Porsche Panamera 970 (1st Generation)

2010–2016 · 970 · sedan

First-gen Panamera. 3.6L V6 / 4.8L V8 (naturally aspirated and twin-turbo) / 3.0L diesel V6 / S Hybrid. Manual on early base cars; PDK or Tiptronic elsewhere. Sport Turismo wagon variant never reached North America in the 970 generation. Styling was controversial at launch; consensus has warmed.

Watch out: 4.8L V8 cars: bore scoring on a subset of cars (similar pattern to other Porsche M48 V8 engines of the era — borescope before purchase). Diesel cars affected by VW Group emissions buyback. PDK and air-suspension are generally durable; PCM is dated by modern standards.
