Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo station-wagon concept

First the trend among German carmakers was to build “four-door coupes”. Now the trend seems to be “four-door coupe station-wagons”, or whatever the marketing people want to call them. Porsche has just unveiled a near-production concept of their upcoming Panamera Sport Turismo wagon.

Arguably, it looks better than the much-criticised Panamera “sedan”, although the need for such a variant is dubious at best, with the Cayenne around. Special features include a plug-in hybrid drivetrain making a combined 416 hp, an adaptive carbon-fibre rear spoiler, and full LED headlights.

The Panamera Sport Turismo is pretty much confirmed for production, by the looks of it, so the street version will likely pop into showrooms in a year or two.
