This 2013 Porsche Panamera Platinum Edition was Porsche’s blacked-out send-off for the first-generation car. Specifically, that means high-gloss black exterior trim, 20-inch 911 Turbo II wheels, and full leather throughout. Because the Platinum Edition was a limited run near the end of the 970’s life, it also arrived better equipped than a standard Panamera. As a result, you get the extras without hunting the options list.

Under the hood, meanwhile, the 3.6L V6 and 7-speed PDK move it along quickly. Still, it never shouts about it. Moreover, rear-wheel drive keeps the steering honest, while the extra weight of an all-wheel-drive system stays out of the equation. In other words, this is the configuration that still feels like a sports car. Even so, PDK handles stop-and-go traffic as easily as an empty stretch of derestricted autobahn. Consequently, it works as a daily driver, though most cars this quick do not.

Inside, there are four proper seats, and each one gets its own space and its own controls. Indeed, this is one of the few cars in its class that suits a family of four. For example, a long weekend in Garmisch works without anyone drawing the short straw. Furthermore, the hatch swallows real luggage, so you never choose between passengers and bags.

Above all, though, it’s a German car in Germany. Therefore parts and Porsche-trained technicians sit down the road instead of across an ocean. Consequently, the running costs that scare people off a used Panamera back home simply don’t apply here.

Finally, it’s a premium U.S.-spec example offered tax-free in Germany, and the clean US title plus CARFAX are available on request. Additionally, every car we sell includes a 12-month EU-wide warranty, a fresh safety inspection, and free delivery to your garrison. Reserve it with a $300 deposit.
