Official: Porsche Panamera Platinum Edition arriving in early 2013

Filed under: , ,



Porsche has been steadily bolstering its Panamera line since the car was first introduced adding models like the V6, Hybrid and GTS, and starting next year, it is adding a new model to the mix, the Panamera Platinum Edition. The 2013 Porsche Panamera Platinum Edition goes on sale on January 5, and it is only offered on the V6 models with a starting price of $80,500 for rear-wheel-drive and $84,600 for the all-wheel-drive Panamera 4 version; neither of these prices includes the $975 destination charge.

In terms of visual changes, the Platinum Edition gets unique platinum silver metallic inserts on the lower grille, rear diffuser and on the bottom edges of the door mirrors for a subtle differentiation from the base Panamera. Similarly, the interior adds a few styling upgrades as well with a new black-on-beige coloring throughout the cabin, a sport steering wheel and metallic door sill plates inscribed with "Platinum Edition."

Both versions of this new package represent a premium of more than $4,000 over a Panamera V6, but with this higher price comes plenty of equipment that are options on the base car. The Platinum Edition's standard features include the 19-inch Turbo alloy wheels (normally a $1,950 option), the Bose Audio system (a $1,990 option) and most of the equipment found in the $5,680 Premium Package, including the active bi-Xenon headlights and heated seats for all four passengers. Read more in the press release below.
