Porsche Panamera (G2 II) Sport Turismo 4 2.9 V6 (330 Hp) PDK

The Porsche Panamera (G2 II) Sport Turismo 4 2.9 V6, produced from 2020 to 2023, represents Porsche’s foray into the luxury performance wagon segment. As a derivative of the second-generation Panamera (G2), the Sport Turismo distinguishes itself with a practical, estate-style body, offering increased cargo capacity without sacrificing the dynamic driving experience synonymous with the Porsche brand.
