Description
When it comes to performance sedans, there are few options that manage to combine luxury, speed, and style in the way that Porsche has done with the Panamera. The Porsche Panamera was first launched in 2009, marking the company’s entry into the four-door sedan market. Over the years, its offering has been refined extensively, and today, it is widely respected as one of the best options in the sports sedan market. The Panamera seamlessly allows you to transport four people in comfort without sacrificing driving dynamics or performance. Our featured car is a 2020 Porsche Panamera GTS, one of the higher-performance models available in the German marque’s portfolio. It’s powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine and is offered here.
Exterior and Interior
The second-generation Porsche Panamera revealed a sleek and forward-looking progression of the four-door sedan’s design language. It borrows elements from the 911, but retains its own identity. The car offered for sale features a Chalk exterior with 21-inch Sport Design wheels painted in High Gloss Black, with the full-color Porsche crest residing in the center caps. To match the rims, you’ll also find that the exterior mirror caps and door handles have been painted in High Gloss Black. Moving inside the Panamera GTS, you’re greeted with a black interior that features heated and ventilated leather seats. The driver is presented with a heated multifunction sport steering wheel wrapped in leather, while the Premium Package Plus adds many more features, including a Bose surround sound audio system. You’ll also find the Smoking Package optioned, which adds a cigarette lighter and ashtray to the center console. Other visual additions to the cabin include carbon fiber interior trim and carbon fiber door-sill guards, while ParkAssist adds exterior cameras and guidelines to aid in parking and tight maneuvers. Finally, the optioned storage package adds extra elements for convenient and practical stowage of items.
Engine
Under the hood of the 2020 Porsche Panamera GTS, you’ll find a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine that outputs 454 bhp and 457 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels. Power is sent via Porsche’s famed eight-speed Doppelkupplung (dual clutch) transmission. Also optioned is Power Steering Plus, which increases steering assistance when maneuvering at low speeds.
