This new, spacious Sport Turismo shooting brake was revealed at the 2017 Geneva motor show, with deliveries expected late 2017. The uniquely designed rear end of the Panamera Sport Turismo helps to provide the estate with an excellent interior adaptability and load space.

Everything including the driver's door B-pillar and back is different, and there's an extending roof spoiler with an active wing element which sits above the rear window. It can allow up to 50kg of downforce, but most of the time it's folded away to reduce drag and save fuel.

Among the significant changes offered by the Panamera Sport Turismo is room for an extra passenger - the rear seat is now available with three seats, using a middle third seat forming a 2+1 rear bench.
