    Changed my Cayenne Turb order to a Panamera Turbo

    I'll be posting specs of the car in a sec. They are going to try put in a VIP order so I may get the car sooner Smiley

     Soon we need a thread named "which cars does Mike S does not own"  


    Re: Changed my Cayenne Turb order to a Panamera Turbo

     Great choice! I drove a Panamera 4S recently loaded up with the sport exhaust, chassis control, sport seats, everything, and it's been stuck in my mind as the best car I've ever driven since then! 

    Enjoy it!

    More like Mike deserves his own forum here on Rennteam.


    Re: Changed my Cayenne Turb order to a Panamera Turbo

    LOL!!!!!

    Here is basically the spec I configured from the UK configurator website. There are a few options which I didn't see on there, but this is more or less what I will be ordering.



    Re: Changed my Cayenne Turb order to a Panamera Turbo

     Great specs Mike, the yachting mahogany trim is very very classy ! the only objection i have with the car is that it all seems to be very ... brown. mahogany exterior, 2 tone brown leather, mahogany trim ... maybe a white exterior or a lighter interior would help give the combo a bit more depth. just my 2 cents. Anyway congrats on another great buy.


    Re: Changed my Cayenne Turb order to a Panamera Turbo

    Thanks E. The mahogany looks almost black and you can only see hints of it when in daylight. So it's not as bown as you'd imagine


    Re: Changed my Cayenne Turb order to a Panamera Turbo

    Any pictures of Mahogany? When I read you went for a brown one, I figured Macadamia, apparently there's a new brown? Never heard of it...

     That sounds better, any pics of the color?


    Re: Changed my Cayenne Turb order to a Panamera Turbo

    I've just returned from a ride in a friends' Panamera Turbo, dear god what a car... I honestly can't grasp what this car is capable of. It was waiting on my driveway, and I couldn't help thinking "god this car is huge", seconds later we were almost literally flying around corners at speeds a car this size has no right to be capable of. Next up, showing the capabilities of the Burmester hifi, literally the hairs on my head were dancing along with the bass, the sound is so pure, no matter the volume, I've never heard something like that before. Lastly, we did some autobahn, the acceleration of this thing begs belief, you really have to watch the speedometer to realize how fast you're going. 100-200km/h is dealt with in the blink of an eye, cruising at 300km/h feels almost natural.

    God this car is talented, I know magazines have critisized it for feeling distant and I can understand that, but as a supersonic travel companion it has no competitor. I'm hugely amazed by this car. I've felt the same after a ride in a 997.2 GT3, but somehow it felt 'natural' to feel that way about that car, so I didn't bother writing about it, in the Panamera however I hadn't expected it, the crushing capabilities came as such a surprise.

    Lookswise the Panamera never had an easy life, but to see that car (black & Turbo II 20" wheels) take off in the dark with a thundering (admittedly modified) exhaust note, it looked impressive to say the least, it felt like Batmobile for the executive Batman.

    What a car... I'm sold!


    Re: Changed my Cayenne Turb order to a Panamera Turbo

    I guess Eunice should develop some sort of automatic congratulations function for you, so any time you get a new car, you automatically get congrats from me. Smiley

    Seriously, Mike...you need to get that car fever under control. Smiley Smiley
