The Sport Turismo is the shooting brake version of the Panamera which features a raked roofline, larger tailgate, additional boot space of 50 litres and low loading sill. The estate will be offered in a 4+1-seater configuration.

Another prominent highlight of the Sport Turismo is the adaptive roof spoiler which is offered as standard. Depending on the vehicle speed and settings, the spoiler will generate an additional 50kg of rear downforce.

The hybrid variant of the Panamera Sport Turismo is equipped with an electric motor producing 136bhp which is coupled to the same 4-litre V8 engine. The combined power output stands at a whopping 677bhp and 850Nm of torque. The vehicle also offers a pure electric range of 49km.

The Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo is the fastest Panamera ST and can sprint from 0-100km/h in 3.4 seconds before topping out at 310km/h. Porsche will offer air-suspension as standard, and the rear-wheel steering will be an optional feature.

DriveSpark Thinks!

Porsche is all set to enter the niche segment of estate cars in the Indian market with the Panamera Turbo Sports Turismo. The German car maker will also launch the third-gen Cayenne in India by June 2018. Porsche is certainly not aiming for big sales number in India as the estate cars are not so popular in the country.
