The 2012 Porsche Panamera Turbo S has two turbos, 550HP, and AWD. It has launch control. It reaches 60MPH in 3.3 seconds and can go 190MPH. It also costs $190,000.
To find out if it's worth it, Matt Farah drives it to Yosemite National Park, accidentally finding roads better than most race tracks. Then he drives to the El Mirage dry lake bed, to find out just how fast it will go.

Even in 2022, this car was built ahead of it time, in regards to performance. It’s insane what that PDK and tune does to a car almost 10 years old

@paulzografos4530 9 лет назад

I dont know what it is about these things but theyre always ugly in pictures and WAY nicer in person.

@NikoBell12 9 лет назад

Paul Zografos Agreed. Don't know why they look so bad in pictures/videos. Almost every new Lexus suffers from the same thing as well, ugly on the net but beautiful in person.

@sperlongatours 9 лет назад

Paul Zografos because they all use a stupid Fish eye lense, its soo stupid

@sperlongatours 9 лет назад

NikoBell12 its the fish eye lenses that make them ugly

@charleschenhua 5 лет назад

I think it looks ugly both ways. IMO

@Pilinchi1 4 года назад

They were hideous when they came out and lately I fell in love with the car lines. They still look bad in pictures though, lol.

This is a show produced in America, with an American host, an American crew, and an audience that (according to RU-vid) is nearly 90% based in North America. We only have access to US spec cars in the press fleets, therefore many cars that you're used to seeing I have never once even seen in person. You're choosing to watch an American show vs. a European show, so it's actually self centered of you to expect I would cater to your market, instead of you, the viewer, adapting to the cars we test.

We make three videos a month for Drive, and when season 2 of Tuned starts on July 1st, we will have a dozen films in as many weeks. We're busy making videos, it's a full time job. Just not all of them are posted here. Make sure to follow us on Facebook so you don't miss out.

That car is rediculously unphotogenic. It actually looks good irl though

@AKarnold1010 8 лет назад

This video pretty much delivered all of my favorite aspects of a youtube video. Saw some awesome scenery, gave me some great information, and showed me the performance of badass product :standing applause. Well done, Matt. You rock buddy and I am incredibly jealous of your foxbody. Please give me a ride through Mulholland

Some really good writing here Matt. Great style all those years ago. Timeless.

@TheSmokingTire 12 лет назад

get cars wherever you can get them. I didn't get my first press car until almost a year into making videos. That's part of the hustle of this job.

@TheSmokingTire 11 лет назад

If you follow me on Twitter and Facebook, you know where we will be and when. I'll be at Willow Springs on the 29th testing some Carbon Rims on a GT3 and the SLS GT AMG.

@ConcreteRapztyleProd 11 лет назад

This has to be the best filmed and executed car review i've ever seen. Not only is it goddamn picture perfect, the scenes and cuts in this one is ridiculously good looking. But, also Matt being so emotional about this car makes the review amazing. I am far from having the kind of cash to get one of these beauties, but Matt almost had me taking a loan for it! haha. Thanks for yet another great clip.

@Olsfen1 11 лет назад

I've actually been to El Mirage just because of this video. I was doing a road trip in California when I saw a small sign for El Mirage and remembered it. We did 120 with a rented FX 37. Thank you Matt Farah.

@601geminijets 11 лет назад

Was this one of your favorite drives ever? I absolutely love this review. It just works. Awesome job!

@TheSmokingTire 11 лет назад

It's not sand really. It's very hard packed so when you're driving on it, it feels just like concrete just with a very fine layer of dust on top of it. If you're trying to get maximum grip in a corner its not exactly ideal, but for going straight it feels as if you're driving on tarmac.

@frakkintoaster 9 лет назад

Just bought one. Thanks for the nudge, Matt. :)

@frakkintoaster 9 лет назад

Nik Brudar Thanks Nik. It arrives tomorrow. Excited. :)

@frakkintoaster 9 лет назад

Nik Brudar Just got it. It's white. Too many options to list here, but it has ceramics, Burmester, sport exhaust, carbon fiber interior, sport wheel, LED headlights, adaptive cruise, 4-zone climate, and more. :)

@frakkintoaster 9 лет назад

Nik Brudar Thanks Nik. So far, I'm really enjoying it. I'm coming from a 911 Turbo S though. That's a whole different animal! :)

@frakkintoaster 9 лет назад

Nik Brudar I've had the 911 for 8 years. I absolutely LOVE it. It's an amazing car, it performs incredibly, and it's so reliable too. But I just needed a change. I'm almost 50, I have back injuries, and the Panamera gives me the best of both worlds: performance and comfort. But the jury is still out. I've only owned the Panny for two days now. I might end up going back to a 911. We shall see.

@601geminijets 9 лет назад

frakkintoaster I just bought a 2015 Panamera 4S and I'm coming from a 2011 Panamera 4 lol (put 40k miles on her from new!) The upgrade in 120 HP is crazy to me, but the fuel economy is crappier :( I have a 2014 E 63 AMG S as my "super" car so I just slightly upgraded the Panamera and I love it. How do you like your Panamera after a month?

@TheSmokingTire 12 лет назад

if pure fast is what you're going for, then I'd have to agree with you, however a CTS-V will never get off the line like this thing can without full-on slicks. The real difference is in everything else. From the room, to the build quality, the materials, and the fact that you can custom order practically every part of the car, not to mention ceramic brakes and AWD, the Porsche is hands down the better car, although you pay for it.

@TheSmokingTire 12 лет назад

they are called Dillon Optics, and you can get them via the link on our website.

@TheSmokingTire 12 лет назад

We filmed the Scion FR-S last week for my segment on G4's "Attack of the Show." It will air in a couple weeks and we will post the video the next day on our web site. Lots of drifting!

@TheSmokingTire 11 лет назад

more like we used the same gauge shot twice. Watch Top Gear's Veyron vs. James's Plane race. Every time Jeremy hits the gas (while driving from Italy to the UK) the odometer shows the same number.

@angelreborn1283 7 лет назад

Sir, what advantages does this automobile have over say, a locomotive, which I could also afford?

@TheSmokingTire 12 лет назад

Just do it. Look where I'm at, consider that I started the show myself with Tom Morningstar (we're partners) as a cameraman and editor, and take the steps you need to take to get there.

@TheSmokingTire 12 лет назад

We just filmed our Scion FRS review, which is more-or-less the same as the BRZ, for Attack of the Show on G4 TV. After it airs, we will post the video on our website, so check back there for it.

@TheSmokingTire 11 лет назад

The Turbo S comes with different turbos and lots of hardware that doesn't come with the Turbo, and many things that are optional on the Turbo are standard on the S. It's more than just a tune and a couple tweaks.

@TheSmokingTire 12 лет назад

I'm the guy who said it. The Panamera Turbo S has 16 less HP, weighs 300 lb more, and hits 60 mph 6/10 of a second faster than the CTS-V. The V is a great car, but in a drag race, the Porsche's AWD and launch control will give a massive advantage unless you crank up the grip on the V with sticky rear tires.

@GKTV1 3 года назад

you can't fit a Flat six in the front-engined configuration.

@TheSmokingTire 12 лет назад

yes, it premieres July 9th.

@Morphasella 12 лет назад

I looove this. A creative automotive channel. Put some storyline, visiting a fire like waterfall, laymen language. Ignore guideline, ignore rules, follow your heart Matt, this is a good show!

@TheSmokingTire 12 лет назад

There are plenty of larger, affordable performance cars for tall guys. The Corvette, Mustang, CTS-V, SRT-8 range, etc, all are great for tall drivers. And for the record, I used nearly every feature in the Panamera over the course of my week with the car.

@TheSmokingTire 12 лет назад

the camera was mounted on the exterior of the car so all you get is wind noise anyway

@TheSmokingTire 11 лет назад

There are very few rules at El Mirage, one of them is no drifting on the lakebed. It will cut ruts into it that could easily flip another car that's going a high speed.

@ToxicWareProductions 11 лет назад

My father just bought one three days ago in 'Amethyst Metallic'.. fully loaded and all. One of the best cars I have ever driven.

@TheStallion234 12 лет назад

Matt, I think its great you still respond to user comments on here. You're the man.

@TheSmokingTire 12 лет назад

The V1 is extremely effective, the best of all radar detectors. But of course it only works if the cop is actually using radar to catch you. There are all kinds of ways for a cop to tell if you're speeding, and if he uses another one (pacing, laser, instant-on) then it won't be much help. Fortunately most cops are lazy and leave their radar guns all the time, in which case it works great.

@clown6tee 11 лет назад

I'm a Brit, I just LOVE this guys style - great entertainment. Top work.

@Logicalification 12 лет назад

You are a smart, decent person. You will go far in life.

@TheSmokingTire 12 лет назад

No, it's for always. I never, ever get into a car without my V1. The cops are everywhere with advanced tools looking to catch you doing anything in order to raise revenue for their states (not ensure safety). We have tools that can be legally used to tell us where they are. Why would we not use them at every possible opportunity?

@rainmaker_superb 12 лет назад

These reviews get more and more professional as you go, good stuff.

@derbigpr500 12 лет назад

Its quite remarkable actually that this is the second fastest luxury car on the market today after the M5 F10. It weighs almost 2150kg's, can accommodate 4 passengers in highest possible luxury, and can carry loads of luggage, even your fridge or a bedroom closet if needed. It can cruise at extremely high speeds with highest level of comfort, refinement and safety, yet, it will do 0-100km/h in just over 3 seconds, and hit 300 km/h in 40 seconds (24 seconds before CTS-V for example).

@robertbidochon7949 10 лет назад

Matt, your reviews are perfect!! continue to entertain us, please?

@Markley92 11 лет назад

Beautiful car... Awesome review and video. This is what RU-vid was made for.

@TheSmokingTire 12 лет назад

Chris Harris is (as of now) the only person who does new car reviews on Drive. We do modified cars on Drive, and we do new (stock) cars here.

@TheSmokingTire 12 лет назад

They don't drive the same, not remotely. The E200 Mercedes has a different steering wheel and different seats, with different materials than the AMG model. The Panamera does not. Sit in them both with your eyes closed, and you can't tell the difference.

@TheSmokingTire 12 лет назад

The CTS-V wagon will not satisfy someone who is used to driving $100,000 cars. The performance is there, but the interior isn't up to snuff for the veteran luxury buyer.

@EiffelTower1818 11 лет назад

Fast Forward the video to 7:31 to 7:34 and look what goes through the sky, No one has seen it, no has noticed it yet.

@Xmvw2X 12 лет назад

5:20 - This is what stiff bushings give you. Most cars have super squishy rubber bits throughout and really disconnect everything from the driver. It is crazy how direct, and connected the car can be to the driver and the driver to the road when these parts are much firmer or of solid/bearing type.

@TheSmokingTire 12 лет назад

The FF can actually fit 4 people, though the people in the back seat had better be small as hell. I can't fit back there for anything, whereas the Panamera's back seat is so good you could use it as a chauffeur's car.

@TheSmokingTire 12 лет назад

I'm saying a Porsche flat six. The engine bay isn't designed to accomodate a flat engine, it's designed to accomodate a V shaped engine. Plus, the Porsche flat six is quite a bit bigger, physically, than the Subaru flat Six. Also, the Subaru H6 is a terrible engine.

@TheSmokingTire 12 лет назад

Lexus LS430. Best used luxury car money can buy.

@derbigpr500 12 лет назад

And just to mention, it will go around Nurburgring in 7:52. (although its not relevant since we're talking about a road car). It might not be the prettiest car on the market, but it sure as hell is one of most impressive cars ever made in terms of engineering and technology.

@TheSmokingTire 12 лет назад

We shot it in February. We were busy with Tuned, Big Muscle, Ride Apart, etc.

@TheSmokingTire 12 лет назад

that's quite true about the exhaust, but most people wouldn't know that, which is why I said it would take a connoisseur or enthusiast to know the difference. The panamera is significantly faster than the CLS63

@TheSmokingTire 12 лет назад

Neither is remotely as fast, the Rapide is $40k more, and the Quattroporte is a maintenance nightmare, not to mention one of the worst depreciating cars money can buy.

@TheSmokingTire 12 лет назад

Yeah, watch what happens when your $80,000, used, non-warranty breaks down. All of a sudden it's a $120,000 used, non-warranty Bentley. Service and parts are ludicrously expensive for those cars. A replacement engine costs $80,000.

@CJAEY 12 лет назад

People say it's ugly but I like it, hell everytime I see one. Turbo or not it breaks my neck.

@TheSmokingTire 12 лет назад

no bullrun. Doctor recommends against road rallies. Of course, that didn't stop me from doing the One Lap of America race this year, which is way more fun than Bullrun.

@TheSmokingTire 12 лет назад

If I'm spending my own money, probably CLS63. It's got more of an attitude, an angry exhaust note, and fantastic massage seats. With the $70k you save you can buy a hell of a weekend track car.

@TheSmokingTire 12 лет назад

No, there is no RS6 available in the US since the last-generation (2003) model.

@Logicalification 12 лет назад

Oh, is the ZR1 coming with turbos now? And I wasn't aware they had made that change, but since they have, your comment makes total sense. Comparing a modified ZR1 to a stock Panamera Turbo S makes perfect sense.

@Running1320 11 лет назад

@TheSmokingTire 12 лет назад

It has parking sensors, just not a backup camera.

@winsto2230 10 лет назад

Break in periods on turbos will burn oil until the pistons "Seat" and this is a press car...My 650I had to have oil every month until the turbo break in period ended and now it is fine. That's why I have ordered a Panny Turbo S!

@metalfreaxxx 12 лет назад

05:50 hey Matt,your "pffffffbbttthhh" sounds better than the exhaust note itself,LOL

@DEMediaDrive 11 лет назад

If you are looking at the front of the car, you can tell the V6 apart from the Turbo and Turbo S by the front LEDs. The Turbo and Turbo S has wireframe front LEDs, they look much better.

@TheSmokingTire 12 лет назад

you can't get a nice sports car for $5,000. You can get a cheap car that happens to be fun to drive, like a Miata, or maybe an old AE86 or GTI, or a beat up Porsche 944, but that's about it.

@TheSmokingTire 11 лет назад

The V10 powered BMW M cars are among the worst oil burners I've ever seen. At Gotham Dream Cars, our M6 burns through a quart about every 750.

@jonesjonz1 11 лет назад

VW should buy Fisker and put the Karma's skin on this thing, that would be the ultimate sedan. The interior is a nice place to be, a great engineering feat none the less. It should be time for a redesign premier really soon.

@225TTuned 9 лет назад

Really well done video. Actually have a reason to road trip to Yellowstone now!

@TheSmokingTire 11 лет назад

because different cars serve different purposes: the CTS-V is a midsize car; the Panamera a full size. If you need back seat room, the CTS-V will not do. The GTR is a 2-door car; not even the same class as the Panamera.

@cojo139 12 лет назад

TST just keeps getting better and better.

@derbigpr500 12 лет назад

If I remember correctly, the CTS (normal V6 version) which I test drove in 2011 had rattles inside when it was almost brand new. It uses to many components in interior from much cheaper GM cars. It uses too much fake materials inside. Everything that looks like chrome, is plastic. What looks like wood, its plastic. What looks like leather on dash, its plastic. What looks like aluminum on dash, its plastic. But its fine, its not that expensive of a car, so you can't expect premium quality.

@jean_carlos_shells 3 года назад

Still one of the greatest cars I’m collecting mine for when the prices go back up 💪

@TheSmokingTire 12 лет назад

The Bentley is an excellent car, but realistically transaction prices on it are about $50k higher than the Panamera Turbo S. And the Panamera drives much better, though won't make as much of a statement at the club.

@deezznts 11 лет назад

Very well produced video. With the Farrah narration, the subtle music in the background and the videography, just a brilliant video about the Panamera. I want to like the Panamera sooooo much. It's just the most awkward looking car ever. The interior and motor are amazing though. Cheers.

@spacecadet.tx11 12 лет назад

"apparently you can't do launch mode with the vehicle in park".................Nice one!

@Marks_Piano 11 лет назад

Maybe it is because in the us there is different gas than in Europe.. We all use like 95 or 98 octane unleaded... Don't know but maybe that's why it is burnin oil.. Would be really stupid of Porsche though not to set the car for us than...

Thanks again bro!

@TheSmokingTire 12 лет назад

Not in the US, where that car isn't sold.

@TheSmokingTire 12 лет назад

Other options in Europe maybe, but here only the CLS63 and E63 estate are available, and neither competes with the Panamera. The Panamera competes with the S63
