The useful new Porsche has been on our radar for a while now, having been snapped various times by our spy professional photographers as well as verified to car reveal by Porsche CEO Oliver Blume last year. It’s one of two new designs for Porsche at this year’s Geneva show, appearing together with the new 911 GT3 4.0-litre.

Little modifications from the 2012 Panamera sport Turismo Concept. The new Mercecedes-Benz CLS shooting Brake rival takes the second generation Panamera as well as adds an estate style boot, extra traveler area as well as an additional seat in the back, squeezed into the exact same 5,049mm length body.

At the back, the shape of the new rear end is kept true to the Panamera’s four-door coupe mantra with a roofline that carefully bleeds out, keeping bulk to a minimum. A new rear spoiler with an active wing aspect sits above the rear window, the angle of the spoiler altering depending upon speed as well as car settings. It can produce as much as 50kg of downforce, however many of the time it’s tucked away to minimise drag as well as save fuel.
