We heard reports that it was coming and now official confirmation has been given that the latest-generation Porsche Panamera will receive a variant dubbed the Sport Turismo, set to debut at the Paris Motor Show.
This new body style will essentially make the Panamera a Shooting Brake, with the roofline expected to be lengthened and a different rear window implemented. As the name suggests, the model will essentially be a road-going version of the Panamera Sport Turismo Concept introduced back in 2012.
That model featured many similar styling traits as the brand new Panamera, particularly with its sleek horizontal taillights. The shape of it was slightly different however and included a flatter and less curvaceous roof and adopted a stylish spoiler. If Porsche is able to clearly relay the differences between the standard car and the Sport Turismo to customers, there’s no reason any significant changes to the concept will be adopted.
The man who confirmed the news, product line director for the Panamera Dr Gernot Dollner, said that production of the Panamera Sport Turismo will commence as soon as the model celebrates its Paris debut.
