Question for the Porsche nerds… does Panamera Turbo indeed make only 550hp??? Because this car is ridiculously fast.
Prior to this review, I always kinda looked down at them: I thought they were strange looking (PTSD after the first gen), confused about their identity, and not that great of a car. But after making this full review (video live on AccentOnCars YouTube channel) here’s what I think: it’s more of a sports car than a luxury. The interior is luxurious, don’t get me wrong, but it’s not up to par with the S63 coupe or BMW 8. But it’s definitely sportier and faster than both of them. At this stage of my life, as someone who prefers sporty handling and giggles per mile over comfort, I would buy the Panamera over S63. Given their excellent reliability and depreciation, the 2nd gen Panamera Turbo is such a bargain right now.
