Its a combo car that allows for two cars in one for those of us with limited space.

Anyhow the hre p101’s are what Im getting. Wheels Boutique out of Miami seems to be profiting from the opportunity.

All this is light years ahead of paying for extra mechanical hardware to separate me from the road and feel of driving a car 800 lbs heavier in the turbo s.
I think many share your sentiment as there are tons of 2017 Panamera Turbos still on the lot. Plus it finished last among that recent comparison.
Most expensive by far and yet the slowest. Porsche needs to up their game, then again they probably don't care that much about this segment.
