- The GTS occupies a sweet spot in the new Panamera lineup with sportier enhancements.
- It is powered by a non-electrified twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 producing 493 hp.
- Additional features include a lowered chassis, retuned air suspension, and a sport exhaust.
Together with the Turbo S E-Hybrid flagship, Porsche introduced the new 2025 Panamera GTS, which it says is focused on “driver engagement and agility”. The GTS is powered by a V8 engine, albeit without any form of electrified assistance. More importantly it features a version-specific chassis setup and sporty touches inside-out.
The twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 is slightly detuned compared to the hybrid models, producing 493 hp (368 kW / 500 PS). Nonetheless, this marks a 20 hp (15 kW / 20 PS) improvement over the previous GTS.

According to Porsche, the new Panamera GTS accelerates from 0-60 mph (0-100 km/h) in 3.6 seconds (-0.1 seconds quicker than before), and has a top speed of 188 mph (303 km/h). Furthermore, the sound experience is enhanced by the standard sport exhaust system.
The highlight of the GTS is the chassis upgrades, aimed at sharpening its road prowess and enhancing driving enjoyment without compromising ride comfort. These include a sportier calibration for the standard air suspension, lowered by 10 mm (0.4 inches) compared to the standard Panamera, along with reinforced anti-roll bars and a lower basic spring rate. The model is also equipped with the electronically-controlled PTV Plus limited-slip differential.

The exterior features black GTS emblems that complement the Satin-Matt Black accents of the standard Sport Package and the darker lighting units. Borrowed from the Turbo S E-Hybrid, the 21-inch center-lock wheels in Anthracite Grey contrast with the red brake calipers. Completing the look, the quad tailpipes of the standard-fit sport exhaust are finished in Dark Bronze.
Moving inside, Porsche added a generous amount of Race-Tex, as a reference to its motorsport heritage. The company provides two GTS-specific interior packages featuring Carmine Red or Slate Grey Neo highlights, with a Matte Carbon Fiber package available at an extra cost.
The 2025 Porsche Panamera is already available for ordering, ahead of its arrival at US dealers in late Q1 2025. Pricing starts from $154,200, excluding tax, title, registration, dealer charges, and a $1,995 delivery fee. This makes it significantly cheaper than the electrified Turbo e-Hybrid and Turbo S e-Hybrid models.
