The 300-hp V-6 is quick, the 380-hp hybrid and the 400-hp V-8 are quicker still, and the 500-hp Turbo—well, let's just say we've squeezed a 3.3-second 0-to-60 run out of that 4400-pound rocket. But this is Porsche, and where a Turbo exists, a Turbo S isn't far behind. So here is the Panamera Turbo S, more powerful by 50 hp thanks to a modified ECU, and more responsive thanks to modified turbochargers with titanium-aluminum turbine blades.
