保时捷在四年前的巴黎车展发布了Sport Turismo概念车，而最近获悉其量产版将在明年3月的日内瓦车展首次亮相。最近谍照记者拍到了该车的原型车，但车厂试图将C柱往后的部分完全遮盖起来以掩饰其变化。它的前大灯更细窄，而遮盖的尾灯组则与轿车标准版非常接近。为了突出实用性，新车行李箱容积将超过标准版。轿车版在后排椅背直立情况下储物容积为495立升，如果将椅背放平为1304立升。不过这只是普通版本的储物容积，混动版由于在车尾增加了电机，容积降至405立升。而旅行车动力系统则与轿车版一样，包括4S版搭载的2.9升V6双涡轮引擎，功率324千瓦/440马力，扭矩550牛米；4S柴油版搭载4.0升V8引擎，功率310千瓦/422马力，扭矩850牛米；而顶级款搭载一台4.0升V8双涡轮引擎，功率404千瓦/542马力，扭矩770牛米。如果保时捷准备推出插电混动版，该车将搭载2.9升V6双涡轮和一台电机，综合功率340千瓦/462马力，扭矩700牛米。该车将于明年下半年在欧洲上市，随后将于2018年在美国上市。

2018 Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo wagons its tail
Four years ago at the Paris Motor Show, Porsche introduced the lovely Sport Turismo concept, and recently we have learned the production version will receive its much-awaited premiere in March 2017 at the Geneva Motor Show.

Seen here is a prototype of the car in question, but it’s trying to mask the changes at the back with some tape applied onto the C-pillar. In addition, it also has stickers on the headlights and taillights to hide a design that will have very much in common with the regular sedan’s clusters.

Speaking of practicality, the new body style will bring a boost in cargo capacity over the standard Panamera. The sedan can carry up to 495 liters of cargo with the rear seats in place and 1,304 liters once you fold them. Keep in mind these numbers are applicable only for the regular versions of the car, since the more frugal 4 E-Hybrid has a luggage compartment volume of only 405 liters with the seats up due to the extra electric hardware installed at the back.

The engines will likely mirror those of the sedan’s, meaning a biturbo 2.9-liter V6 with 440 horsepower (324 kilowatts) and 406 pound-feet of torque (550 Newton-meters of torque) for the 4S version. The 4S Diesel will have a biturbo 4.0-liter V8 with 422 hp (310 kW) and 628 lb-ft (850 Nm), while the range-topping Sport Turismo Turbo will get a biturbo 4.0-liter V8 with 542 hp (404 kW) and 568 lb-ft (770 Nm). If Porsche has plans to sell the wagon in a plug-in hybrid version as well, it will use a biturbo 2.9-liter V6 and an electric motor for a combined 462 hp (340 kW) and 517 lb-ft (700 Nm).

Following its launch in Europe in the second half of next year, the Sport Turismo will land in U.S. in 2018 at the earliest.
