Porsche will introduce the world’s first plug-in hybrid to the luxury class with the reveal of the second generation Panamera Gran Turismo.
Along with the Panamera S E-Hybrid with 416 hp of combined power, two luxurious Executive versions with an extended wheelbase are also making their debut and an entirely new three-litre V6 engine with bi-turbo charging for the Panamera S and Panamera 4S.
The Panamera range now extends to 10 models offering an even further broader range between sportiness and comfort.
New and further developed technologies have enabled fuel savings of up to 56 per cent, while further enhancing operating and driving comfort. The new Panamera underscores its exceptional positioning with an even more expressive design in the style of the new sports car generations that are marked by tighter lines, more pronounced contours and newly shaped body elements.
The new generation Gran Turismo celebrated its world premiere at Auto China in Shanghai, which opened on April 21, 2013.
Deliveries of the new Panamera into New Zealand will commence late in July with pricing to be confirmed nearer to launch. The extended wheelbase Executive versions, however will not be offered in New Zealand as they are left hand drive only.
