Porsche has announced the forthcoming addition of two sporty models to its Panamera range. The new Porsche Panamera GTS and Porsche Panamera GTS Sport Turismo models add new breadth to the lineup for customers seeking a sportier driving experience positioned between the Panamera 4S and Panamera Turbo variants.
The engine, which sends power to all four wheels through an eight-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission via the standard Porsche Traction Management all-wheel drive system, allows both the Porsche Panamera GTS and Porsche Panamera GTS Sport Turismo models to accelerate from 0-100km/h in 3.9 seconds.
As is typical with any Porsche 'GTS' model, the standard equipment list and chassis setup are oriented with enthusiastic driving in mind. The chassis now sits 10mm lower than other Panamera models. The Porsche Adaptive Suspension Management dampers, which are included as part of the standard Air Suspension, are recalibrated for these models. Large brakes (390mm in diameter at the front, 365mm in diameter at the rear) provide exceptional stopping power.
Other standard equipment highlights include the Sport Chrono package, a Sport Exhaust system including tailpipes in black, the Sport Design package with black exterior elements, and black 20-inch Panamera Design wheels. Matching the aggressive exterior aesthetic, black Alcantara and anodised aluminum lends an athletic look to the interior.
A heated multifunction sport steering wheel in Alcantara trim and the Connect Plus module for a wide range of digital services are also standard. With the optional GTS Interior package, drivers can contrast elements of the interior including stitching, GTS logos, and the tachometer in either Carmine Red or Chalk.
