With sales of its four-door coupe hitting record numbers around the globe, Porsche has announced a new top-of-the-line model. The Panamera Turbo S packs a prodigious 550 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque from its twin-turbocharged V8 engine – 50 and 37 more than the existing Panamera Turbo.

The extra oomph is said to drive the Turbo S to a 3.6-second 0-60 time and a 190 mph top speed. In other words, supercar levels of performance, with a suitably supercar price: $173,200 is where it starts. The Porsche Panamera Turbo S will be unveiled in April at the New York Auto Show.
