Porsche Panamera GTS
May be you’re the type of person that needs a caar with four doors, a car with real room for four people to come along for a ride but you also need a car that you can drive properly when you’re alone. Perhaps you have tried the Porsche Panamera, but it wasn’t quite man enough for you. Well, take another look, because Porsche have just released a version of the Panamera which they are calling the GTS
|
| |
| The Porsche Panamera GTS is based on the 4S model and has had a few extra little tweaks thrown into the mix aimed at giving the family man who needs a little zip from his school run car just what he is looking for. |
| |
| The first tweak is under the bonnet. It might sound like you are getting the standard 4.8 litre V8, but this one has been interfered with a little so that it now produces 424 bhp, which is up 30 bhp from the Panamera 4S. Torque is up too from 500Nm to 520Nm. You also get firmer dampers and a 10mm lower ride height. If you really want to go around corners fast, then press the sport button and the air springs will drop you another 15mm. Finally, mechanically at least, the rear track is slightly wider for enhanced stability and the huge vented disc breaks from the Turbo have been borrowed too. |
| |
| The mechanicals are not the only changes though, as you will feel a little exclusivity coming your way if you opt for the GTS in the shape of black surrounds for the headlamps as well as distinctive LED lights. There are also 19" alloys to play with and quad exhaust exit pipes. There is also exlusive Carmine Red paintwork available as an option. |

So, if you’re looking for a 4 door GT car within which you can seat 4 adults comfortably at a considerable pace and considering that the price hike is only £6280 over the 4S, the Panamera GTS makes lots of sense and is a lot friendlier than the Turbo.
