The ultimate high-performance version of Porsche’s first-generation Panamera, the Turbo S equips a 4.8-liter V8 engine producing over 540 HP and launching the car from 0 to 60 MPH in approximately 3 seconds. This 2012 example is finished in Black over a matching full leather interior and comes appointed with the SportDesign Package, a heated steering wheel, Sport Exhaust tailpipes, ParkAssist, Carbon Interior Package, and other desirable options amounting to an original sticker price of over $185k. It also received an upgraded exhaust along with newer Panamera SportDesign wheels. This Panamera was previously acquired as a certified pre-owned vehicle from Porsche Wichita and is now being offered for auction out of California showing approximately 81k miles on the odometer.
This Panamera is finished in Black and includes the optional SportDesign Package which adds a revised front fascia, side skirts, and a painted rear diffuser. Other options include Black Bi-Xenon headlights, Sport Exhaust tailpipe trim, and the High-Gloss Monochrome Black Exterior Package. The car rides on upgraded 21” Panamera SportDesign wheels from a later Panamera model. New Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires are mounted in front and the rear tires are said to have been installed within the last 2k miles. Clear paint protection film is applied over the nose section and some minor signs of road-going wear are present. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The cabin is appointed with black full leather upholstery and includes the optional Carbon Interior Package, a heated steering wheel, front seat ventilation, and Lane Change Assist (LCA) with blind sport detection. Other options include a satellite and HD radio receiver, Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS), and ParkAssist with a reversing camera.
Compared to that of the standard Panamera Turbo, the engine of the Turbo S uses high-pressure fuel injection, aluminum alloy pistons, and larger turbochargers for an output of up to 542 HP and 553 lb.-ft of torque. All four wheels are driven through a 7-speed dual-clutch PDK transmission. Standard performance features include Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC), Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV), and Sport Chrono Package. This example also received an upgraded exhaust including Cargraphic headers, sport cats, and H-pipe. Some front suspension components are said to have been updated and a long history of dealer maintenance is provided on the CARFAX report including the last service by Porsche South Bay in February 2023.
This sale will include a clean title (lien).

@Adm thanks a lot for the kind words! The Cargraphic exhaust was purchased in March of 2021. I have not had any CEL or smog issues since install. It just passed smog a couple months ago. The car was CPO when I purchased it but no warranty included. The parking sensor sits flush and functions as it should. There's something smudged on the sensor it looks like and was missed during the detail. Apologies for that - I'm sure it can be cleaned off.
@rasantproducts Thank you for the great pics, video, and descriptions! When were the exhaust mods done? Any issues with smog or check engine lights since then? The description mentions the CPO ... was it under CPO when the repairs you mentioned were made for suspension and tie rods? If yes, did you use a Porsche shop under warranty? On pics 27 and 28, a parking sensor seems pressed in -- is that working correctly?

@jjahshan thanks for the question! I see the previous owner had a couple “alignment checked” items on the carfax. Not sure on those - possibly a standard procedure that shop performed?
I replaced the front air suspension shocks, upper control arms, lower control arm bushings and had the dealership align the car at ~78k. They recommended changing the tie rods as well. The tie rods were just replaced and had a follow up alignment.
Could you tell me why so many alignments were performed on the vehicle?

Hi @Thecrougur, thanks for the questions and bid!
PDK fluid was serviced along with front and rear differential at 65k miles. I used factory fluids and monitored PDK temps to get the level correct.
The car was factory equipped with the sport exhaust. I've uploaded a cold start video to the PCARMARKET team and hopefully that will be up shortly.
The exhaust sounds great!! Even with the sport exhaust the car had very little sound from the factory. Without sport exhaust open the car is still very quiet, zero drone when cruising. With the valve open and windows down the car sounds incredible. I think it's much closer to what a sport exhaust does for more modern Porsche's.
The video is a cold start. The valve is open during initial start then automatically closes. I give it a little rev with and without the valve open while the revs are still high from the cold start (~1200rpm idle reving to ~2250rpm) - yes that's the turbos spooling! Then the car settles down to a warm idle (~700rpm) and I turn the valve on and off again with light revs.
Any indication or record of PDK being serviced? Couldn’t find it in the carfax.
Also, is the sport exhaust OEM or was it changed out with the headers and CAT install? Any chance for a video?
Thanks!
