Porsche Panamera (972)
2024– · Porsche Panamera (972) — Luxury Saloon, V6 Twin-Turbo, designed by Michael Mauer.
The Story
The Panamera 972 is the four-door GT at its absolute peak — ‘both more dynamic and more comfortable than ever,’ and, by many measures, Porsche’s best all-round car. Launched in 2024, the third-generation Panamera’s headline act is a remarkable new ‘Porsche Active Ride’ suspension — a genuinely active (not merely adaptive) system that delivers limousine smoothness one moment and hunkered-down sports-car body control the next, at the flick of a switch. The range tops out with the Turbo S E-Hybrid, a ~782-PS plug-in monster that hits 0-62 mph in 2.9 seconds. Faster, more refined, more technologically advanced and more capable than any Panamera before it, the 972 sits at the very top of the performance-luxury market.
