Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo: First Ultra Super Sexy Live Shots

The Porsche Panamera is a car made of juxtapositions. It can be fantastic to drive, but for many it is also very hard to look at. What if there was one that was great to drive and easy on the eyes?

Welp, problem solved. Here's the Panamera Sport Turismo. Are you drooling yet?

What Porsche has done is combine elements of three cars, the 918 Spyder in the front, the 991 911 in the back, and the Panamera in the middle to create this new concept. It is just stunning. It's low and sleek, and of course, it's a wagon, which any car nut worth a damn would geek out over for hours.

In fact, the body actually reminds me a bit of a 928, which isn't a bad thing at all.

Of course, since it's 2012, this is also a plug-in hybrid, which is what every good concept is these days. It has a total output of 416 horsepower from its supercharged V6 engine and small electric motor.

But who cares about what powers it when it looks this good? It's still a "concept" but that just means we'll only have to wait a little longer to see a production version. Here are some wonderful photos from our friends at Quattroworld.

The Porsche Panamera is considered by many to be the most impressive luxury sedan for sale, but there was always something about it we felt was missing. Sure, it had a hatch, but wouldn't it look better as a wagon? Now we've got the Panamera wagon we've always wanted in the form of the Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo Concept, which just leaked ahead of its Paris Motor Show debut tomorrow. It's also a hybrid, but we won't let that spoil our good time.
The first photos come courtesy of Autoblog.nl, who have gotten it from... who knows where. Porsche doesn't like leaks, and someone just let this splendid wagon out of the bag early.


But who cares? It's glorious. The debates, of course, will rage about whether this is a shooting break or a true wagon. Give that it has four doors and a hatch we'll say wagon and ignore the Mercedes CLS 63 Shooting Brake's naming conventions.
Speaking of that vehicle, what more can we say then it's a great time to be alive? The Audi A7, CLS 63, and CTS-V Wagon are all hatch-y luxury sports goodness of the kind we've been begging for since the Internet was created. And now a wagon Porsche that isn't a crazy one-off concept?


The European car market may be a little worse for wear, but this show looks to be phenomenal.

Re: Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo: Move over CLS Shooting brake!

Why is this FF style? Is this the new style going forward? Hatchback with longer wheelbase... hmm. BMW might come up with a longer 5 series GT?
 
Re: Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo: Move over CLS Shooting brake!

They fixed the ugly backside of current design...great looking car now.

I rather spend 640k on this than on 4 bj.
 
Re: Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo: Move over CLS Shooting brake!

agree, current backside 3/4 viewis slightly pudgy. now the 3/4 n back is more sculpted n chiselled.

now the design matures n become more sporty. front is sharper too. thumbs up for evolution.
