Pricing for the extra 40-hp that you may or may not really need? $21,730 and sales will start in November 2010 through Porsche Tequipment.

Porsche is also offering Panamera owners a new Sport Design Package that includes an exterior color painted front fascia with widened black air intake grilles, side skirts and the standard, exterior color rear underbody apron with diffuser and fins.
