Released in 2009 for the 2010 model year, Porsche’s new Panamera formed the company’s fourth distinct model line alongside the 911, Boxster/Cayman and Cayenne. A Cayenne-derived, yet lighter and beefier, V-8 engine delivered power, with lower placement in the sleek, four-door Panamera body, which paid clear stylistic homage to the evergreen 911 series. Most notably a four-door-only series, the Panamera is essentially a high-performance Sports/GT car with comfortable accommodations for up to four adults inside a purposeful, yet exceptionally luxurious and comfortable, passenger cabin including a useful rear-seat center console. Offered with just 5,899 miles, this 2018 Porsche Panamera Turbo features excellent livery comprising Volcano Grey Metallic paint, contrasted by a captivating Bordeaux Red and black leather interior. Performance is breathtaking with a 4.0L/550 HP twin-turbocharged V-8 engine delivering 567 lb-ft of torque in concert with an automatic transmission with manual paddle- shift capability. Comprehensive instruments and a tachometer monitor vital functions. The sophisticated interior compartment features ventilated and heated power seats with memory function both front and rear, adorned by Porsche crests on the headrests. The carbon fiber interior package provides additional flair. Other choice interior highlights include the Sport Chrono, lane-change assist, front and rear parking assist with surround view, four-zone climate control, power locks, mirrors and windows, and a Bose AM/FM stereo including SiriusXM satellite radio and Apple CarPlay. Myriad additional features range from ambient lighting, including the interior lighting package for the rear compartment, an ionizer, a power rear sunblind, storage package and voice control, to soft-close doors, “Panamera Turbo” carbon fiber illuminated door-sill guards, window trim in high-gloss black, a power trunk lid, movable rear spoiler and Power Steering Plus. In addition to its distinctive shape, the Panamera Turbo’s sleek exterior is equipped with LED-Matrix Design headlights in black including Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus, tinted LED tail lights, black sport tailpipes, painted model designation and red brake calipers. Michelin Pilot Sport tires surround a set of 21-inch Exclusive Design wheels with colored Porsche center crests for a great finishing touch to this four-seater Porsche that delivers supercar- rivaling performance with immense comfort, luxury and Continental panache.
