Porsche will release its new 2018 Panamera Sport Turismo with rear seating for 3 passengers at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show, so this will be the first 4+1 Panamera.  It'll also still be available, as an option, in the usual 4-seater configuration as well.

At initial launch, the Panamera Sport Turismo will be available in 4 models:

a) Panamera 4 Sport Turismo (3.0L turbo-charged V6 330hp with 0-60 in 5.0 secs) - starting retail of $96,200

b) Panamera 4S Sport Turismo (2.9L twin-turbo V6 with 0-60 in 4.0 secs) - starting retail of $104,000

c) Panamera 4 E-Hybrid Sport Turismo (same engine in 4S but with additional 136hp electric motor.  0-60 in 4.4 secs) - starting retail of $109,200

d) Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo (4.0L twin-turbo V8 550hp with 0-60 in 3.4 secs) - starting retail of $154,000

This makes the Panamera slightly more tempting for me because it does have 3 seats in the back, but the middle +1 seat is very small with hardly any leg room. 

The rear seats can also be folded down for extra luggage storage too.  And what's nice is when the rear seats are folded down, the loading floor is practically flat.

Was not a fan of the first generation Panamera but the new one looks much more cohesive to my eyes and the shooting brake is even nicer. Looking forward to seeing it live at some point

The perfect car, for me. The Turbo, of course.

at how ugly I find this car. is it just me?  But it will be a smash hit. For utilitarian reasons. Plus it will almost definitely be offered w stick. That alone would make it a rare 'dad' dream.

But will NEVER be a Panamera fan. My wife wanted one for a few years ago and I was really mean and made her get a Targa.

it sure looks a lot better than the first generation car however I will have to reserve further judgement until I see it in the flesh . Thanks for the photos! Cheers, Filip
