The performance-focused Porsche Panamera GTS and Turbo S E-Hybrid have been confirmed for an SA market introduction. Here’s how much they cost.
The third-generation Panamera range was revealed towards the end of 2023 and initially, it was just the hybrid models that were shown. Now the sportier Porsche Panamera GTS and Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid have been showcased, along with South African pricing.
The Porsche Panamera GTS ups the ante with more power and sportier looks, while the flagship Turbo S E-Hybrid announces itself as the fastest hybrid luxury sedan on the Nurburgring with a time of 7:24.172 minutes, an improvement of over 3 seconds.
