Porsche had been experimenting with models other than two-door sports cars and roadsters for decades before the large four-door Panamera arrived in 2009.
Initially powered by a twin-turbo V8, over successive generations the car has picked up V6 petrol (turbo and non-turbo), V6 turbo-diesel and ‘E-Hybrid’ power.
The line-up currently starts at $205,300 for the Panamera Platinum Edition and ranges through to $432,200 for the range-topping Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid.
The base Panamera is a RWD and doesn’t have a hybrid powertrain like its siblings and sports the same 2.9L V6 twin-turbo petrol engine of the outgoing model but it’s been retuned and now produces 260kW of power and 500Nm of torque – both figures are up from the previous model.
All other models have an AWD.
The 4 E-Hybrid and 4S E-Hybrid Turbo models have a hybrid powertrain that combines a 2.9L V6 twin-turbo petrol engine with an electric motor. However, outputs differ with the 4 E-Hybrid producing 346kW/650Nm and the 4S E-Hybrid Turbo producing 400kW/750Nm.
The E-Hybrid model has a new hybrid powertrain that combines a 4.0L V8 twin-turbo petrol engine with an electric motor. Together they produce a whopping power output of 500kW and 930Nm of torque.
All models feature an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission.
