Having a car that could travel in all weather conditions and spend more time on the road between refills could define a good long-range traveler. The Panamera 4S Diesel was just like that.

Porsche dreamed about a 4-door saloon hard and long until it got real. The original prototype was in the late '80s and it was named 989. But it wasn't real until the first Panamera appeared, a car that made the same numbers of friends and enemies.

The Panamera 4S was more like a detuned Panamera Turbo rather than an upgraded Panamera 4, especially since it featured a twin-turbo engine under the hood.

Along with the introduction of the Panamera range at the 2009 Shanghai Auto Show, Porsche introduced the 4S version as well. It was one of the best-balanced versions of its stablemates.
