2014 Porsche Panamera Turbo S launched

Porsche has recently completed the 2014 Panamera facelift lineup with the introduction of the Turbo S model.

Joining the standard Panamera and the Turbo and E-Hybrid derivatives, the Turbo S is mildly more powerful than its predecessor with 20 HP (15 kW) increase with the total output now being 570 HP (419 kW) generated by the V8 4.8-liter twin-turbo engine. The additional power is possible thanks to new turbochargers with a larger compressor improving air flow and combustion. The range-topping Panamera can accelerate to 60 mph (96 kmph) in 3.6 seconds and can hit a top speed of 192 mph (309 kmph).

The styling updates include a revised front bumper with bigger air intakes and reworked LED headlights. The rear of the car shows a larger window stretching within the tailgate, as well as a body-colored four-way spoiler and an updated bumper. The Turbo S facelift also now comes with an Executive version which extends the wheelbase by 5.9 inches (150mm) so there is more room inside the cabin.

The 2014 Porsche Panamera Turbo S and Turbo S Executive are scheduled to make their public debut next month at the Tokyo Motor Show in Japan.
