No no it's marketing and I'm guessing it's also to justify the price. This way the price get compared to the price of the Panamera Turbo (which is oddly 2k more expensive) and not to the price of the standard Panamera (which is almost 40% cheaper).

Overall it looks like a decent attempt from Porsche to bring something new to the table and still infused with the brand history. It's not cheap and I'm still hesitant about the design. I'm still waiting for reviews and see how the car can handle heating at more spirited driving.

I'm expecting the car to heavily depreciate very quickly.
