<\/p>\nLess than two weeks after the debut of the 2024 Porsche Panamera, the automaker has another reason to celebrate. This marks the departure of the two-millionth Porsche from its Leipzig assembly line, a stunning Panamera Turbo E-Hybrid finished in an elegant Madeira Gold Metallic, which is now en route to its new owner in Dubai.<\/p>\n
Since it debuted in Leipzig in 2009, the Panamera line has played a pivotal role in the success story of Porsche’s production location in Saxony. The second generation’s production commenced in 2016, marking the Panamera’s integration as a “true Leipziger” when the assembly plant was expanded into a full factory with a paint shop and body production.<\/p>\n

“The expansion to a full factory was a groundbreaking decision for the site,” comments Gerd Rupp, Chairman of the Management Board at the plant. “As a full factory, we manufacture models in their entirety, from the construction of the body to the final assembly. This has laid the foundation for new car projects and continued growth.”<\/p>\n
Porsche’s Leipzig facility has also grown into a vital economic contributor and employer in the central German region, boasting a workforce of over 4,400 individuals. Over the years, the factory has also transformed into a hub for electric vehicles, and looking ahead, Porsche will be able to manufacture three types of powertrains \u2013 combustion, electric, and hybrid drives \u2013 on a single line.<\/p>\n
The 2024 Panamera is now available for order in the United States. It will hit dealerships in Spring 2024, with a starting price of $101,550, including a $1,650 destination charge. Additionally, the Panamera 4 will start at $108,550. Pricing details for the Panamera Turbo E-Hybrid will be released at a later date.<\/p>\n
