The Porsche Panamera Turbo S has pushed the 4.8-litre V8 up to 550 hp which is another 50 hp more than the turbo version. Even more impressive is the torque: the Panamera Turbo S has a whopping 750 Nm of torque, getting to 800 in overboost function. The extra 50 are activated in “Sport” and “Sport Plus” modes with the Sport Chrono Package.

The Panamera Turbo S now goes very fast, covering 0-100 km/hr in 3.8 seconds and with a top speed of 306 km/hr. According to Porsche fuel consumption is the same as the “standard” turbo model - that is, 11.5 l/100 km (with anti-roll, Michelin tyres on 19-inch wheels).

The Turbo S gets new turbines made of aluminium and titanium, and a new engine mapping system which improves torque response for increased agility. The Panamera Turbo S will be officially revealed at the upcoming 2011 New York Auto Show.
