Porsche is expanding the Panamera family with the addition of a new body version: the Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo is celebrating its world premi\u00e8re at the Geneva Motor Show, where five different versions will be on display: Panamera 4, Panamera 4S, Panamera 4S Diesel, Panamera 4 E-Hybrid and Panamera Turbo. Based on the successful sports saloon, the new version once again makes a sign in the luxury segment with its design. \u00abFor Porsche, the Panamera Sport Turismo is a step forwards into a new segment, but retains all of those values and attributes that are characteristic of Porsche\u00bb, says Michael Mauer, Director of Style Porsche.<\/p>\n

Just like the coup\u00e9-style Panamera sports saloon, the Sport Turismo is characterised by its dynamic proportions, a perfect reflection of the Porsche design DNA. The silhouette is further characterised by short body overhangs and large wheels measuring up to 21 inches. Beginning from the B-pillars, that is, from the start of the rear doors, the Sport Turismo features a unique rear design.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Above the pronounced shoulder, an elongated window line and equally long roof contour lend the vehicle its striking appearance. At the rear, the roof drops away much less dramatically than the window line, resulting in a prominent and distinctive D-pillar which transitions into the shoulder section in a coup\u00e9-like fashion. At the top of the vehicle, the roof extends into an adaptive spoiler.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The new Sport Turismo is the first Panamera to feature three rear seats. The two outside seats take the form of individual seats, in keeping with the model line\u2019s claim for sporty performance with maximum passenger comfort, thereby producing a 2+1 configuration at the rear. The raised roof line of the Sport Turismo allows for easier entry and exit at the rear of the vehicle and ensures greater head clearance.<\/p>\n<\/div>
