RC:

Oh...speaking of honesty and tricks: Porsche used for the Panamera Turbo Nordschleife "record" of 7:38 min the Yokohama Advan Sport. Only problem: This tire is not available/certified (yet?) for the Panamera Turbo. Only the Conti SportContact 5P, Michelin Pilot Sport 4 and the Pirelli PZero. Well, what now, Markus?  

I could even start my own suspicion regarding the new PZero N1 used for all those 991.2 Turbo S press cars but I won't do it because it doesn't really matter. Fact is: Car manufacturers will always work with tricks. Most customers couldn't care less.

Fact is, Porsche always delivers (customer cas) what is promised. BTW, this Panamera lap time was clearly marked as a marketing event, the car also had race seats etc.

P.s.: PZero N1 are the regular tires for this car. They are very fast but also very bad in colder and wet conditions...
