Porsche has unveiled a unique one-off version of the upcoming Porsche Panamera, showcasing the customization possibilities offered by their in-house personalization program known as Sonderwunsch. This program, which shares its name with a 1970s Porsche program, was revived a few years ago with a broader scope. It remains an exclusive offering and involves consultations with experts from either the Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur or Porsche Classic departments, depending on whether the personalization is for a new or classic car.
Depending on the extent of personalization desired, the work can be carried out either before delivery, referred to as Factory Commissioning, or after delivery, known as Factory Re-Commissioning. These customizations typically involve unique color choices and trim adjustments. For more comprehensive customization, there’s the Factory One-Off option, which also occurs post-delivery and necessitates sending the car back to the Porsche factory for the work.
For the particular one-off Panamera, called the Panamera Turbo Sonderwunsch, Porsche opted for Factory Re-Commissioning. This involved applying a striking two-tone paint finish, with both colors being variations of a distinctive shade known as Leblon Violet Metallic. The top part of the car is adorned with a lighter hue, while the bottom part fades into a lighter color. Black accents adorn the rocker panels, lip spoiler, and rear diffuser, while the headlights and taillights receive a tint. Bronze accents accentuate the 21-inch wheels and exhaust tips, and a clear coat with gold flakes adorns all painted surfaces.
Porsche officially showcased the Panamera Turbo Sonderwunsch during the recent debut of the redesigned Panamera in Shanghai. The revamped Panamera is scheduled to arrive at U.S. dealerships next spring as a 2024 model. While it retains an updated version of the current Panamera’s platform, the new model offers more plug-in hybrid options, an enhanced suspension, and an interior featuring an array of screens.
The initial lineup will include base and Turbo E-Hybrid models, with the latter featuring a plug-in hybrid powertrain comprising a twin-turbocharged V-8 engine that produces a combined output of 670 hp. The base model, on the other hand, boasts a turbocharged V-6 engine with 348 hp. Pricing for the base model starts at $101,550, which includes a $1,650 destination charge. Pricing for the Turbo E-Hybrid variant will be disclosed closer to its market launch next year.
