The Panamera S was a variant of the 1st Gen Porsche Panamera that was introduced for the 2010 model year. The S was a V8 powered sedan that featured a naturally aspirated 4.8L powerplant. For the vast majority of these cars, this power was sent to the rear wheels through a 7 speed 'PDK' automatic transmission, but 96 cars were fitted with a 6 speed manual. Production of the 1st Gen Panamera S lasted until 2016, when the 2nd Gen Porsche Panamera debuted.
