Panamera Turbo tested by German Sport Auto

[KresoF1]

Just Hockenheim time till later...

Pana Turbo 1.13,7min which is excellent time indeed.

Do not forget that RS6 Sedan time is 1.15,3min and here are few other sportscars time to get better prespective:

Audi R8 V8 1.13,4min
Ferrari California 1.13,5min
Porsche 997.2 Carrera S 1.13,4min

So, Pana Turbo time is excellent indeed....

JUST...

Mercedes E63 AMG was also tested in same issue-1.14,0min!!! That is totally awsome time for E63 which is faster then C63 for example(and faster then M3 Coupe with M DCT!).

Did not expect that-BUT, apparently Merc is back. And it is much, much cheaper then Pana Turbo with same equipment.

The Panamera is one hell of a car, but the merc. I'm speechless....

Porsche as always have done a fab job!

Two excellent times for cars of that size and weight!

I even like the looks of Panamera ,just that small issue of a loaded Panamera costing almost twice as loaded E63 spoils the picture for me.
My Porsche dealer has in stock a Black Turbo with MSRP of $185k,while MB Dealer has a gorgeous E63 at $97k.:bigeyes:

[Lmg]

KresoF1, what was M5 and M3 DCT time?

M5's time is 1.16,5 min.

M3 Coupé's time is 1.14,3 min, but I don't if it's manual or DCT.

[KresoF1]

M5's time is 1.16,5 min.

M3 Coupé's time is 1.14,3 min, but I don't if it's manual or DCT.

M3 Coupe 1.14,3min manual with Michelin Cup+ tires. 1.15,0mn with standard Michelin PS2 tires.

M-DCT version achieved the same time on Hockenheim.
