Can this 520 hp supercar actually be practical? Could this be a great family car? I review some great features, even install a baby seat, test the fuel economy and discover that this may be the ultimate daily driver.
Thanks Sweetford4x4. It really is an unbelievable car. It's gonna be pretty hard to top this one. If I had the $$$, I would seriously consider this as an everyday driver. Oh and my daughter really did love it.
I drive the Panamera Turbo S and I don't consider myself a Bastard Daniel I just consider myself Damn lucky! I drive a "triple" Black edition and his name is Darth Vader...and he is. Work hard...have fun later! I'm 67 and have had my hands on a few wheels in my life and Porsche is my Apex. God Bless you
I Love These Practical Reviews :D When it comes to these kind of cars, Performance figures are "irreverent" because they're obviously fast vehicles, but it's about how they work in the real world :)
Nice review. This is the next car on my hit list. I sort of wish you would have sat in the back seat and shown how much room there was back there. I'm specifically looking for long wheel base nice hp vehicles so this along with the Audi RS7 is at the top of my list. Of course if Lexus ever comes out with their long wheelbase LS 460 vehicle with 500 horsepower I'll consider that
Love Brian's reviews. His honesty. But, this time I have to disagree about how it's better to have "more buttons". The more buttons the harder it is to find while driving suddenly. Which makes a dial a great idea IMHO. Or better yet to put the display screen behind the steering wheel next to the tach or spedo... Then there's the "practicality" aspect. For ME, i've never understood the benefit of a sedan (vs a SUV or vs. sports car). For me in an ideal world ($$$$$$) I'd have a Land Rover Discoov and a Porsche 911 C2S or C4s Cabrio or my dream car...the Ferrari 488: SUV (everyday driver) sports car (weekend/evening drives). Keep the videos coming!! Like he hear your opinion on the Ferrari 488 GTB.
John Boyt It would all depend on where you live and your insurance company. In Western Canada, with a clean record it would cost about $2500-$3000 per year.
Somebody needs to explain this to me, why do people in the US want cars with 500+ HP? In germany i'd understand it, but why when you can't go over 80mph? Is it just for the sake oft having it...?
Because we can. Enjoy it while it's available in our lifetime. A day will come when they outlaw driving with some b.s. motor law and you'll be lead around like cattle in self driving cars.
+FY Y Just happened to be by the computer. I've driven the new S Class but not the S65 AMG. The S would be better if you have a driver but if you are the driver, I'd say its pretty hard to beat the handling of this Panamera Turbo. Its a great blend of luxury and performance and definitely a very very capable car.
It's such a good car but it only has one problem... IT'S SO FUCKING UGLY! Just make it grancoupe like the Fisker Karma and the aston martin Rapide! but not this strange hatchback-shootingbrake thing with a roof line that's bound on random places downwards!
+ExplodingFireworks LOL. Fisker Karma is hands down the nicest looking sedan on the planet (even with the cheshire cat grill). But if you see the Panamera in person with the right color (IE White) with the right rims (IE Turbo II forged wheels like on this one in the video), it actually looks awesome. I bought one and people actually take cell phone pics of it while I'm driving it down the highway. Last time that happened was in my Ferrari 360 no joke! It looks very exotic for being a sedan.
+andy993 ik it looks outstanding and it gets attention but that doesnt make it look good... the only panamera i kinda like is the facelift turbo s executive(/exclusive edition) in gold because of its yellow claws, nice..k color
Its a dream to drive. So much torque, perfect amount of power, and an amazing and comfortable ride. I do agree with you on the looks but to be honest, after a while, it kinda grows on you and I guess you begin to appreciate that its unique instead of ugly.
