Equipped with an Electric Rear Spoiler


The Panamera Sport Turismo is based on theNew Panamerasecond-generation Panamera model that debuted last year. The roofline has been extended from the B-pillar back, and the rear enlarged to secure luggage space. Body dimensions are nearly identical to the new Panamera: 5,049mm long, 1,937mm wide, and 1,428mm high, with a wheelbase of 2,950mm. It accommodates wheels up to 21 inches.


The distinctive rear spoiler at the trailing edge of the roof adjusts its angle automatically in three stages depending on speed and driving mode, providing up to 50kg of downforce to the rear axle.


Leveraging the increased space, the seating capacity is configured as 4+1, with a minimal seat in the center of the rear, compared to the Panamera's four seats. This can also be configured for four occupants, like the Panamera.


The rear opening allows for items up to 628mm high to be loaded and unloaded. The cargo volume is 520 liters, 20 liters more than the Panamera. With the 40:20:40 split-folding rear seats, all of which can be operated electrically from the cargo area, the space expands to a maximum of 1,390 liters.
