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.

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.
