The Turbo sounds like the bees knees but will surely be topping $85k+ after options, which is out of my realm. Not sure I'd be satisfied with just the S but I'll want to test drive one!
If the S is indeed based off the 3.0 twin turbo in the Panamera S, there should be no problem tuning it out to 420hp (stock Panamera S hp), granted someone can actually tune it.

I'm excited by the up to 90% power to the rear wheels excerpt I read from one of the ridealongs.
