Porsche 970 Panamera GTS

Porsche introduced the Panamera GTS for the 2013 model year, positioning it as the enthusiast's choice within the 970 generation. It features a high-output version of the naturally-aspirated 4.8-liter V8 from the 4S, tuned to produce 430 horsepower. Standard equipment included Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) with a 10mm lower ride height, the Sport Chrono package, and a Porsche Sport Exhaust, creating a focused four-door package straight from the factory.

The 970 GTS holds a special place for collectors and drivers because it's the last Panamera GTS equipped with a naturally-aspirated V8. Its sharp throttle response and aggressive exhaust note offer a character that later turbocharged models can't replicate. The GTS formula, which bundles many desirable performance options, combined with four-door practicality, makes it a compelling and versatile modern Porsche.

With an average sale price of around $39,000, the 970 GTS has become an accessible performance bargain. While prices have depreciated from new, they have found a stable floor, with excellent, low-mileage examples commanding a premium. These cars represent a strong value compared to their contemporary rivals and offer a unique V8 experience that is no longer available in a new Panamera.

Prices range from $19,500 for driver-quality cars to $164,981 for the absolute best examples on the market.
