I now know the culprit for the delay of the Panamera Turbo Powerkit and the Panamera Turbo S:

The turbo charger.

Apparently there have been quality issues. The issues have been fixed but the fixed parts can only be manufactured piece by piece, thus limiting the number of available parts.

The Powerkit for the Turbo is currently not available for order, apparently the Turbo S models have production priority until the necessary parts can be produced in larger numbers again.
