IMHO the Sport Turismo looks great in darker colors, the classic line in brighter colors. After choosing first Agate Grey, I switched in the last moment to Black Metallic, which looks very sporty with the black wheels.

It looks great! I'm torn between agate grey and volcano grey. I'm getting sport design in gloss black like yours but think the green brake calipers may be better with agate grey.

Hi.

I have a Panamera 4 (not Sport Turismo) which I collected 9 months ago. Until the last minute, I was going with Volcano Grey with the two tone chalk/black interior. At the very last minute, I swerved to Carmine Red with black full leather interior and have no regrets! :-)

I did toy with swapping to a Sport Turismo a couple of months back, but would have lost £13k on my car, which was a bit much to take. However, had I been offered a better trade in deal on my current car, I'd have gone for an ST in Sapphire Blue with black wheels similar to those in the photo above.

If going hybrid, I think I'd opt for black calipers, rather than the acid green. Just my thoughts. :-)

I bought a new Panamera 4e hybrid last July in white and red leather..We loved it but just a month ago while picking up my new RY GT3 my wife spotted a new Panamera 4e hybrid Sport Turismo in the showroom and loved it..Anyway a few days later my sales guy gave me a courtesy call and i mentioned we had an interest in the Sport Turismo..He later phoned offering a great deal to p/x my existing white Panamera and i immediately paid a deposit to secure the new car.
Visually the new Sport Turismo was absolutely perfect and i still stop to admire it when i walk by it..Its in Jet Black with the expensive 21'' Exclusive design wheels(Painted in gloss black),Black painted calipers,privacy glass,Panoramic roof and all black full leather interior.Basically its a totally blacked out car inside and out and it gives it a mean,sporty,sinister look and we love it.
Another point worth making is the extra trunk space and third rear seat although not impressive on paper but in reality it makes it much more practical than the saloon..With this totally blacked out look its absolutely essential to have the Panoramic roof.

Lucky you with a brand new GT3! :-)

RY = Racing Yellow?

It's a shame that the GT cars are always in such short supply.

Thanks Everyone for your ideas and photos. I just got a Panamera ST booklet from Porsche. Page 25 shows Porsche Exclusive ST in Volcano Grey, Blacked out windows, exhaust,rear tail lights, black Sport Design package and 21" Sport Design wheels in Jet Black metallic. Looks special and so thats the way I'm going. Not sure if I should black out brakes vs acid green????

Each to their own, but personally I'd go for black brake calipers.

Here you are Volcano Grey with black wheels. Looks fantastic!

Volcano + Gloss black window trip (please not the silver) AND the tinted rear lights (i.e. what the car above has).

Think the silver rim of the black wheels doesn't work IMO
