Porsche has announced a new addition to its four-door Panamera lineup – the Panamera GTS.
Running an upgraded 4.8-litre V8 engine good for 320kW/520Nm, Porsche says the GTS, while, not matching the performance of its turbocharged siblings, is the ‘purest’ member of its GTS family. An intriguing push-button ‘Sound Symposer’ directs intake noise from the engine so driver and passenger can hear the V8 at work.
The Porsche Panamera GTS drives all four wheels via the PDK seven-speed transmission.
Externally, the Panamera GTS Runs the front end of the Panamera Turbo (larger air intakes) with Bi-Xenon headlights and also features high gloss balck trim elements.
Underneath, the sports-tuned air suspension with Porsche Active Suspension Management delivers a ride height 10mm lower than other Panameras, there are 19-inch wheels and larger brakem discs with red calipers straight from the Panamera Turbo. Porsche Dynamic Chassis Ciontrol is on the options list.
Inside is the usual Panamera sporty oppulance trimmed in leather and Alcantera and highlights by stainless steel ‘Panamera GTS’ scuff plates and carpet mats with contrasting stitching.
The Porsche Panamera GTS goes on-sale in Europe early next year.
