Would be close to new M3 ... now Panamera i guess has 500 kg more to carry but only 100 hp more power ... we'll see Smiley

The Panamera has a wider track, pop-up expandable wing.............and is a Porsche. It will most likely be more efficient than the M3 in getting all it's power down to the road.

With Porsche, their cars have always been greater than the sum of their parts. On the paper the 911 and Boxster have always looked inferior to their rivals but in reality they triumph. Besides that the M3 is quite a heavy car these days tipping the scale at 1.675kg. The Panamera Turbo will probably be just under 2000kg.
