Based on this test the Panamera turbo would be quite a disappointing car
I am now waiting for the Supertest and the first opportunity to test drive the car. Based on RC's experience (in combination with the above test) one should probably not expect too much from this, though
Based on my test drive of a Panamera S, I'd expect the Turbo version to be quite enticing.
The problem can be summarized as follows:
- E63 has slightly better acceleration at higher speeds
- E63 has shorter braking distance/better brakes
- drive dynamics stats seem to indicate that the E63 is on Panamera turbo level (Supertest needed to verify this)
- E63 has lower fuel consumption
- E63 weights 200kg less
RC writes about: slightly delayed throttle response, a drive feel closer to a conventional limousine rather than a 997, too soft suspension to be considered real sporty, disappointing sound...
In summary, all this is very disappointing to me
