As promised, the Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo has debuted ahead of the upcoming Geneva Motor Show 2017. Sticking true to the 2012 concept, it adds some extra practicality and style to the second-generation Panamera family.

The style differences between the Sport Turismo and regular, run-of-the-mill Panamera models are immediately noticeable. From the B-pillar back, the roofline of the Sport Turismo stretches much further back than in the sedan and at a less acute rake. This allows for increased headroom for rear seat passengers as well as Shooting Brake-style lines that allows for greater luggage space, 520 liters in fact. That figure increases to 1,390 liters with the rear seats folded down.

As with the Panamera five-door, the Sport Turismo still measures 5,049 mm in length and 1,937 mm in width but is 5 mm higher. The new roofline also allows the Sport Turismo to be the first Panamera that can fit three people in the rear, rather than just two.

Another interesting element of the car is its active rear spoiler. It is just as complex as the spoiler of the standard Panamera and operates in three different modes depending on the speed and driving settings. For example, at speeds over 106 mph, it deploys at an angle of 1 degrees and when the panoramic sunroof is open, automatically adjusts to 26 degrees to minimize interior wind noise.

Initially, five different variants of the Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo will be offered. These are the Panamera 4, Panamera 4S, Panamera 4S Diesel, Panamera 4 E-Hybrid and Panamera Turbo. The range-topping Turbo Sport Turismo delivers 542 hp from its twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine while power from the other engines vary between 325 hp and 456 hp.

Porsche says that the entry-level Panamera 4 Sport Turismo will set German customers back at least 97,557 euros ($102,860) with prices rising to 158,604 euros ($167,225) for the Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo.

I think i just came in my pants

[48Laws]

Lol

[Nkc]

Oh lord!!! This is ridiculously sexy.

[madmonkey]

Well colour me impressed. This would be the first Panamera that loops good to me.

[BEM-S4]

Was with dad when I read this. After Macan to Allroad to Dinan Sport Wagon in under a year, I think we have his next car picked out. Damn that's sexy.

[Germanauto]

I'm curious if it'll sell because no wagon ever does well in the states. The Porsche name may be its redeeming factor.

I think it looks less dorky than other wagons but its still a wagon. Not my cup of tea.

[Red Bread]

7,816.3x better than any stupid SUV.

[Mr Carrots]

As with the macan that trunk slant makes it considerably less practical than it would be with a more squared ass.

But people who buy this likely aren't going to fit 2 huge dogs in the trunk so whatever, and if thats what it takes to make wagons viable again in this stupid market then do it

[kamber]

Hell yes!!!

[8k4]

A wagon? Yawn

[MalibuBimmer]

Is this Volkswagen's way to get more money out of the chassis it's built for the new Bentayga?

The VW group has done this multiple of times before unfortunately such as the Audi R8 and Lambo Huracan etc...

[Paul-Bracq-BMW]

It was about time they released this model as the concept car was already done for the previous generation's. In fact I would not have produced the "regular" version of the Panamera at all and just stick with this one...

[RM7]

Nice, beautiful, I'm definitely a fan, but at that price, no way. A reasonably outfitted porsche (not loaded to the brim) is always about 1.5x the base price, meaning this is going to just be obscene compared to an AMG E63 wagon, which doesn't have 80K of options...

[ipilcher]

BMW probably won't be making 3GTs when it's time for me to replace mine in 2024.

Looks like I have some saving to do!

[MightyMouseTech]

Back end of the Porsche FINALLY does not look like a dog taking a crap.

[1MOREMOD]

Did they make the back end even uglier?

There universe made up of those who love wagons and everyone else. I personally love them. For wagon guys it's nice to have some decent options coming to the US.

Granted I would like to see something in between a 328 which really requires Stage 1 at least and something north of $100k like this, the AMG Benz etc. A stage 2 340 would be about half the cost and pretty much ideal in my mind - that said I'm a big believer in the fact that there's a limit to what can be used / what I'd pay for to drive on US roads especially in the Northeast.

[shay2nak]

one of the ugliest cars ever made. wow. congrats, Porsche.

[KingOfJericho]

[danniexi]

that is one beautiful wagon.

watch it flop in the US.
