Porsche Turismo

The Porsche Panamera has been given so many variations over the past few years, you would think that they would’ve appeased every demographic that they possibly could. Alas, they’ve given us all something to marvel at, and something appealing to a new demographic. The recently revealed Porsche Panamera Turismo is throwing everyone through a loop, Porsche fans and critics alike.

It’s a wagon! The design isn’t too crazy, considering the front of the Turismo is still distinctively Panamera. However, the rear is shaped like a sport wagon, but with a nicely lifted buttocks and a bold rear roof spoiler-the first of its kind on such a car! It’s been trimmed to minimize drag at lower speeds, and what’s more, it automatically rises to minimize lift, and when the panoramic sunroof is open it creates a third angle apt to reduce wind noise/disturbance.

The Turismo isn’t just a pivotal release for Porsche; it’s likely a catalyst within the sport/luxury class itself. It’s quite refreshing to see a car manufacturer take a definitive stride that isn’t foreshadowed by its competitor’s future concepts. The fact that it stemmed from the Porsche Panamera is something of a mystery, but a saluted one nonetheless. The vehicles have yet to be released on the roads, but dealers will be taking orders for deliveries which are expected to start at the end of 2017.
