Porsche Panamera GTS, with 500hp V8 engine, launched at ₹2.34cr
Porsche has unveiled the new Panamera GTS in India, with a starting price of ₹2.34 crore. This model is an upgrade to the standard Panamera, which was introduced to the Indian market last November at ₹1.7 crore. The enhanced Panamera GTS boasts a 4.0-liter, twin-turbo V8 engine that delivers 500hp, marking a 20hp increase from its predecessor.
Performance and design upgrades
The Panamera GTS can accelerate from 0-100km/h in just 3.8 seconds and reach a top speed of 302km/h. The Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) system has been specifically tuned for the GTS model to enhance its sporty performance. The car sits 10mm lower than the standard Panamera and features reinforced anti-roll bars for improved body stability. Exterior design changes include black GTS logos, a unique front section, dark-tinted HD matrix LED headlamps, tail lamps, and red brake callipers.
Interior and exterior customization options
The standard Sport package adds satin matte-black body trim elements on the side skirts, front insets, side window trim, and the rear bumper. The tailpipes are finished in a contrasting Dark Bronze shade and the car is fitted with 21-inch Turbo S center-lock wheels in Anthracite Grey. Inside, Porsche's Race-Tex suede-like material adorns the roof lining, armrests, door panels, and center panels. Porsche also offers two GTS-exclusive interior packages: Carmine Red and Slate Grey Neo, along with Carbon matte package.
Delivery timeline and market position
Porsche has announced that deliveries for the Panamera GTS will begin in Germany within a few months. Deliveries in India are expected to commence by the end of this year or possibly in 2025. The GTS will be the most powerful Panamera model available in India, as the Turbo models, which are all hybrids, will not be introduced in the country.
