When the lineup was first announced, I noticed a few models were missing. Well, no more, the big dog is here, along with a couple of smaller dogs.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
So, let’s break down the models for those who are confused:
Panamera/Panamera 4: The only rear drive Panny you can get. low-boost variant of the 2.9TT making 330bhp.
Panamera 4 E- Hybrid: Same engine tune as above, with the added hybrid system. Makes 455bhp. Or something. I don’t care too much.
Panamera 4S: The 2.9TT running more booooost. 449bhp.
Panamera GTS: If “value for money” could be a thing in this category, this would be my pick...the cheapest V8 you can get, making 473bhp.
Panamera 4S E-Hybrid: This replaced the Turbo in the lineup. 4S engine + Hybrid drivetrain = 552bhp.
Panamera Turbo S: Reworded 4.0T making 630bhp. No hybrid system. Porsche said this will be Panny for your hot laps (if you want to do that for some reason)
Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid: A 563bhp edition of the previous Turbo’s V8 + Hybridy stuff = 689 Horsepowers. I don’t know why they couldn’t just make it 700 something. Maybe they’re holding that card for when Mercedes announces the AMG GT73 or some such.

It’s crazy to see one chassis available with the top variant having more than 2x the horsepower of the base variant:
Camaro: 375 hp delta from 2.0T to 6.2 Supercharged
Panamera: 359 horsepower delta from base 2.9TT to Turbo S E-Hybrid
There are probably plenty of other examples out there. Cars are weird sometimes.

Mercedes was good at that, like that CLK230 vs the CLK Black Series.

You didn’t ask but oh boy would a GTS, wagon in purple be my ideal way to cross the country.

A GTS long roof is a bucket list car for me. But I’m loving the Python Green.

The differences in Europe are even more important as base models are sensibly less powerful.
For example a Mégane is 115-300hp and a Golf 110-300hp, A4/RS4 135-450hp.

So is Turbo S the “Lion” or was that held back/prototype/GT5 RS?

I think Porsche is waiting to unveil the Lion until Mercedes announces the GT73.

I didn’t look at the sticker this time but in March when I looked it was $102k. While looking it up for you I learned it’s now been reduced to $82 K. Do you think they’d take $74k in December? :-)x

HOLY COW that’s a nice build. GTS with Aero Kit, LWB’s, body painted Carrera S ports, PASM sports chassis. OMG.
I wish I was ready to buy another 997.

Blank canvas for liveries too.
