indulged in a fusion of European and Asian cuisine that further accentuated the theme of elegance that permeated that evening. When the time came, a spectacular show jointly conjured by renowned acrobatic artists and violinists brought to life the story of the Panamera through abstract imagery, music, vision and performance.
"We had another very exciting event with an impressive vehicle unveiling that in this form probably has never been performed before. The launch reflected the highest luxury standard, elegance as well as the innovation of the new Panamera. I am very confident that the highly positive response to the event and the car will translate into good sales results," said Dr. Henrik Dreier, General Manager - Singapore, Porsche Asia Pacific.
Systematically improved down to the very last detail, this new model is set to become a performance icon in the luxury saloon class. Its engines and transmissions have been developed from the ground up, its chassis perfected, and its interior redesigned for the future.
Visually, the design of the all new Panamera is a reflection of the unique 911. The exterior silhouette is more expressive than ever with long, dynamic proportions, pronounced shoulder lines, and athletic flanks, as well as a roofline that is lowered by 20mm at the rear, which is stylistically reminiscent of the 911, the design icon of Porsche.
Although not typical of sports cars, an abundance of luxurious space and comfort has become a staple in the Panamera model range.
The interior of the all new Panamera has been completely restyled while still retaining the Porsche DNA - with an ascending centre console, and a flat and conspicuously wide dashboard. A future-oriented touchscreen display and new control concept called the Porsche Advanced Cockpit brings direct access to the most important functions.
A highly-innovative family of new V6 and V8 bi-turbo engines has been created for the all new Panamera for a unique blend of efficiency and extraordinary performance.
All engines in the range feature more power, but not at the expense of economy and emissions, which have been lowered. Together with an all new eight-speed dual-clutch PDK II transmission, the engines are up to 16 percent more efficient. Power delivery is increased for a more rapid response, and driving performance and pleasure are intensified.
