After launching the Panamera facelift in India, Porsche has now begun taking bookings for the 2014 Panamera Turbo S, claimed to be the fastest and most powerful Panamera in the line-up.

The 2014 Panamera Turbo S produces close to 50bhp more than the standard Turbo variant, at 562bhp, from its 4.8-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine. Porsche says that this additional power output is down to two new turbochargers with larger compressors that increase air flow, while the charger injects more oxygen into the combustion chambers at high speeds. Torque is up as well by 5kgm to 76.4kgm. As a result, 0-100kph takes 3.8 seconds, while top speed is a claimed 310kph.

While prices haven’t been announced yet, bookings for the new Porsche Panamera Turbo S are on in India. The standard Turbo variant is priced at Rs 1.99 crore, so expect this Turbo S variant to cost a bit more. The car will have its world premiere at the upcoming Tokyo motor show.
