Porsche Panamera 2017 review: carbyr.uk/2fHmnrO
Watch our latest video: bit.ly/carbuyervideos
The second generation Porsche Panamera improves on the original in pretty much every way. It looks every inch the five-door Porsche 911, and offers plenty of interior and boot space. It's also excellent to drive, allowing the passengers to travel in comfort, while still exciting the driver through superb ride and handling and masses of performance. The latest car is loaded with tech, which goes some way to justifying its huge price tag.

Khu NoPie not really, since the airbag wouldn't even deploy, because he can actually react quick enough to a new situation without causing an accident while failing to get up from the napping position and trying to set his fries into the cup holder. the way most americans drive. that's why you have so many deadly accidents without actually driving fast.

£113k for a Panamera diesel?? In about a years time we will be seeing the new CLS63 and new RS7 which will both be priced from £90k and have just as nice interiors but with 600+ bhp. Porsche really know how to fuck you on optional extras.

UzzyFuzzyy not the current rs7, i meant the new 2018 model which will fall in line with the design cues from the new Q7/A4 etc. Spec yourself a porsche panamera, it literally has fuck all as standard and they never have decent option packages, its so not worth buying new

Kudos for Porsche's effort to have RHD user interface for the sat-nav, etc. In many cars you ask yourself why are the buttons so far away, until you realize, you just sit "on the wrong" side from a developper perspective. Sure it's easy to do on a touch-screen, but still deserves appreciation.

Full torque from 1000 rpm, that's pretty impressive! Are all diesel cars like this ? Forgive my ignorance.

@3232schmitty 7 жыл бұрын

More or less, yes. The design of the diesel engine makes it so that they are incredibly torque-y from very low rpm's but they don't rev very high. Most diesel engines redline at or before 5000 rpm. There's a reason a lot of American heavy duty pick up trucks, and most semi trucks and busses are diesels.

@Fermion911 7 жыл бұрын

Modern tubocharged petrol engines have peak torque available from lower rpm than most turbodiesels. But this diesel not only has 2 turbos but also 1 electric compressor! That's why it has so much torque at so low rpm. This 4.0 V8 TDI is capable of 900Nm of torque, whereas newest 4.0 V8 petrol engine from AMG delivers 850Nm, but significantly more horsepower. Not to mention insane sound of the petrol V8 :-)

Hi BBD Smint, my original comment on the costs of running a Panamera, were made in response to James's remark that the running costs of a Panamera were similar to those of a medium priced family car. He readily admitted that this was whimsical. Of course the Panamera is a better proposition than other cars of a similar price. Every Porsche is. However working for 30 years in the Motor Industry Informs me that medium priced family cars are different to supercars. Will you allow me that?

Mikael Soltaniha As much as I would like it to, I don't think so. This is mainly because this interior is too, perhaps, luxurious, and the 911 is the king of sports, and this interior doesn't really fit a 911, but maybe the bigger screen and the touch buttons will be there, in a different look.
