Adding all-wheel drive hikes the RRP to \u00a369,412, while its Executive counterpart costs \u00a376,034.The plug-in petrol-electric hybrid Executive commands a \u00a384,838 ticket price, while Porsche asks \u00a398,672 for the long wheelbase 4S model. Finally, at \u00a3122,480, the range-topping Turbo Executive costs almost twice as much as the standard V6.These six new Panamera variants will make their world debut at the LA Motor Show on November 18th. Deliveries to UK customers will commence April 2017."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Latest News","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Cars","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/\/cars\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Sports Performance And Prestige Cars","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/\/cars\/\/sports-performance-and-prestige-cars\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"name":"New Porsche Panamera Executive Range","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/cars\/sports-performance-and-prestige-cars\/new-porsche-panamera-executive-range\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
