The Porsche Panamera GTS Now Comes in Wagon Form

The new Porsche Panamera GTS and Panamera GTS Sport Turismo have made their official debut.

Just like the outgoing Panamera GTS, the new model is a bit sharper, a bit stiffer and a bit louder than the standard version of Porsche’s family car.

The extra sporty take on the Panamera gets standard three-chamber adaptive air suspension, 10mm lower suspension with Porsche Active Suspension Management, larger brakes (15.3-inches in the front and 14.3-inches in the rear) and a sports exhaust system.

The Panamera GTS is also the most accessible Panamera model to feature Porsche’s twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine. The eight-cylinder makes 460 hp and 457 lb-ft of torque in the application, down 88 hp and 111 lb-ft of torque from the pricier Panamera Turbo.

Cosmetic upgrades come in the way of black 20-inch wheels, a standard Sport Design body kit and GTS badging. The cabin also gets some additional equipment in the way of Alcantara upholstery, aluminum trim and an Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel An optional Interior GTS package is available as well, adding contrasting interior upholstery and trim elements. Porsche is also rather proud of its brand new head-up display, which will appear on the Panamera GTS before trickling to other Panamera trims.

Prices for the Panamera GTS will start at $129,350 including $1,050 in destination, while the Panamera GTS Sport Turismo wagon will be priced from $135,550.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
