What you see in the pictures is the Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo being tested. This model is slated to debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March.
The Panamera Sport Turismo promises owners, with a flair for performance, to travel with the family along with loads of space for luggage. Though designers haven’t changed the fascia, the rear portion highlights the wagon design with a concealed quarter glass, redesigned C-pillar and a prominent roof spoiler.
Powering the Panamera Sport Turismo are the same set of engines that can be seen on the regular Panamera. However, sources claim that a hybrid powertrain may also find its way to the line-up since this prototype had green brake calipers and a fuel filler on the driver’s side; similar to the setup on the current E-Hybrid. This hybrid powertrain comprises of a 2.9-litre V6 biturbo motor that’s mated to an electric motor which makes a total of 462bhp and 700Nm of torque.
Porsche has told reporters that the Panamera Sport Turismo will roll into European showrooms in the last quarter of 2017, and debut in the US market sometime in the first quarter of 2018. Stay tuned to CarWale for more news on Porsche’s upcoming wagon.
