The top-of-the-line model of the all-new Panamera range made pit-stops at the most iconic locations around the island over the course of four days from 3 to 6 November 2016 – The Fullerton Hotel and Dempsey Hill on the first day, Suntec City on the second day, Ion Orchard on the third day and W Singapore Sentosa Cove on the fourth day.
The Panamera City Tour marks the soft launch of this all-new model range to the public. Already available for reservation now, the first models in this series will be delivered immediately after the official launch in the first quarter of 2017.
During its City Tour, the Panamera Turbowas on a trailer pulled by a Cayenne SUV and escorted by an entourage formed by members of Porsche Club Singapore. At Suntec City and Ion Orchard, passers-by enjoyed complimentary Porsche-prepared ice cream, while they got up close and personal with the Panamera Turbo.
A variety of fun activities and contests were also held on the Porsche Centre SG Facebook page. Winners of a “best photo” contest will get invites to the 2017 official launch event, while other selected participants stand to win a two-day, one-night staycation at W Singapore Sentosa Cove, a business lunch for four at The Fullerton Hotel Singapore, and sought-after Porsche merchandise.
Redeveloped, rethought and realigned, the all-new Panamera reconciles two contrasting worlds more than ever before: the performance of a genuine sports car and the comfort of a luxury saloon. Systematically improved down to the very last detail, this new model is steadily advancing to become a performance icon in the luxury saloon class. Its engines and transmissions have been developed from the ground up, its chassis perfected, and its interior redesigned for the future.
“The all-new Panamera debuted to much fanfare in Berlin and we have witnessed great interest here in Singapore. The idea of the Panamera City Tour was conceived to give Porsche enthusiasts and car fanatics a chance to preview the car before its official unveiling next year. Now more of a sports car than ever before, the all-new Panamera offers the best of both worlds and brings together luxurious comfort, practical space, and the impressively sporty driving performance that Porsche is renowned for. We are confident that this model will be very well-received locally,” said Karsono Kwee, executive chairman of Eurokars Group.
