Porsche Panamera GTS
The Panamera GTS is the purist’s choice: a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 producing 473 hp with an unmistakable V8 soundtrack from the standard sport exhaust. It rides 10 mm lower on air suspension, wears the Sport Design package, and comes with Sport Chrono as standard. Of all Panamera variants, the GTS delivers the most visceral, analogue driving experience.

Our 2026 Porsche Panamera GTS Rating
FORPORSCHE RATING: 9/10
Pros
4.0L V8 soundtrack and analogue feel; sport air suspension standard; GTS body kit; the best-driving pure-combustion Panamera; emotional engine character no hybrid can replicate.
Cons
No electrification means higher fuel costs; V8 adds weight at the front; GTS is the most focused daily-use Panamera.
Verdict
The driver Panamera. If the analogue V8 grand touring experience is what you want, this is the model. The GTS stands entirely alone in character within the Panamera range.
