The Panamera Sport Turismo is in it's final year of production from Porsche. On the outside of the Chalk GTS you will discover 21in wheels, 6-piston Brembo brakes, panoramic roof and blacked out accents. On the inside you will be welcomed to an interior covered in race-tex and carbon fiber. Under the hood is a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 that is mated to an 8-speed PDK gearbox. Is the 2023 Porsche Panamera GTS a BETTER performance car than an Audi RS6 Avant?

When I got wind that Porsche would discontinue the Panamera ST for the 2024 MY refresh, I immediately sought out a 2023 MY ST in our area. There were not many around. I fortunately found one that met my requirements. Four months into ownership and driving around in various situations, I cannot be more pleased. The vehicle stands out and looks great. And it is so practical in loading things in the back. I hope Porsche reconsiders the ST body style in the future for its Panamera refresh.

The Panamera GTS is a beautiful vehicle but I would have to go with the Audi RS6 Avant. It is also a fantastic looking ride and it's about 40K less expensive. However the surprise of 2024 could very well be the Jaguar F Pace SVR. Yes, it's an SUV but it's less then 100K and it's probably the best performing SUV on the market. Especially for the price. It punches why above it's weight class. Anyway, another fun video. Thank You. Cheers!!!

As a wagon enthusiast, I drool over this car, along with the Audi RS6 Avant. Choosing between the two would be agonizingly difficult - I love both, although I'd say the Audi is more of a traditional station wagon, whereas the Sport Turismo is more of a chopped off wagon or extended hatchback, like the body style of a Golf GTI (although the Golf doesn't have that rear window behind the rear doors).

I went from a 2013 Panamera GTS to a 2015 RS7, which is of course mechanically identical to the RS6. I then went back to Porsche when the Sport Turismo arrived, with a Turbo S/T. I now drive a '21 Panamera Turbo S S/T. I'm devastated that PCNA will no longer import the Panamera S/T in any of its versions. I cross shopped the RS6 when it was released, but my experience with the RS7 led me stay with Porsche. What nobody seems to comment on is the HUGE difference in handling between the Porsche and the Audi. The RS6, like all IE Audis, has its entire engine mounted ahead of the front axle. This leads to a car that when pushed will always understeer noticeably. The Porscfhe handling is much more neutral, particularly with the rear wheel steering. Yes, there is a price delta. But comparing the two cars directly, the Porsche is way more car than the Audi.
