The Porsche
Panamera used to be Porsche’s black sheep. Being not very good looking, slow,
and long-in-all-the-wrong-places.
They decided
enough was enough it was time for a change. Now completely revamped,
redesigned, and re-engineered, the 2017 Porsche Panamera with smash your
eyeballs into the back of your head. Because holy hell, is it fast.
Over its
history, Porsche has made cars that are absolutely stunning performance
machines. And the new 2017 Panamera 4S, the starter performance model, is no
exception, the performance spec are simply mind boggling. It packs a 2.9 liter
V6, with two small but potent, mid-mounted turbochargers, producing 440
horsepower and 405 ft-lbs of torque. Pulling out a mind boggling, zero to 60
miles per hour in 4.0 seconds. That is nearly supercar quick by any measure,
but it doesn’t stop there.
Redesigned Interior |
The inside
is also completely redesigned. Say goodbye to buttons and most of the gauges.
Physical buttons in high end cars are becoming a thing of the past. The new
Panamera’s Advanced Cockpit cleans up the interior with touch-sensitive
controls for Driver and passengers, front and rear. The only physical gauge is
a tachometer that invokes memories of the classic 365. Instead, the tach, is
flanked by two 7-inch LCD screens and a large 12-inch screen in the radio
console area.
Porsche
Builds the Panamera in Germany and we would suggest, if possible, you take
delivery in Europe. Because you can watch your car get built, visit the
attached museum, and take your Panamera out unto the ultra-sweet Porsche
racetrack.
