The 2021 Panamera Turbo S is as Fast as a 3-year old 911 GT3 RS - One Take

The new 2021 Porsche Panamera Turbo S is, unlike the last one, purely petrol-powered. Featuring a 620HP 4.0L TTV8 with all new internals from before, a reprogrammed 8-speed PDK gearbox, and stunningly advanced suspension architecture, this is the fastest and most agile large sedan probably ever built. Running 7 minutes, 29 seconds around the Nurburgring, the Panamera Turbo S, at 4,700+ lbs, is as quck as the current-generation 911 Carrera S, and as the last-generation GT3 RS.

NEW SHIRTS!

Matt, it's not the Urus V8 🙂 "The car uses a quite widely updated version of the ‘EA825’" - "it’s the first car in the group to benefit from the new crankshaft, pistons, conrods, turbos and fuel injection system that Porsche has just fitted to that engine. Why not just shoehorn a more powerful version of the existing V8, such as the one from the Lamborghini Urus or Audi RS6 Avant, into the Turbo S instead? Well, you couldn’t, apparently. The ‘MSB’ platform the Panamera uses has a tighter engine bay than the ‘MLB-Evo’ layout used by the likes of the Urus, Bentayga, Cayenne and RS6, and it also obliges a twin-clutch rather than torque converter automatic transmission."

Wagons are better than SUVs.

Change my mind.

[Guy_de_Loimbard]

I often fast-forward through the opening promo spot. Not this time...

[moflow]

Now i can't stop thinking about how the atmosphere us full of "ball moisture"... 😬

[the-boring-car-guy]

I've been going through a tear of one takes lately and man you've slimmed down loads!

[Rossski]

The wagon version is infinitely sexier

[derbigpr]

Imagine if Porsche made a small sedan, like 3 series sized....man that would be good.

[Guy_de_Loimbard]

I definitely prefer the Sport Turismo to the first generation hatchback, but boy they really nailed the proportions of the hatchback with the second generation. I hope to pick up one used in the next couple of years, and I am genuinely torn between the wagon and the second generation hatchback. I will probably end up with the latter just because of the limited availability of the former.

8:30 Pretty sure that's a gas leak sniffer system hanging off the front of that truck. Probably the gas company doing a routine check

[calebloewen]

videos never do speed justice, and yet this looks fast. I can't imagine how fast it actually is in real life. what an incredible machine!

This car will turn your groceries into a smoothie on the drive home.

Here to show my appreciation for the person who designed that cup holder

[HarkamalAujla]

Watch alot of your videos from the uk. Part of the fun is seeing your weather or roads/scenery .

[richardmahoney]

Love these fast German wagons so glad we get the RS6 and the 2 Porsche hatchbacks

[djpeak]

Bro, those fly by shots are unreal! That thing is

[joecampbell]

Thanks for the review. Been hearing a lot about the car lately, glad to hear from someone who knows how to explain features/benefits.

[angelparedes]

Holy Moly that is freaking heavy. How can it be that fast at the Nurburgring - unbelievable.

[revmedia]

The video starts at 0:00, thank me later!




Much love, your friends at Rev Media!!

What’s crazy is a new C2S is almost as fast as a previous gen GT3RS. Porsche always pushing performance boundaries so much.

Matt, I think the nurburgring time of the 991.1 gt3rs isn't set by Porsche, it's set by a journalist. If you look at .2 gt3rs (yes .2 is better but it's slight improvement) 991.2 gt3rs is a sub 7 min car. But great video thou. If we look at 991.1 3RS on Laguna Seca, it did 1:33 there ( 1 s faster than a 570s ).
