Most of those new Panamera variants have already been detailed on these pages – including the new Panamera S E-Hybrid and Porsche’s decision to ditch most its of its V8s in favor of a turbocharged V6 – but the German automaker released a few new details about the model range on Wednesday.
The high-performance Panamera Turbo returns for 2014, but the sedan’s twin-turbocharged 4.8L V8 has been bumped from 500 horsepower to 520 horsepower. Despite that added kick, the 2014 Panamera Turbo is rated at 24mpg on the highway, representing a 4 percent improvement over the outgoing model.
The 2014 Panamera Turbo can accelerate from 0-60 in 3.7 seconds and hit a top speed of 189mph.
Although the Panamera S and 4S have mad the switch to a boosted V6, the Panamera GTS retains its naturally aspirated V8 for the 2014 model year. Not to be outdone by its lesser siblings, the GTS’ power has increased by 10 ponies to 440 horsepower. As a result, the GTS can hit 60 from a stand still one-tenth of a second quicker than last year’s model (4.2 seconds).
Like the Turbo, the 2014 Panamera GTS is rated at 24mpg on the highway.
The 2014 Porsche Panamera is on sale now with a starting price of $78,100.
