PORSCHE PANAMERA TURBO S 2011 GRANTURISMO Car India Launch

Porsche has decided to add the S moniker to the 2011 Panamera Turbo GranTurismo car and hence we have some more power and torque to make the already blindingly quick four seater grand tourer sportscar faster. Talking about all the increased shove and twist, the 2011 Panamera Turbo S’s 4.8 Liter Engine gets a new twin turbo with titanium-aluminum turbines.

The lighter turbines make the turbos more responsive while a remap makes the engine now produce 550 Bhp of power and 750 nm of torque. To put those figures into perspective, the Panamera Turbo is non-S guise produces 500 Bhp and 695 Nm. So, the power and torque bump in the 2011 Panamera Turbo S are very significant bumps indeed.

Porsche claims a nought to hundred sprint of 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 294 kph for the 2011 Panamera Turbo. Add to this a mileage of almost 10 kmpl on the highway and 7 kmpl in the city, Porsche seems to have done a terrific job both in the performance as well as fuel efficiency stakes. And wait for this, the optional Sport Chrono packages deliver temporary torque boosts of up to 800 Nm.

The 2011 Porsche Panamera Turbo S will be showcased at the 2011 New York Auto Show on the 20th of April, 2011 after which it will go on sale later this year for a starting price of $ 173,200. And yes, this car might make it to India early next year as Porsche already sells the Panamera in India through it’s Indian importer, Precision Motors.
