The Panamera’s name is derived, like the Porsche Carrera lineage, from the Carrera Panamericana race. The Panamera is generally considered to be the long-awaited fruit of Porsche’s 989 concept vehicle from the late 1980s and is a full-size luxury car, with four doors, and its engine mounted in the front. This First Generation’s appearance with the long hood and rear hatch bears resemblance to a stretched 911 and has a sumptuous interior loaded with modern technological amenities and expensive leather upholstery. The engine of the Panamera Turbo S features larger turbochargers than the standard Panamera Turbo’s 4.8-litre V8, as well as high-pressure fuel injection, and aluminum-alloy pistons. The piston rings are coated in a low-friction surface to increase performance and she accelerates to 62 mph in 3.2 seconds with launch control engaged. Roll-on acceleration should be more impressive, changes to the PDK (Porsche Doppelkupplung) gearbox allow for faster gearshifts, and the alleged 27.7mpg fuel economy is no worse than the less powerful Panamera Turbo. This girl is still like brand new with very low kilometers on clock, this model even set a breathtaking time on the Nürburgring of just 7:52:20, therefore her handling and performance as well as comfort and luxuries is out of this world!
