Porsche Panamera Essential History
In typical Porsche fashion, the first Panamera variants made available for the 2010 model-year launch included the Panamera S, 4S, and Turbo models, each with either a 4.8-liter V-8 (395 horsepower, 369 lb-ft of torque) or a twin-turbo tune of the same 4.8-liter in the Turbo good for 493 hp and 516 lb-ft. Porsche soon added the base-level Panamera and Panamera 4, powered by a 3.6-liter V-6 with 296 hp and 295 lb-ft. In 2011, the Panamera S Hybrid, GTS, Turbo S, and diesel models expanded the lineup. The Turbo S took its rightful place at the top of the pyramid, bumping output from the regular Turbo to 542 hp and 553 lb-ft, offering a tremendous 0-60-mph run in 3.5 seconds, and a top speed of 188 mph.
