Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo - Is it For Me? | TEST DRIVE 

Could the Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo be a car for me? There's something very special about a really fast estate, especially when it packs the punch that this does. Join me for a walkaround and test drive to see what it's like.

Beautiful exterior,great interior and outstanding performance. Just Porsche.. 🔥

Shmee I don't say that Porsche Panamera sport turismo is not good it's a very good car but I just want to see you driving that v12 symphony gtc4lusso

My guess is that you will wait for a reasonably priced V12 GTC4 Lusso. I think you miss the sound of that engine too much. But I might be wrong. Panamera is a great option too.

The Hybrid version might have 130hp more, but it also weighs a shade under 400kgs more, which goes a long way to offsetting that extra power, as well as having a negative impact on handling, braking and luggage capacity. I'd stick with the standard turbo and if need be take it to an acceptable tuner if the need (want) for more power arose. In fact the hybrid only has 10kw per ton more than the standard car so that's not great. (198kw/ton vs 208kw/ton)

I don't just want to hear your opinions and some driving footage, I want to hear the car. The Porsche V8's sounds amazing, yet no one seems to notice.

SHMEE THE DIESEL WAS ALSO A V8 NOT A V6, EASY MISTAKE BUT YOU KNOW MORE THAN ME, IF I WAS YOU I WOULD GET THE 680BHP TURBO HYBRID VERSION

I prefer ferrari gtc4lusso always

Is the 680hp of the hybrid peak or combined power??...... so is the motor used to torque fill the combustion engine effectively never seeing the full 680hp of the two at the same time or is the electric motor going through the gear box effectively keeping the electric motor in it's sweet spot making the two motors peak output at the same time?? What i'm trying to say is if you dyno'd the e-hybrid would you get the similar power (Peak) as the V8 Sport just with much better low-mid range power??

In my point of view the Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo is the most beautiful and sporty estate you can purchase on the market!! The inside-concept seems to be very versatile for such a sports car! Why not ? The silhouette looks so elegant and sharp 😘 In my opinion the Sport Turismo GTS is the best version of the Panamera when the car is available 😍 And yes, it is the perfect car for you SHMEE :)

is it just me, or does everyone love the stitching over the binnacle?! #smallthings

I‘d love a Panamera Turbo added to your garage! Personally I don‘t like the sport tourismo though 😉 And it needs black wheels for sure... I don‘t understand anyone not speccing black wheels. It is one of the cheapest details that make the car look ALOT more sporty

Everything other than them wheels! 😂 one of my favourite cars. Love the content Shmee.

The best looking panamera by far

That navigation was loading forever!

Gear looking car. Bear in mind it’s probably half the price of a GTC4 it’s a great ‘practical’ car. Think it would be a great addition to your fleet.

Shmee! I love ur gt3 spec!!!!!

This car is amazing. But Tim should do a comparison with this and the V8 GT4Lusso! Great video.

Don’t like the car it’s ugly

Yes Thank God I will buy one for myself

how about the amge63 600 bhp 0 to 62 3.5

What about the amg e63s wagon ???

Those wheels really kill it for me

What about the 2018 Mercedes AMG E63 Wagon with 603 horsepower ?

Buy a E63s my man:D

Good review and awesome car! BTW the Panamera S diesel is a 4.0l V8 not a V6.

I think this is a really cool car, but although very different to your upcoming gt3 which is amazing btw, i think having two porches may spoil that special appeal you have of having a car each of a different brand (excluding any focus rs's) the ff is a hard act to follow, and i know you've said ferraris are expensive, but just seeing how much fun you've had in them previously and especially the ff when you came back to it after a while. the v12 is something else. the gtc4 looks ace, but maybe wait to see if there are any special editions?. anyway thanks again for the great content Tim :)

#Shquad :) Not really looked at these much in the past but having watched this, I actually quite like it. Would seem a very practical daily driver :) Thanks Tim :D

I feel like it would be a great replacement for the FF. I think you should buy this one first and then save up for the GTC4 lusso or wait until they drop in price.

I don´t feel confident with this kind of cars. I mean, is like a 911 wiith steroids. Could you get inside your family and a lot of luggages for a very long trip? Do you think this car is realiable for this use? Thank your for the video!!!

Shmee , great video as well , the panamera is a great car for you , but if you think about it , you have a lot of v8 cars , so if i were you i would go for the gt4lusso instead , i know it is significantly more expensive, but there is something about the N/A Ferrari V12 , you know

YIKES....Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio every day of the week and twice on Sunday over this Glorified VW....NEXT .....

Thanks for the review! If one was comparing a preowned FF vs. this car (and ignoring the newer electronic gadgetry available on the Porsche), what would you say are the relative strengths and drawbacks?

Surely the next closest thing would be the Mercedes E63s estate

It looks like a very good car but I can't help thinking that a lot of that tech is just unnecessary and won't get used. Great video Tim!

Get the Hybrid version 🖤🖤

You're missing out the Mercedes E63s, faster and better looking than the panamera

Sorry to say but you've been talking about the panamera several times but your not gonna buy it anyway. Especially since the Ferrari FF or GTC4Lusso is such a different car. Just wait and go for a nice second hand GTC4Lusso

A M G E63s wagon is way more aggressive looking.. and 7:42 on the Nurburgring the fastest wagon ever..... For less money.....

If I had the Money , I would buy myself this Car , with the strongest Engine and Full Option .Its such a Beauty to me .. Large and Muscular..Mega Wheel Arches, I Love it .Its even nicer then the normal Panamera to me. Off cpurse this Car and Design isnt for everybody .. Most People would take something else , especially for that Money .Is it for you this Car? Hm... I rather see you more in Typicall Elegant very fast Sport/ Hyper Cars ;)

I think the AMG E63s Wagon beats this for tech, performance and ‘cool’ factor plus even more usable as a daily.

If ur gonna get one...might as well go for the turbo s e hybrid....

Mark my words, they'll raise the ride height 0.1 of an inch, slap on some tacky body cladding and sell it in the US as the Porshe active lifestyle crossover. Why?????!!!! Just buy a explorer if you. want a good suv.

Did you see the ABT RS6 Nogaro Blue? I know it's limited and probably sold, BUT IT HAVE 705 HP AND IT'S NOGARO BLUE!!!!!!

By far the best looking Panamera to date. I will never understand the fascination with carbon fiber as a trim though. I get that bikes, cars etc. made from carbon fiber have a significant weight advantage over the ones made from metal, but as a trim it just looks cheap to me. I obviously know that it isn't actually a cheap product but I mean sort of like chrome. It just gives things a flashy "Ohh look at me, that's carbon/chrome!" almost trashy "wannabe racer look". Whether or not people prefer leather, wood, alcantara or whatever, I think everyone can see why someone might like the other types of trim. It just looks luxurious and well made (assuming it's done right of course), but carbon fiber just doesn't. It's a fiber material like glass fiber painted with clear lacquer... Imagine someone using lacquered glass fiber as a fucking trim. It's not luxurious even though glass fiber is also pretty light weight and could do the exact same job as a trim as carbon fiber.

Little sidenote at 9:05 . In Germany you don't touch the lever of your indicator at all if you driving into a roundabout. Only when driving out of it.;-)

In your opening spiel - no mention of Audi rs6 - odd? But you reference a bmw 7 series!?? The Audi is the better sports estate ...... just saying. It makes your review anemic without the Audi reference??

Yellow calipers are so ugly that it ruined the look, no matter which wheel are installed on. Car is blue and calipers are yellow. What kind of art is this?

The wheels look like they came from an old cayenne! The are awfull

I don't like all porches new headlights, four stripes, looks really bad, like they had no ideas what to do, but rear lights are good looking and all back look

Panamera Turbo Hybrid might be the best "automotive package" there is in the whole industry.. Just dont buy it blue, looks already weak in the regular turbo..not a reputation needed for the electical assisted engine.

How is it better to adjust where the air goes by clicking through a touchscreen? How am I supposed to do that while I am driving? Why should I be explaining to everyone how to adjust where the air goes? I realize these things are there to make people who buy the car feel special. But to me, it would just make me feel stupid... Its like the electric tail gates, I love seeing people standing like dildos waiting forever for it to open while its raining. Cant believe the feeling of elevated social status (hey I have a gizmo everyone) is to some people worth all the hustle with pointless features like these

Well you would then have two Porsches and none Ferraris or V12s for that matter so a used low mileage GTC4Lusso or if you want the V8 then GTC4Lusso T would be maybe a better choice than the Panamera, at least for me

Porsche always equip the panamera with new features very clever.

Man, it's too big for you, It's better the GTC4 Lusso for you, this is ok if you have kids and a dog, the Ferrari fits better for you, V8 Turbo version to cruise aorund Europe is perfect.

The touch sensor buttons are a massive fail on all new Porsche’s. You can’t find them when driving! Bring back switches. New Pan tourer looks lovely.

Hey schmee 150 ,,,sir u got so many cars plz plz plz can u gift porche gt 3 manual right hand drive,,,ha haha great fan watched almost all ur video

Personally I like regular panamera more than the sport turismo one

i like porsches and this car is awesome BUT its no v12 screaming machine. just lack the "wow" factor compared to the f12 or the lusso.

We all know that it doesn't matter what you look at.. the GTC4Lusso in blue, with the V12, is the only choice on the market that will suit you.. and us.

I prefer a car where I can just move the ventilators blindly by touch, rather than go into some touch screen menu right above it... Cars turn into computers too much :'-(

u mnie w klasie byl kolega co mial ksywe "karpiu" i po swietach nie pojawil sie w szkole i sie okazalo ze ktos go opierdolil :(

This is one car that has never excited me, even though I love Porsche’s. I don’t know what it is but there’s just something about the Panamera. Nice video though, as always.

shmee, in Germany you don't have to blink left, if you drive in the circle, just blink right if you drive out :)

I rather enjoyed my Brother’s last gen GTS as the best daily around. I say wait for the GTS variant of the Sport Turismo !

Those wheels 😬😬

Thanks Tim! you helped with knowing about the hatch end of this car!!! Cheers to you too!!!

If you want range get the diesel. If you want the power get the turbo e hybrid

Hey Shmee just a quick tip. You do not have to indicate when you are entering a roundabout traffic. Only while leaving (in Germany obviously. 😋)

2 clocks are kind of redundant. Should maybe have a boost gauge or something configurable there instead.

Hmmm, calling a 550 HP Car ....."reliable" doesn't really hit the point, does it ?!?

The bootspace is very disappointing, the space created by the different shape in the back isn’t used properly. Also the wheelarches take up a ton of space.

Shmee, please tell Porsche to bring the Sport Turismo to North America. We are loaded with SUV here and really need some wagons!

Though it is good but it doesn't have the V12 glory which the FF and GTC4Lusso have

no douht the gtc4 is a better car .Its faster , lighter , better looking , sounds better has a nicer interior etc but the panamera is a really nice car and the ferrari is expensive .. what do you choose ? (even compered to the turbo s)

Don't flash the indicator on a german roundabout traffic to the left. ;-) Only flash right if you exit the circle.

Do you even #shquad fam? As always great vid. Cheers!

Your face tells the story. You don't look as excited as you did in the Lusso. Just wait until you find that Lusso at a smart used price. Great channel as always.

How is he able to wear shirt everyday?i mean it's uncomfortable, inconvenient, you need to iron it etc.also considering he's moving all the time.

Such a big step ahead from the previous Gen , Just Porsche!

You must own this car!

Before people start to go crazy in the comments about the wheels, if you actuallty listen to what Tim says its just the winter tires, the summer tires are the 20s sport wheels

For sure get this car if you aren’t going to get the gtc4 lusso. Porsche have done a great job with this sport turismo it looks epic!!

I would go for an RS6 or an E63. The back just looks weird.

Dont buy, 50000 miles, new engine new brakes are 15000 euro...bullshit car

17:08 was the moment you realized you don't like that car. You look bored

Tim, how about the AMG E63? Check Doug DeMuero's review on that...

That is a seriously UGLY car.

Buying the Porsche over the Ferrari version will get you another step closer to a Hyper car mate. Its a win, win!

whatever camera/camera lens you are using in this video inside the car facing you... ditch it. its distorts too much.

Don't you prefer a good S class? With all the good equipment and everything (AMG...). Hi from Spain 🙋🙂

Happy #ValentinesDay Shquad ! Late shquadme hi Tim

I think the normal panamera looks way better especially with the expanding spoiler and of course I prefer the panamera turbo s e hybrid the electric support gives it that extra performance it needs.

shmee, do what you want but don't buy the station Panamera just buy a normal Panamera turbo hybrid they look better

Great car but im not sure if its better than an e63 in any way. Also a v12 ferrari would be nicer just for the engine

That camera next to your head does not look safe. If somehow you get into an accident you're screwed.

Before watch this video, I don't think that wheels makes a difference, but it's do!

The panamera turbo s e hybrid vs the RS6....ultimate face-off

I would prefer you wait for the bmw 8 series or m8 instead of buying another porsche.

Cars today are becoming playstations with wheels....
