2021 Porsche Panamera: Renewed From Top to Bottom - Despite Appearances

Porsche unveils its revised 2021 Panamera in a virtual presentation.

We’ve caught sight of the new 2021 Porsche Panamera in fits and starts over the last few months, as the manufacturer has been preparing the second generation of the sedan first introduced in 2017. Camouflaged prototypes have been ubiquitous or almost on roads around the world and even at the Nürburgring, where the most powerful trim in the lineup - now called the Turbo S - even managed to set a record lap time for the executive sedan segment. Cmpleting the 20-odd km of the famous circuit in 7 min 29.81 sec in a car of the calibre of the Panamera is quite a feat.

Now, thanks to a virtual presentation, we know all the essential details surrounding the revised new 2021 edition, which can already be ordered by eager buyers. The first deliveries are scheduled for the first quarter of next year.

Pricing
Canadian consumers interested in this flagship sedan from the German automaker will have to pay a minimum of $99,300 for the basic Panamera with rear-wheel drive, the only one in the lineup that does not benefit from the in-house all-wheel-drive system. One notch higher, the Panamera 4 is priced at $104,600, while the Panamera 4S E-Hybrid will set buyers back $128,500.

Driving enthusiasts will be happy to learn that the GTS version is back at a starting price of $147,400. Finally, at the top of the price range is the Turbo S, which replaces the previous Panamera Turbo and is priced at $202,400.
