Porker:

imo, it's just a simple clip to satisfy the subscribers to EVO's YouTube channel. The review itself is about so much more than simple acceleration times. They repeat time and again that performance-wise the Turbo (S) is the real competitor, but that that car is in another league price-wise.

Furthermore, it is commonly accepted that the RWD Panamera S provides the more enjoyable driving experience, so from a 'Thrill of driving' -EVO's tagline- perspective, choosing that version above the more powerful Turbo (S) makes perfect sense, again imo.

Well, EVO always use GT3/RS to compare with Ferrari or Lambo that cost twice or more.  To them, price was never a criteria.

Picking the Panamera S in this comparison is a wrong choice, and offers misleading information to the uninformed readers.  Maybe that is their key message.
