The Porsche Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo unveiled at the Singapore Motorshow 2018

“The Singapore Motorshow 2018 is a terrific way to start the year, yet as we look back at 2017 I am pleased to announce that we achieved another record year for Porsche in Singapore, with 615 units sold.

This year, we are looking to build further on that success with the new Panamera Sport Turismo as well as the other new models we have on show here,” said Dr. Henrik Dreier, General Manager – Singapore, Porsche Asia Pacific.
