Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo - Is it For Me? | TEST DRIVE

It's time to experience the Porsche Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo! Yes, it carries a very long name, and yes it's very similar to my recently sold car that was also blue, sporty and estate-like, but let's take a walkaround of the new Panamera model and then find out what it's like to drive. Do you think this should be a car for me?

Porsche have expanded the Panamera line-up to now include the Sport Turismo model alongside the regular car. Available in a number of engine configurations up to and including the 680PS Turbo S e-Hybrid, but here explored in 550PS 'Turbo' form. The car in question is highly specced but weather winter wheels and tyres as opposed to the regular larger Turbo style option as normal.

Having picked it up in Zuffenhausen, Stuttgart, let's head out to the local roads to explore and get to grips with the new luxury car.

Thanks for watching, Tim

Could the Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo be a car for me? There's something very special about a really fast estate, especially when it packs the punch that this does. Join me for a walkaround and test drive to see what it's like.

Beautiful exterior, great interior and outstanding performance. Just Porsche.. 🔥

My guess is that you will wait for a reasonably priced V12 GTC4 Lusso. I think you miss the sound of that engine too much. But I might be wrong. Panamera is a great option too.

The Hybrid version might have 130hp more, but it also weighs a shade under 400kgs more, which goes a long way to offsetting that extra power, as well as having a negative impact on handling, braking and luggage capacity. I'd stick with the standard turbo and if need be take it to an acceptable tuner if the need (want) for more power arose. In fact the hybrid only has 10kw per ton more than the standard car so that's not great. (198kw/ton vs 208kw/ton)

Shmee I don't say that Porsche Panamera sport turismo is not good it's a very good car but I just want to see you driving that v12 symphony gtc4lusso

This is one car that has never excited me, even though I love Porsche’s. I don’t know what it is but there’s just something about the Panamera. Nice video though, as always.

[nathanscott]

For sure get this car if you aren’t going to get the gtc4 lusso. Porsche have done a great job with this sport turismo it looks epic!!

I‘d love a Panamera Turbo added to your garage!
Personally I don‘t like the sport tourismo though 😉 And it needs black wheels for sure... I don‘t understand anyone not speccing black wheels. It is one of the cheapest details that make the car look ALOT more sporty

Thanks Tim! you helped with knowing about the hatch end of this car!!! Cheers to you too!!!

[atlanticiacomjr]

Everything other than them wheels! 😂 one of my favourite cars. Love the content Shmee.

Another great and informative video. Fantastic

[emilyw]

It looks like a very good car but I can't help thinking that a lot of that tech is just unnecessary and won't get used. Great video Tim!

Thanks for the review! If one was comparing a preowned FF vs. this car (and ignoring the newer electronic gadgetry available on the Porsche), what would you say are the relative strengths and drawbacks?

[beev]

is it just me, or does everyone love the stitching over the binnacle?! #smallthings

[muhammadarfan]

This car is amazing. But Tim should do a comparison with this and the V8 GT4Lusso! Great video.

[lewisfoster]

I think this is a really cool car, but although very different to your upcoming gt3 which is amazing btw, i think having two porches may spoil that special appeal you have of having a car each of a different brand (excluding any focus rs's) the ff is a hard act to follow, and i know you've said ferraris are expensive, but just seeing how much fun you've had in them previously and especially the ff when you came back to it after a while. the v12 is something else. the gtc4 looks ace, but maybe wait to see if there are any special editions?. anyway thanks again for the great content Tim :)

[mikestone]

Your face tells the story. You don't look as excited as you did in the Lusso. Just wait until you find that Lusso at a smart used price. Great channel as always.

[danblackburn]

Hi shmee, Great video. Keep up the good work;)

[adamr]

that’s the spec to go for, although black wheels and gloss black aero kit is an absolute must so is the titanium black sports exhaust system, cream interior and carbon everywhere also pretty much every option possible😉

In my point of view the Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo is the most beautiful and sporty estate you can purchase on the market!! The inside-concept seems to be very versatile for such a sports car! Why not ? The silhouette looks so elegant and sharp 😘 In my opinion the Sport Turismo GTS is the best version of the Panamera when the car is available 😍
And yes, it is the perfect car for you SHMEE :)
