Maverick Marktpreis: Panamera Turbo / Turbo Sy

It’s a sedan . . . it’s a hatchback . . . it’s a 928-reimagined,
911-esque, grand tourer: Panamera! Following the success of
the company’s first 4-door production vehicle, the Cayenne, in
2009, Porsche was ready to take on the luxury sedan segment
with a GT car of their own. Enter the Panamera.
The Panamera, Type 970, was produced from 2010-2016.
It was a full-sized luxury sedan. Yes, full-sized like a Mercedes
S-Class. Similar to the 928, this luxury sedan had an engine up
front, and it could seat four adults comfortably. The twin-turbo
500 hp V8 engine can launch the Panamera from 0 to 60 mph
in less than four seconds. It was faster than a Cadillac CTS-V,
a Mercedes CLS63 AMG, or a Corvette Grand Sport. In fact,
it was even quicker than most seventh-gen 911s (991)! It’s no
wonder the Excellence magazine picked the Turbo to be the Best
Daily Driver of all Panamera variants.
Inside, the Panamera cabin is luxurious. One reviewer
compared the backseats to first-class pods on airplanes. It has an
awesome sound system and superb supportive seats. The MSRP
for early Turbo models started at $135k. However with options,
it could jump quickly to the $150k-$160k range. Today, you can
find early Turbos for a fraction of the original price. If you are
looking for a spacious, practical, family sedan that can blow the
doors off your snooty neighbors’ sports car, look no further than
a Panamera Turbo. It’s a Porsche through and through.
We will be celebrating the 10-year anniversary of the Panamera at
Mavs & Mochas in Dallas (Highland Park Village) on August 10.
Excellence magazine’s Porsche Buyer’s Guide offered these price
ranges for the Panamera Turbo:
’10-’13 Turbo $45k-$70k
’12-’13 Turbo S $60k-$70k
’14-’16 Turbo $70k-$95k
’14-’16 Turbo S $85k-$110k
This “tri-fold” rear spoiler wing is unique
to Panamera Turbo and GTS models. The
wing deploys automatically at 56 mph.
Fun Fact: “The Panamera's name is derived, like the Porsche Carrera
lineage, from the Carrera Panamericana race. The Panamera is generally
considered to be the long-awaited fruit of Porsche's 989 concept vehicle
from the late 1980s.” - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_Panamera
