2017 Porsche Panamera Turbo Launch Date Revealed

The Porsche Panamera has been around in India for quite a few years now. The first ever 4-door model from Porsche was many things but not exactly good-looking, especially the rear. But with the 2017 Porsche Panamera Turbo, things are looking good again. The iconic German manufacturer is all set to launch the 2017 Panamera Turbo in India on 22nd March, 2017.

Porsche will launch the Panamera Turbo with a 4.0 Litre V8 petrol engine which will belt out 542.5 bhp and 770 Nm. The company claims that the Panamera Turbo will do the 0-100 kmph run in 4.2 seconds. Sometime later in the year, the company will also launch the Panamera Executive Turbo, which will have a longer wheelbase than the regular Turbo, 150mm to be precise. The benefit will be increased space for passengers at the rear.

Also, the styling has been revised to make the Panamera Turbo look sharper with the addition of LED headlamps and new design at the rear. The interior too has undergone work to reduce the clutter from lots of buttons to a smart-looking touchscreen system and centre-console.

From what we hear, Porsche will also launch a hybrid variant along with more engine options for the Panamera Turbo in 2017. The diesel engine options might include a 3.0 Litre V6 and an even bigger 4.0 Litre V8 units.
