Re: Panamera Turbo S Supertest
Forgot a very interesting aspect of the Sport Auto Supertest (this is why I love Sport Auto):
The Panamera Turbo S SportDesign aerodynamics package.
According to Sport Auto and an aerodynamics test, the SportDesign package actually makes aerodynamics worse by increasing downforce on the rear axle at speeds over 205 kph (when the rear wing moves into the "sport" position), which is a good thing but at the same time, due to the increased downforce on the rear axle, the lift on the front axle rises substantially. The car still felt stable at high speeds but this proves that the SportDesign package is actually wasted money in my opinion. Unless you like how it looks. I also can imagine that with additional wind and a more bumpy road, the lift would be much more noticeable, so I would stay away from the SportDesign package.
