Familiar lines present the acquired taste that is the Porsche Panamera, only this time it comes slightly tweaked in Turbo S form. At first glance, there's not much to distinguish this car from the Turbo, though a closer look reveals unique 20-inch wheels, a wider rear track width, unique lower-body aero, and inside, a two-tone finish--and of course there are the Turbo S badges. Starting at $173,200, you're not just paying for the look, though. You want performance, and the Turbo S delivers to the tune of 550 horsepower, 590 pound-feet of torque, and 0-60 mph times of 3.6 seconds. It's big...
