2016 Porsche Panamera 4.8 V8 GTS Hatchback

Description

I’ve had this Porsche Panamera for a few years now — it’s been a real joy to drive, especially on the roads around the Orkney Islands. It’s a 4.8-litre V8 with 440ps, and the car feels powerful without being too loud. The carbon grey metallic paint is clean and looks great in the sunlight, and the garnet red leather seats are comfy — I use the memory settings all the time, so I can just get into the driver’s seat and be ready to go.

It’s got all the smart bits: xenon headlights with PDLS, LED daytime running lights, park assist with cameras on both front and rear, and a big 7-inch touchscreen with DAB radio and navigation. The BOSE sound system is actually pretty good — I’ve played some tunes and it’s loud and clear without being too aggressive.

Inside, it’s all sporty with Porsche embossed headrests and armrests, and the carbon interior package gives it that premium feel. The 20-inch alloy wheels look sharp, and the adaptive air suspension makes it feel stable on uneven roads — especially useful when driving through the hills around Orkney.

I’ve kept it well maintained, and it’s fully MOT’d and valeted. The car has a full service history, and I’ve even got the original manuals and a couple of spare keys. There’s a lot of tech stuff under the hood — cruise control, start-stop, power steering, heated wipers, rain sensor, and even a rear wiper.

It’s not the cheapest car on the market, but it’s one of the few that still feels like a proper Porsche. I’m selling it because I’ve moved to Orkney and it’s easier to keep it in the islands now. I’m not looking for a quick buyer — just someone who appreciates a well-maintained, high-spec car with real driving quality.

If you’re interested, I’ll chat it over — no emails, just a call. I’ve been in the car business since 1983, so I know what’s good and what’s not. The car’s been through a few seasons of weather and road conditions, but it’s still running strong.

Price is £26,055.50 — that’s the actual amount, just so you know. I’ve kept it in good shape and it’s been treated like a proper family car. If you’re thinking about buying a car that feels like it’s been driven by someone who knows what they’re doing, this one’s worth a look.
