Unveiled earlier this fall to kick off the 2012 Paris Motor Show, Porsche presents a further look at its highly-anticipated Panamera Sport Turismo. Uniting the sportiness of the German luxury automobile manufacturer’s iconic designs with the functionality of the station wagon, the concept vehicle boasts parallel supercharged 3-liter V6 and lithium-ion battery-powered engines capable of 335 horsepower and a top speed of 130 km/h in fully-electric mode.
