I forgot to post about my experience with the Panamera Turbo S.

Drove it just over a week ago thanks to the great sales person we buy all our Porsche from.

Car had just over 20 miles on the odometer and I was the third person to drive it

Car did not have PCCB's unfortunately, but none the less.

I did drive the Panamera Turbo previously and I don't really notice too much difference overall, until you step on the accelerator

The car lights up all 4 wheels and has torque steer on a AWD car like I have never felt before! This thing is silly fast for a saloon. Gave me the same feeling of acceleration as the 911 Turbo S! The only thing that was disappointing, was the exhaust note. I understand this is supposed to be an executive saloon, but a little aural pleasure wouldn't hurt. Even in sport mode and with the sports exhaust, I couldn't really tell the difference to the stock system to be honest.

This car was also equipped with the Burmeister sound system and what a difference over the Bose! If you can afford it, I would take this option. I am not one that is big on sound, but after hearing the difference - it is just phenomenal!

All in all a great car and as expected from a Porsche. Would take this over any fast saloon on the market hands down.

 

my panny knowledge is limited, the s is just a chipped turbo from the factory?

 

When do you take delivery?

 

To be honest, I have no idea. I shifted the deposit over when details of the 4.0 was made official. The same happened when the GT2RS was released. Everytime I try to order a Panamera, some new limited edition 911 comes out

I don't have any space as it is. Building is progressing extremely slow!

Not quite exactly, but pretty much.

 

Yea I hate when that happens. But I heard there will be a 911 Panamera limited edition soon so then you can get it all in one

Sounds great about the Pana TTS Mike, the "normal" TT is stupidly fast for a saloon so I can imagine it is quite an experience.

 

the only flaw of the panny is that it always makes you want to find anything that is not that awesome

great car!

 

I had a little street acceleration run against a Panny Turbo a while back.

My Turbo Coupe is REALLY fast and heavily modified.

That damn Panny stayed with me longer than any other car ever has. Longer than any Lambo or Z06.

I don't think I have ever been so shocked.

 

Good thing it didn't get by you or else you would've had to see that hideous rear end!

 

i hope porsche makes a proper 2 door version with a nice looking rear. i would line up to get one.

as it is, no thanks. i don't care how fast it is. it's an eye sore.

 

Couldn't agree more. Wouldn't take if it was free. I would feel compelled to drive it and once seen in it I would be embarrassed. I will drag anyone in my S65. Bring it on Ginger. Come on up to the classy part of CA and I'll prove it.
