| One legendary spirit, embodied two new ways: the new Panamera models. |
|
|
It’s not easy to imbue each Porsche with the spirit of the foundational 356. But every Porsche since has possessed it. Now, there are two more: the Panamera GTS and Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid, the latest to join the third generation of this illustrious model line.
They share more than the Panamera name, though. They share a heart: a twin-turbo V8. The 493-hp Panamera GTS—like every Porsche given that three-letter-moniker—embraces theater. Its exclusive SportDesign exterior and aggressive stance command your attention. Its driver-focused cockpit draws you in with intimations of excitement to come. And its eight-cylinder bellow is music to your ears and thunder on the road.

Then there’s the 771-hp Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid, the fastest luxury vehicle to ever lap the notoriously demanding Nürburgring. That’s a title earned as much by the power of the Turbo S E-Hybrid as it is the poise of its Porsche Active Ride suspension. The world’s most powerful active suspension, Porsche Active Ride keeps this Panamera remarkably composed through twists and turns and stops and goes. All while keeping everyone inside remarkably comfortable.
Shared spirits. Shared hearts. And yet articulated by the Panamera GTS and Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid in two very different ways. Which begs the question: is what makes a Porsche a matter of embodying a legendary spirit, or of letting it find new expression? The answer awaits at your Porsche Center.

| Standing on top of the world: Porsche summits the world’s tallest volcano. |
|
|
It’s a 4.2-mile drive unlike any other—because it goes straight up the world’s tallest volcano. Join a select team of Porsche experts and mountaineers as they attempt to summit Ojos del Salado behind the wheel of Edith, a specially modified 911 Carrera 4S. Straddling the border between Chile and Argentina, this Andean peak is 22,615 unpredictable feet of loose gravel, slick ice, and thin oxygen. The one sure thing about it: getting to the top can mean starting from the bottom over and over again. But that’s the kind of commitment that built the Porsche legend.
