Dubbed as the expression of sports sedan at best, the latest Panamera variant, the GTS has reached local shores. Despite the highly controversial rear end, the Panamera has proved to be one of the best hit by the German sportscar manufacturer.

The GTS - acronym for Grand Turismo Sport, inherits the moniker from one of the greatest offerings from the Stuttgart marque - the 904 GTS. The Panamera GTS packs an up-tuned normally-aspirated V8 which delivers 430hp and 520 Nm, 30 more hp and 20 more Nm of torque than that found in the Panamera 4S. With the power sent to all four wheels, drivers can be assured of the top-notch performance without compromising on everyday usability.

Sharing his enthusiasm is Mr. Karsono Kwee, Executive Chairman of Eurokars Group of Companies, at the GTS launch, "The Panamera GTS is delighting car fans worldwide and we are excited that Singapore car enthusiasts will finally have the chance to come up close with the sportiest Panamera produced thus far."

An exclusive trim package is available for the GTS variant, amidst an array of go-fast bits, such as the darkened headlamp-surrounds, sports exhaust etc. On the inside, the GTS comes with adaptive sports seats, with uncompromised luxury and comfort with the arrays of niceties.

Retail price of the Panamera GTS starts from S$473,888 (US$ 379,600) (prices include a 5-year free maintenance and warranty program, G.S.T, but exclude COE).
