Porsche Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo review | A practical 541bhp V8? | Autocar

Porsche invited us to Vancouver Island, Canada, for our first test drive of the 541bhp Turbo version: a car capable of 62mph in just 3.8sec, costing a whisker less than £120,000. So is this the fast estate car made extra-special - or just the Panamera perfected?

I hate Panameras, but I love this. This is a corrected Panamera. It looks like something SAAB may have designed if GM hadn't murdered them, and that gives me fond feelings.

This is how it should have looked from the start. Looks SO much better than the original shape. That rear end, looking at it from the side, is SO goodlooking. Mr Reviewer said what needs to be said. The car has already been reviewed. This is all about the new shape.

@1:28~1:31 top speed at almost 290 mph?

My mind says "Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo Turbo S E-Hybrid" ( shit, what a long name )

[vishwa]

Given this guy to reveiw a Mercedes S class he would make you feel like it's some cheap sedan
what a talent !

[Emilioh]

Love the honesty of this guy. I really agree with what he says

[evangantley]

Never thought I'd say this but I want this so bad, it's literally the ultimate all rounder and it looks glorious in that colour

[jum.]

Whats that song playing when the video begins ?

[EduardoFCSantos]

Such a boring review about an awesome and very desirable car. This Porsche deserves better

[mornadu]

Please Steve Sutcliffe or dont bother. Nothing against this guy ofcourse.. He's fine, but we need Steve.

[willywillywillywillywilly]

Porsche: perfectly judged dynamic compromises.

[bnrvs]

Euro plates in Canada? Someone explain!

[pootube]

Good review Saunders, your point about the desirability is right on.

[jamiep]

Great Video Review of one of my favorite Porsche Models

[CarToneHK]

AUTOCAR, it has become a norm for review videos to spank the car fast while talking, not just talking about the car for the entire length of the video

[dieseldoesthings]

Oh my god man. FLOOR IT!! Youre in a panamera turbo and this is all we get? What a waste and ultra boring "review".

[RodQTNZ]

Was hoping to get a compare to RS6 plus which is way cheaper and at least try sitting in the middle +1 seat.

[jamiep]

Great Video Review. I particularly like the Colour and the Style and Design are great as well

[elmuerko]

I completely agree with your opinion of the looks and if/when to buy one, but one problem is the price, a decent spec is over 100k and for that money there's a lot of other options.

Air suspension giving a sense of connection to the road? I don't think that's its purpose. It's purpose is to give a better ride, one which hopefully disconnects you from the road.
