The new Panamera 4S Diesel is the fastest production diesel car in the world and I have been lucky enough to drive it. In this video I take a look at the impressive array of technology, including the all new dash and infortainment system. It is VERY impressive. I then take it out on the road and put it through its paces, exploring Normal, Sport and Sport+ modes.
Huge thanks to Porsche Centre Portsmouth for inviting me to drive to car and inviting me to the launch party a few weeks ago.

I have just ordered the E-Hybrid version so I have seen hundreds of videos on the Panamera and I have to say this is one of my favourites, thank you.

@PetrolPed 7 лет назад

That is kind of you to say. I'm glad you enjoyed it and I hope you enjoy your new car :-)

@ellpnk 7 лет назад

Having driven the new Panamera range I think you gave a great review and captured the essence of the car. You can't describe just how fast this car is with 850nm of torque it's a monster. The turbo is fantastic too but the power is delivered smoother with the diesel. I'm really enjoying your channel.

@PetrolPed 7 лет назад

Great to hear you like my stuff. Not driven the Turbo but I imagine it very rapid ! This car was very impressive.

@Viperrm64 7 лет назад

They have done an amazing job on restyling and reinventing the Panamera i absolutelylove this new version and especially the instrumentation, love this video Peter extremely interesting and informative as always.

Rob Mason Cheers Rob 👍

Many thanks Dude !

@souly25life 7 лет назад

great review great car. ive driven the last model and i feel the same way it has something special.

@PetrolPed 7 лет назад

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it !

@vickrana911 7 лет назад

Good video bud. I just picked up my first car sold here in Shanghai, China. Very pleased with the performance and built quality. Just feel solid in the car. Unfortunately my manual came in Chinese so this video came in very handy to know few functions that I could've not imagined.

@PetrolPed 7 лет назад

Wow...love to fact you are watching me in China ! It is such an impressive car...enjoy and glad I was some help :-)

@anthonyanderson5138 3 года назад

Fabulous car ... and an equally fabulous presenter!

@PetrolPed 3 года назад

Why thank you Anthony 🙏🏻👍

@philedwards7174 3 месяца назад

Watching this 7 year review. Have a look at today's (2024) Autotrader. What bargains today. Great content Ped. You've come along way, but you set a very high standard 7 years ago.

@PetrolPed 3 месяца назад

Wow, thanks!

@leeedens9497 7 лет назад

The next gen 2017 Porsche Panamera is the 1st model built off the VW Group's MSB platform (support front engine and rwd or awd layouts), US models get engines that will be shared with Audi (V6 and V8 turbos) and Bentley (V8 turbo), all Panamera get Porsche new 8 speed PDK (sourced from ZF), looks better than the last gen Panamera, but with inside the VW Group, Audi’s A7 family still is VW Group’s best looking sedan

@showefan 7 лет назад

Great as always. Cheers

@stefangeorgiev5855 4 года назад

Peter, you made me buy this car, bro! Thanks!

@PetrolPed 4 года назад

Awesome to hear 👍

@stefangeorgiev5855 4 года назад

@@PetrolPed I just got her! Unbelievable machine! Pulls like an elephant and in the same time burns 10-12 l/100 km. I think she has more than 421 hp? I had Audi A8 4.2 TDI 385 hp for 3 years and it's nothing like it.

@nickjh1968 7 лет назад

Another excellent review Peter, German built diesels are the best, that engine is mightily impressive.

@PetrolPed 7 лет назад

Cheers Nick :-)

@symbolicof 7 лет назад

For a 4 person luxury GT, I prefer this to the S Class and 7 Series. That TDV8 is a dream engine. Huge torque, good bhp, but you also get mpg and range. I know rich people can afford petrol, it's not about price. It's about making continuous stops for fuel. In a GT, you want to go fast but stop as little as possible. Its a shame BMW and Mercedes don't have TDV8 engines for their luxury cars.

@bouncycastles1214 6 лет назад

Symbolic Automotive Mercedes does do v8 and v12s on their high end petrol lineups bit no v8 diesels as far as I know. BMW answer to a v8 diesel is to get 3 litre 6 six cylinder diesel and strap in 4 turbos. Seriously overkill in my opinion just to meet the stringent fuel emissions and engine downsizing.

@philasturian8477 7 лет назад

Good video friend You explain well and are very friendly. Congratulations from Brazil

@PetrolPed 7 лет назад

Hi Felipe. Thank you and I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Hello to Brazil...a country I look forward to visiting one day as it looks amazing :-)

@ThatMartiniGuy 7 лет назад

Loved the video, I guess we had the same idea to review the same car and post on almost the same day! You did a much better job than me though

@PetrolPed 7 лет назад

I know. I saw your vid go up just a couple of days before mine and did smile. I've had a bit more practice than you but I always want to make the next video even better ! You just need to plan what you are going to say a little bit more. You've certainly got the confidence :-)

@ThatMartiniGuy 7 лет назад

Petrol Ped thanks for the feedback, I'm learning a lot as I carry on pursuing this, the scripting aspect I find very difficult but I'm sure with time it will come. Looking forward to your next instalment!

@PetrolPed 7 лет назад

Not necessarily a script, just a basic story board. Think of what it is you want to cover. Does that car have a particular thing you want to talk about. For the Panamera it was the tech. When I had the V12 Vantage it was the Gearbox. Then just think about the basic running order. I'm no expert by the way ;-)

@davehenderson9105 7 лет назад

Good review, well done!

@PetrolPed 7 лет назад

Thanks Dave :-)

@an-dt7129 7 лет назад

Second to comment, good review I was wondering why they did a sedan model and now I know. Also, you are so lucky to get to drive all these fantastic cars. How about doing one on the electric SLS, I read that it's supposed to be very powerful electric car.

@PetrolPed 7 лет назад

+An-D T I'd love to. Just need to try and arrange it !

@an-dt7129 7 лет назад

Petrol Ped I'll be waiting and watching.

@qendrrim2760 3 года назад

What abaut sound off this Panamera diesel ?

@thomasmasson9148 7 лет назад

2:28! Is it really the shape of the panamera? Not so sure...Shooting break spotted!

@edwill1595 7 лет назад

Awesome!!

@PetrolPed 7 лет назад

Cheers Ed :-)

@staceymcgrath6971 7 лет назад

Mega thumbs up quality vid mate...quick question? what is the combined MPG in a normal driving manner?

@PetrolPed 7 лет назад

Thanks. Porsche quote 42mpg Combined Cycle for the 4S Diesel. I don't think I got that as I was driving quite vigorously :-)

@staceymcgrath6971 7 лет назад

Petrol Ped Good figures for a V8 diesel.I might consider the e-hybrid as the power is more and the fuel consumption is less based on their figures. I presume the e-hybrid could be more of a synthetic ride though? I would have to test drive both to confirm that!

@PetrolPed 7 лет назад

I've only driven the old shape Panamera eHybrid on track at Porsche Experience Silverstone. I was quite nippy but it didn't really impress me. However, the new one is meant to be really good. If you watch my latest review, the V8 Diesel Cayenne S which has the same engine, my friend who owns the car has got 31mpg avg over the last 4000 miles. Unbelievable for such a big and mindblowingly fast car !!!

@staceymcgrath6971 7 лет назад

Petrol Ped Funnily enough I was looking at the cayenne's yesterday both the 3.0 and the 4.2. Im guessing both of these will have higher fuel consumptions in comparison to the panamera because of the weight. Already test drove the 4.2 and it has brutal power and torque. The performance is great...if you can afford the running costs. I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place as I commute a 350 mile round trip weekly and I think the Cayenne would be too big as I have a fiancé.. a small dog and no kiddies 🙄

@Sweepdog700 6 лет назад

Good review

@PetrolPed 6 лет назад

Thanks Rob, glad you enjoyed it :-)

@symbolicof 7 лет назад

You cant spec massage function with the more adjustable sportier seats. I don't know which I'd prefer. Not that Im in the market for one

@PetrolPed 7 лет назад

I'm afraid I'm not sure. I'd probably go for the sportier seats as they will look cool all the time and I'm not sure how often you would go for a massage !

@seanlovi8798 7 лет назад

@chrismcfarlane8996 Год назад

What's the Audi like. I've been reading about the A8 4.2 TDI.

@TheMusicFan1297 7 лет назад

Great video, I'm just asking myself if you can get your hands on the new E-Class somehow?

@PetrolPed 7 лет назад

TheMusicFan1297 I am working on getting my hands on a Merc 😜

@TheMusicFan1297 7 лет назад

Petrol Ped Oh, since I got a reply from you, one more thing: have you thought about doing POVs?

@PetrolPed 7 лет назад

TheMusicFan1297 Yes 😎 I've just upgraded my camera but next on the purchase list is a pair of Pivot Head Durangos 👍 I'd love to get some POV shots in my vids 😎

@Maj786x 7 лет назад

hi petrol ped..please if possible do a review on the porsche cayenne S Diesel..there seems to be no reviews on it.. ). cheers..

@PetrolPed 7 лет назад

That is very possible as a good friend of mine is about to buy one ! In the mean time have you seen my review of the Cayenne S eHybrid...very impressive. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7wx4puZNQ4k.html

@Maj786x 7 лет назад

that would be brilliant..Thanks..

@JamesPickering 7 лет назад

@OccupiedBot 7 лет назад

The back of the old panamera looks beautiful much better any Mercedes or Audi car

@PetrolPed 7 лет назад

Personal taste I guess !

@alanbutterfield8057 7 лет назад

It's strange back in the day Audi went to Porsche for engine's and now its reversed. I think it was for the early Audi 100 not 100% sure so don't quote me on that. You have raised some good points and food for thought when looking for a new family executive motor car but I feel that BMW, Audi, Merc could be in trouble as the new car just looks fab WOW its a weapon I can't imagine driving the turbo version that will have the 20 seconds bonkers of boost button you will need a G suit and a spare pair of pants for afters....

@PetrolPed 7 лет назад

The Turbo goes round the Nordshleife 3 seconds quicker than the old GT3 !

@antonoat 7 лет назад

I enjoyed the video but I think you should get real, 0-60mph in 4 seconds odd is quick enough for anyone! cheers and I've subscribed by the way. tony

@PetrolPed 7 лет назад

+antonoat Thanks for the Sub Tony. I think 0-60 in anything under 6 is quick 😜

@user-wt2te7mi4i 4 года назад

I like panamera more than Mercedes S and BMW 7 series

@dr.robertippaso214 7 лет назад

I went to test drive a brand new Hybrid 2016 version...and the battery had died so the dealer could not start the car!! A very embarassed salesman!! That's my concern re the Hybrid...will be investigating the 4S petrol instead!!

@PetrolPed 7 лет назад

Oops ! Don't discount the 4S diesel...it's very impressive !

@dr.robertippaso214 7 лет назад

Not available in the US and diesel here is very expoensive even were it.

@jgblende 7 лет назад

I own a 2016 e-Hybrid and the battery being drained should not stop the car from starting. My battery is normally drained to 0, because I live where only street parking is available, and I never have any issues with starting the car. Not sure what was wrong with the one you went to test drive.

@spagboldave 7 лет назад

good quality vid, but a 20 min review of a Panamera .... inject some more fun or reduce the vid time :o)

@PetrolPed 7 лет назад

Good feedback and food for thought. Many thanks :-)

@tmat04 7 лет назад

It's better looking than the previous model. But, I will still choose a Tesla over it.

@kimani34 7 лет назад

I am first to see.

@PetrolPed 7 лет назад

What an ugly-boring car!!

@lildoc 4 года назад

What do you find ugly about it? Just curious because in one of the TOP GEAR episodes, Jeremy Clarkson said the same about this car lol However, if I remember correctly, it was pre-2017 model with the hideous posterior.

@MrDieselakias 4 года назад

lildoc the proportions...
