Porsche have confirmed that the first series production of the new Panamera Sport Turismo has started at their plant in Leipzig in Germany with their first customer vehicles already passing through the production line through the body shop, paint shop and assembly line.
Gerd Rupp, Chair of the Executive Board at Porsche Leipzig GmbH commented “This launch confirms Leipzig’s leading role in the production of highly complex model and technology variants. As the winner of the J.D. Power Award, the plant is known for its outstanding production quality worldwide and its optimal mix of workshop manufacturing and series production”
A completely new production facility for the new Porsche Panamera range expanded the existing site with the introduction of a body shop specifically for this model. Costing a whopping EUR 500 million the site also benefitted from a brand new quality centre that provides much needed assistance during the start of production for new models. It also provides a buffer for the tough quality requirements Porsche imposes and manages the transition from the development stage to series production. Celebrating its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2017, the Panamera Sport Turismo makes a serious statement in the luxury car segment with its distinct design.
More versatile than any other model in its class with a large tailgate, low loading edge, increased luggage compartment volume and a 4+1 seating concept, the new Panamera model offers the ideal combination of maximum flexibility and everyday usability.
