The flagship Panamera Sport Turismo model is a sports car, luxurious estate and high-tech hybrid all rolled into one.
AT last count, the second-generation Porsche Panamera is available in no fewer than 15 variants, which are spread across the regular Panamera (fastback), Panamera Executive (longwheelbase) and Panamera Sport Turismo (estate) models. Buyers are seriously spoilt for choice.
At the top of the Panamera Sport Turismo range is the Turbo S E-Hybrid variant. Although it is a station wagon, Porsche would rather that you don’t refer to it as such, or even call it an estate or shooting brake, as these terms are used by other German carmakers for their wagons.
Inspired by the 918 Spyder hypercar, the Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo has a twinturbocharged 4-litre V8 with 550hp that’s paired to a 136hp electric motor. Together, they have an output of 680hp.
