While the main focus here might be on the launch of
the Panamera Sport Turismo in Asia, a couple of long wheelbase versions might
just end up stealing the show in Shanghai.
We're talking about the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid,
which is set to arrive in China exclusively as a luxurious Executive variant
with a long wheelbase.
Then you've got the 330 PS Panamera
Executive with rear-wheel drive, which boasts long-wheelbase characteristics as
standard.
In 2016, Porsche delivered no fewer than 65,246
vehicles in China, which again proved to be their largest individual market.
Now, models like the new Panamera Sport Turismo are expected to help the German
automaker grow even more.
Also being shown in Asia are the new 911 GTS models
as well as the 911 GT3 Cup racing car. Two door Porsche models actually became
more popular in China last year, with sales having gone up by 11% compared to
2015.
