Panamera Turbo S beaten by the Panamera Turbo
In the latest issue of the German AB Sports Cars magazin is to read a direct comparison between the Panamera Turbo and Panamera S. The Panamera (without S) ist the winner.
The Turbo S is of course slightly faster. For example:
the lap time difference on the Sachsenring amounts just 0.33 seconds.
The acceleration from 0-100 kph: 3,7 / 3,9 and 0-200 kph 12,5 / 13,8.
But that is where the real advantage of the S is visible: 1.3 sec difference is pretty noticeable.
Despite these facts the Panamera Turbo won this comparison, because the extra power stand in no relation to the additional costs. The latter is of course a matter of personal opinion. The extra price for the Panamera Turbo S is just at 14,000 €. For me the extra costs would be well worth to spend.
