2018 PORSCHE Panamera GTS (971) 4.0L V8 8AT AWD (460 HP)

Vehicle Overview

Porsche dreamed about a 4-door saloon hard and long until it got real. The original prototype was in the late ’80s and it was named 989. But it wasn’t really until the first Panamera appeared, a car that made the same numbers of friends and enemies.

The second generation of the Panamera showed up in 2016 and its design fixed all the problems of the first generation. The nice look of a four-door coupe, combined with the exterior details of the vehicle, made it up for those who waited and trusted the Porsche brand. It looked like a stretched 911 model, but with the engine in the front. The 4-LED headlights fitted as standard were one of the key design elements that made the car attractive. The Panamera GTS featured a Sport Design package with a new black front end, black trim at the bottom of the rear, and a variety of darker elements highlights the more athletic appearance. The GTS model was equipped with 20-inch Panamera Design wheels as standard.

The infotainment system can be paired with either a Bose or a Burmeister premium sound system for a better audio quality offered as an option. The system can be paired with a smartphone via a Porsche dedicated app. The Android Auto was not available.

For the engines, the Panamera GTS featured a 460 hp V8 engine mated to an 8-speed PDK (dual-clutch) gearbox. It was fitted with the PTM (Porsche Traction Management) all-wheel-drive system.
