Porsche Panamera gains Platinum Edition with bespoke design

The Porsche Panamera Turbo has gained a new variant with bespoke platinum-themed design features and more standard equipment.  

The Panamera 4 Platinum Edition, on show in LA, includes several design changes in platinum, such as the Porsche logo, its 21in alloy wheels, the air outlet trims behind the front wheels and the 'e-Hybrid' badge on electrified models. 

Other design changes include black sports tailpipes, gloss-black side window trims, privacy glass and tail-lights of an exclusive design.

The model also gains a host of extras as standard to improve regular driving, including active suspension management (PASM), auto-dimming exterior mirrors, LED matrix headlights, parking assistance, a reversing camera and lane-change assistance. 

Inside the car, the cabin is finished with a brushed aluminium interior package. A GT sports steering wheel is included along with 14-way electrically adjustable comfort seats, rear heated seats and a Bose surround sound system. The Porsche logo has also been embossed onto the headrests. 

Other changes include soft-close doors, brushed aluminum door sill guards and an analogue clock on the dashboard. Hybrid models also come equipped with a 7.2kW on-board charger.

Prices for Platinum Edition models start at £83,510, rising to £94,850 for the range-topping E-Hybrid Sport Turismo. Pricing-wise, the special edition sits above 4 but just below the 4S. 

The Platinum Edition will be premiered at the Los Angeles motor show on 17 November before customer deliveries begin in the first quarter of 2022.
