Written by Leonte Cristian.

Porsche Panamera Turbo SThe new Porsche Panamera Turbo S comes equipped with a V8 twin-turbocharged 4.8 L engine generating 550 horse power and 750 Nm of torque. The Turbo S can run in "Sport" and "Sport Plus" mode, delivering 800 Nm. With the "Launch Control" function activated, the 100 km/h mark is achieved in 3.8 secs, all the way up to nearly 310 km/h. Porsche assures the customers that the fuel consumption is at a moderate level - 10.5 L combined. Compared to the Porsche Panamera Turbo, the "S" model performances can be attributed to 2 main enhancements : improved turbochargers and modified engine control management.

Porsche Panamera Turbo S also features the PDCC (Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control) and PVT Plus (Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus). The 1st system boosts cornering stability, enhancing the driving dynamics and comfort in equal measure.

The exterior is painted in black/cream and agatey grey/cream, offered exclusively for the new S, available from autumn 2011. Also, 20" alloys were added, new side skirts and 4-way rear spoiler.

June is the month when the new Turbo S will go on sale, with a price tag of 122.623 GBP. Every Turbo S will be equipped with the VTS (Vehicle Tracking System).
