Now that's one fast saloon!

On June 13, 2011, Porsche took the Panamera Turbo to the Shanghai Formula 1 Circuit to break the lap record for a four-door production car. The result was a lap of 2:29.640 min. Watch the footage in this video. More information on http://www.porsche.cn

Jox thinks the Panamera still holds the world record for ugliest 4 door saloon in the world.

So what was the previous lap record for a four-door production car?

Was there one? It's pretty easy to set a lap record when it's never been done before....

Of course it set the record.... It is the baddest sedan on the planet.

Now where can I get that tow hitch, I need to tow my race cars with my race sedan.

Notice that they used the Michelin super sports. They need to go back to the Ring and reset the sedan record.

I'm pretty sure the tires in the video were Michelin Pilot Sport 2's as the Super Sports havn't got the size or "N" rating for the Panamera yet. The Super Sports aren't a track tyre anyway ite the Sport Cups that are track tyres.
