Most people are familiar with the Porsche Panamera sedan. Since its introduction in 2009, it has been one of the best-selling models in its class. Combining luxury with 911 performance and looks. For 2017, Porsche presented the second generation with even sleeker styling and more power. However, Porsche is offering a diesel option for buyers outside the states (via Top Gear).

Under the hood is the 4.0-liter twin-turbo diesel engine that delivers 422 hp. While it doesn’t sound like an especially huge power output, it has impressive torque ratings. The 4.0-liter oil burner has 627 lb.-ft of torque available at 1,000 rpm. This much torque will provide lightning-fast acceleration times and will easily pull this heavy sedan to 177 mph top speed. Of course, the Panamera 4S Diesel isn’t available in America and probably never will be.
