“On growing demand, we expect accumulated sales of Panamera to surpass 10,000 units soon,” Porsche Korea said.

Korea was the third-biggest market for Porsche’s Panamera 4, following China and the US last month, the company said.

The new Panamera is priced between 137 million won ($126,040) and 256 million won.
