The Panamera “barn” was made mainly with an eye on the European market, where premium cars of this type are at a premium, but this modification will, fortunately, be available in Russia as well. In the form of a station wagon, the Panamera was first shown back in 2012, but production version I had to wait five years. The commodity “shed” may not be as elegant as the concept was, but it will certainly find its buyer.
practicality in this case not so principled, the Panamera Sport Turismo is not a competitor, and it will be chosen primarily for its style and outstanding dynamic qualities, although you can stuff a fair amount of suitcases into its depths: the trunk volume to the waist line is 520 liters, with the second row seats folded down - 1390 l. You can organize and secure your luggage with a set of hooks and nets.
The rear sofa of the station wagon, unlike other Panameras, can be triple, however, the central passenger will have to sit upside down, hugging the large central tunnel with their legs, which has not gone away, so the manufacturer himself designates the car’s landing formula as 4 + 1. The buyer, however, can order a standard two-seat sofa for the station wagon, but the “sheds” with increased legroom rear passengers The company will not offer.
An active spoiler is built into the tailgate of the passenger-and-freight Panamera, the angle of attack of which is adjustable depending on the speed, giving up to 50 kg payload to the back to increase downforce.
Station wagons will only be available with all-wheel drive, for basic version they will take the Panamera 4 Sport Turismo with a petrol “turbo-six” with a capacity of 330 hp. - you can become its owner "only" for 6,667,000 rubles. Hybrid Panamera 4 E-Hybrid Sport Turismo (462 hp) will cost 7,823,000 rubles, Panamera 4S Sport Turismo with a 440 hp V6 engine. costs at least 8,079,000 rubles. For the top version of the Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo (V8, 550 hp), you will have to pay 10,308,000 rubles. European customers will be offered another 422-horsepower Panamera 4S Diesel Sport Turismo in diesel fuel, but it will not be delivered to us yet. At Russian dealers station wagons will appear in November 2017.
- It is curious that the Panamera Sport Turismo is not the first five-door station wagon from Porsche: in 1987, in single copy was made "barn" on the basis of the rear-wheel drive front-engine coupe 928 and presented to the head of the company Ferry Porsche for the 75th anniversary.
- On Geneva Motor Show the premiere of the top version of the Panamera liftback, which received the name, will also take place. Its total power plug-in hybrid power plant is 680 hp
The first Porsche station wagon, dreams come true!
Former Chancellor Helmut Kohl was a tall man. Former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking was even taller. H.P. Baxter, lead singer of Scooter, is also tall. For some reason, it so happens that many successful Germans are tall.
Probably, in order not to stand out from the crowd and supporting the general trend, the noble Teutonic industry produced Porsche Panamera, a luxury sedan with a luxurious interior stuffed with technological devices and an appearance that not everyone liked, but still set a high bar for design for gourmets from all over the world.
The GTS and Turbo models were extremely fast, which only complemented an already flawless car in many ways.
The second version/generation of the Panamera proved to be even more technological and perfect car which you want to look at and which you would like to ride. For whatever it's worth, it's an extended version of the 911 coupe.
But the real icing on the cake was the appearance of the variant, a model that first appeared as a concept car on Paris Motor Show in 2012. This is the Panamera that you don't want to take your eyes off of, and it gives citizens from different countries such an opportunity. The most pretentious station wagon has already gone into the series.
And it seems that everything has already been said about him, but let's draw the attention of our readers to the 7 most interesting secrets of this instance, which, perhaps, few people knew about.
1. Quintuple? No, it's "4 plus 1"
Don't be fooled by the body type of this car. Yes, it is practical, one might even say “universal”, but the essence of the matter does not change from this, first of all it luxury car with all that it implies. And this means that instead of the rear sofa (although in basic configurations you can install it) passengers will be met by two sports leather seats. You may not be able to transport long items, but you will definitely get the maximum possible comfort. Well, in the trunk for a company of four people, a brazier, skis, rollers or other equipment for carrying out active rest Outdoors.
2. There is still so much space! For outdoor activities!
Thus, we smoothly move on to the next integral part. this car. If premium is in his blood, then the capacity appeared in this Panamera body type.
520 liters behind rear seats and 1390 liters if the seatbacks are folded down, they will surprise any car owner who needs roomy car. Rather, how to say surprise? Yes, this is less than that of competitors, especially if we compare the volume indicators with the seats folded down, but honestly, can you take away, roughly speaking, a couple of burly sacks of potatoes in a Ferrari or Rolls-Royce? No! And now it is possible on a passenger car Porsche!
So for long-distance travel this car is completely ready, especially if you take an economical diesel variant Panamera 4S Diesel with 422 hp under the hood.
3. Functional spoiler on the station wagon
We already wrote about this in one of our earlier notes. The active spoiler system was developed exclusively for the needs of this model, taking into account its aerodynamics. The spoiler has several positions and is activated at speeds of 169 km / h or 86 km / h, with the Sport and Sport Plus modes turned on and develops 50 kg of additional force on rear axle.
An open sunroof also causes the spoiler to go into maximum attack mode, helping to reduce noise.
Developing such a smart wing has been a major headache for Porsche engineers. Let's thank them for this.
4. If you have a dog, this is your Porsche
If this vehicle is capable, it is expected that a variety of luggage will be loaded into it. What is needed for this? Low floor for easy loading. Moving the spoiler to the roof played a positive role in solving this important problem. As a result, the opening of the fifth door turned out to be wide, and the floor went lower. Even a toy terrier can easily jump on it, if you have one, or accommodate a Rottweiler.
Just remember that pets also need to be transported correctly, more on this here:
5. Turbo model is still incredibly fast
A distinctive feature of the Porsche station wagon is certainly the power of the presented engine line. Of the five engine models, the simplest one develops a weighty 330 hp, the average power option will already provide 422 diesel horses, followed by a gasoline 440- strong engine and exotic 462 hybrid horses in the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid. If we mention the most powerful version of the Panamera Turbo Sport, then 550 hp is relevant for it.
Porsche claims 3.8 seconds to 100 km/h with the Turbo Sport Turismo or 3.6 seconds with the Sport package Chrono. Either way, pairing the 550-horsepower twin-turbo V8 with the new eight-speed PDK transmission produces viciously fast acceleration.
By the way, the 330 hp version is not too far behind the leader, 5.5 seconds to 100 km/h. For a wagon, this is more than worthy!
6. The new king among the fast German station wagons. Or something like that
Even such crushing acceleration cannot put the Porsche Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo at the very top of the pedestal, the famous wagon is still faster. A little, but more agile. However, we will make a small discount for the 2.0 ton hulk, because it can easily bypass any other station wagon in the world. Which is another achievement of German engineering.
7. The hybrid version is probably the most interesting model in the series
Powered by a twin-turbo V6, complemented by an electric drive motor, the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid Sport Turismo is the most technologically advanced package Porsche has ever introduced. The total power output is 462 hp. and 700 Nm of torque. The combination of turbocharged sport pickup and electric eco-friendliness makes the version extremely beneficial both on the track and when driving around the city to the bakery.
It's a pity, according to the official website of Porsche in the Russian Federation, the cost of several one-room apartments in the capital is 12 million rubles.
At the Geneva Motor Show, Porsche presented the 2017 production version of the Panamera Sport Turismo station wagon, built on the basis of the second-generation hatchback. It is noteworthy that the concept with the same name was first shown back in 2012 at an exhibition in Paris.
So, what are the main differences between the Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo and the original model? And there are actually very few differences. The cars have the same length (5,049 mm) and width (1,937), while the height (1,428) of the station wagon turned out to be only 5 millimeters more than that of the hatchback.
Options and prices Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo 2019
PDK - 8-speed robot, AWD - four-wheel drive, h is a hybrid
The roof on the Sport Turismo is devoid of a strong slope and extends to a great length. The openings have also been enlarged. rear doors, and the window in rear pillars came out a little bigger. plus over rear window an active spoiler can be seen, while the trunk lid is made in such a way as to reduce the loading height.
In all other respects, with regard to the design of the exterior new Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo, the car completely copies . The same can be said about the interior - in the front, it is exactly the same for both versions. But at the back, a little more space was added both for the knees and in the head area.
Of course, the increase turned out to be insignificant, but the company is in a hurry to announce that the Panamera Sport Turismo 2019 can take up to five people on board, although due to the massive central tunnel, hardly anyone will like to sit in the back in the middle. As a result, the Germans came up with an original move, designating the station wagon's landing formula as "4 + 1".
Loading / unloading here can be a little easier, especially if you install a special organizer for an extra charge that can move along the sled, but the trunk itself has not become much larger. The volume under the shelf has grown from 495 to 520 liters, and with the backs of the rear sofa folded down, from 1,304 to 1,390. hybrid version due to the presence of batteries, the values \u200b\u200bare a little more modest - 425 and 1,295 liters, respectively.
Worthy of special mention rear spoiler, which on the Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo 2019 station wagon has three positions. But at speeds over 170 km/h, it changes the angle of attack from -7 to +1 degrees in order to increase downforce. In the Sport and Sport + modes, it already rises at 90 km/h, and if you open the sunroof at glass roof, then after 90 the angle of attack increases to 26 degrees to reduce aerodynamic noise.
As for the hatchback, a three-chamber air suspension, active stabilizers to suppress rolls when cornering, as well as a rear axle steering mechanism are available here. There are no rear-wheel drive and extended versions for the model, as well as the top modification - but all the rest are the same as on the hatch.
We are talking about the Panamera 4 with a three-liter “six” for 330 forces, the 4S version, which already produces 440 hp, the E-Hybrid hybrid with an installation for 462 “horses”, a diesel engine with 422 hp. 4.0 liter capacity on the 4S Diesel version, as well as Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo with a four-liter engine for 550 “horses”. Box for all 8-band robot PDK with two clutches.
European sales of the Panamera station wagon began on October 17, prices in Germany start at € 97,600. Depending on the version, the car goes for 2,900 - 7,000 euros more expensive than a hatchback. The cost of the model in Russia varies from 7,121,000 to 13,061,000 rubles, diesel version not in the range.
Whole photo session In many markets of the world, primarily in Europe, the demand for station wagons is huge. Including in the premium segment. But manufacturers of luxury cars have not yet been ready to offer such models. Now this gap can be filled by Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo
We are sitting on the terrace of a cozy hotel overlooking the centuries-old pine trees and the Pacific Ocean stretching to the horizon. Behind - almost 24-hour journey from Moscow to the extreme west of Canada, ahead, tomorrow, the first Porsche test Panamera Sport Turismo. A car that has never been in this line legendary brand. Moreover, other players in the luxury segment do not have it either - we are talking about a station wagon model. One wonders why this intrusion into the "territory of practicality", close to less ambitious brands.
"It's simple," explains Stefan Utsch, Director of Sales and Marketing model range Panamera. - For example, you and your wife have three children and your family likes to travel in comfort. But the Panamera sedan does not allow this - firstly, it has only four seats, and secondly, there simply may not be enough space for luggage. The novelty solves both problems: its luggage compartment is able to accommodate at least one more suitcase, and in the cabin for the first time for a model a 4 + 1 seating formula is used. Well, isn't that an argument in favor of such a car? Moreover, in all other respects it remains a real Porsche - sporty, comfortable, spacious. However, what I’m saying is that in just a few hours you will sit behind the wheel and evaluate everything yourself. ”
Indeed, it will not be long to wait, soon I will be able to understand whether Mr. Utsh is right or the station wagon, as it often happens, is still inferior in driving characteristics to his brother in the model range. And in general, it would be nice to figure out how the Panamera Sport Turismo can attract Russians.
Rich and…practical
The Germans from Porsche themselves try to avoid the word "station wagon" when they talk about the Panamera Sport Turismo - they don't want the model to be associated with such definitions as, say, "wagon" or, God forbid, "barn". But in the case of the current novelty, such comparisons definitely do not threaten them. To understand this, just look at the car. And it's better live - in my opinion, the photo is not able to convey his charisma, elegance, extraordinary lightness in everything, somehow combined with muscularity and energy. When looking at this model, it never occurs to think of other station wagons - to such an extent New Product turned out to be original and elegant. Here, by the way, is the first argument for buying it: in such a car you will definitely stand out in traffic flow!
I look into the salon. The front part is familiar to the last comma - everything is here, as in the second generation Panamera sedan. Well, they don’t look for good from good: verified ergonomics, excellent chairs with many settings, impeccable quality of finish. Doubts, except perhaps in visibility - all the same, a different form of the “stern” of the body with a rather narrow rear window. However, I am convinced that there are no problems with this. Well, good!
But the second row of seats has changed radically - in standard equipment for the first time, the landing formula 2 + 1 was applied to the model. That is, it is no longer appropriate to talk about “armchairs” - now it is a sofa, in the middle of which a third passenger can travel. But it’s better if it turns out to be a child, since three adults are not particularly spacious here. On the side seats, very large men can also comfortably accommodate, and there is enough space for them both above their heads and in the knee area, at least I put my knees in the back front seat didn't rest. However, as an option, the company offers two separate chairs with electric adjustments.
Finally, I come to what, in fact, was created by Sport Turismo - to the trunk. I run my foot under the rear bumper and the door automatically goes up. Inside... Yes, for the sake of such linkers it was worth working hard! The view simply falls deep into the compartment, like into a well. I quickly find numbers in the technical specifications: the length of the trunk floor is 108.8 cm, the width of the opening between wheel arches- 92 cm, loading height - only 63 cm, volume - 520 l. You can easily pack several even very large suitcases here.
But this is not the limit! Having folded the rear sofa with an electric drive, you get a flat area in two-thirds of the cabin and, accordingly, almost a ship's hold with a capacity of 1390 liters. Bicycle, ski, snowboard? No problem, all this will fit in the car without problems. Moreover, the interior can be transformed in different ways. For example, not all the seat backs should be folded, but in parts (in the ratio 40:20:40), and then even when transporting long items, one or two passengers may well sit on the second row. Well, I give Sport Turismo credit for functionality, and this is the second reason to pay attention to new car.
Oh, I'll ride!
The next item of the test program is the driving ability of the car. It would be necessary to check whether he really retained the sporting habits of his “sedan brother” or is it just marketing ploy, enticing. But first I need to decide which version I will test. There are five of them - from the 330-horsepower Panamera 4 Sport Turismo to the flagship Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo, capable of developing 550 "horses". Between them are also located a petrol 440-horsepower 4S, a hybrid 4 E-Hybrid with a capacity of 462 hp. and diesel 4S Diesel, carrying 422 "horses" under the hood.
I decide to act as a maximalist and sit down in the top modification - Turbo. You no longer need to insert the key into the lock, but what about without traditions: to the left of the steering wheel (in Porsche it cannot be otherwise), you need to turn the ignition lever. And immediately a solid roar of a 4-liter twin-turbo V8! I am moving the selector of the 8-speed PDK preselective box with two clutches to drive mode, I press on the gas pedal, and the car just shoots from a place, pressing me into a chair. Fortunately, the parking lot at the hotel is wide and there is enough space for a starting jerk.
Now I want to test another function of this motor - the ability to turn off four of the eight cylinders where peak loads are not required. Alas, there is only one way to understand that the engine has “halved” - by displaying the instantaneous fuel consumption on the “dashboard” screen (it is reduced by a quarter or even almost a third before our eyes), otherwise the behavior of the car does not change. And only when it is necessary to overtake or there is an opportunity to “snap” with the breeze, the station wagon, again becoming like Usain Bolt, accelerates like a rocket in a matter of moments.
And how are things with handling, with driving comfort? Is the novelty noticeably different from the sedan? These questions should be answered by the tracks of Vancouver Island, laid in the mountains in the middle of the forests. The roads are winding and narrow so that it is possible to part with an oncoming timber truck only if someone stops and gives way. But you don’t have to do this often - the canvas is mostly free and you can drive it for your own pleasure. Here is a bunch of winding turns, here is a long climb and then a sharp descent to the lake, then a section of rather broken asphalt, and then a one-lane bridge, in front of which you should almost brake urgently, and again a straight section of several hundred meters, where radars are hardly hidden measuring speed...
What can I say, the conclusion is unambiguous: having acquired new body, Porsche Panamera has not lost its dynamics, agility and grip. More than a two-ton car, having a length of over 5 m and a width of almost 2 m, is completely predictable and obedient. The station wagon clearly stands straight, easily enters turns of any complexity (and without throwing the “stern”), confidently keeps the trajectory set by the pilot (yes, that’s exactly what you feel in almost sports interior"German"). It turns out that Stefan Utsch was not disingenuous ...
For all this, one should also thank the experience of Porsche engineers, who have eaten more than one pack of dogs on their sports cars, and all kinds of electronic assistants. I will not dwell on such devices as adaptive air suspension with three-chamber technology, PASM damping control systems and PDCC Sport body roll suppression, electromechanical steering and the integrated chassis control system Porsche 4D-Chassis Control. All this is familiar from other models of the brand and has proven its effectiveness. But the adaptive retractable spoiler in the rear of the roof is a novelty. It became the main component of the Porsche Active Aerodynamics (PAA) active aerodynamics system.
The point is that the angle of attack of the spoiler, depending on the speed and the mode selected by the driver, is automatically adjusted, and this creates up to 50 kg of additional downforce on the rear axle. For example, at speeds up to 170 km / h, this element is adjusted to an angle of attack of -7 °, reducing aerodynamic drag and saving fuel. On the contrary, with more high speed the spoiler extends to the Performance - "Race" position and, having received an angle of attack of +1 °, increases exchange rate stability and transverse dynamics. With such technologies, driving in a car is both pleasant and not scary.
Button comfort
In general, the Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo is practically a gadget on wheels. So, reseeding in version 4 E-Hybrid, where a 330-horsepower V6 biturbo is combined with a 136-horsepower electric motor, I drove more than 40-kilometer section on pure electricity, including accelerating over "hundreds" - gasoline unit never turned on! And the brand's engineers assure that the power reserve without an internal combustion engine should have been enough for another ten kilometers, and at speeds up to 140 km / h. By the way, in all other disciplines - dynamics, handling, driving comfort - such a car is almost comparable to the flagship modification.
In addition, all Panamera Sport Turismos are literally stuffed with various electronics that contribute to comfort and safety. Here you and adaptive cruise control own development brand, and a night vision system that recognizes animals and people, and a traffic sign reading function, and a lane change assistance system. Not to mention such things as touchscreen monitors, heated and ventilated seats with massage, steering wheel heating, Burmester surround sound system, doors with automatic closers, “multimedia” for rear passengers, parking assistant with all-round view… Some of the above is only available as an option, but many features new model equipped as standard. So, we state one more argument in favor of the Porsche station wagon.
It only remains to say that Russian market the car will appear in November 2017. Prices various modifications start from 6,667,000 to 10,000 rubles.

Quick jump to sections
The main figures characterizing new Porsche Panamera 4S second generation are as follows. Accelerates from zero to hundreds in 4.2 seconds. The engine has two turbines and produces 440 hp. power and 550 Nm of torque. So there are no questions for the Porsche Panamera 4S in this part.
Questions can only arise about the appearance of the car, which is too reminiscent of another model of the same brand, namely the 911 sports car. Indeed, from some angles, the new Porsche Panamera is the spitting image of 911. Five door hatchback sort of borrowed from the iconic spor-coupe of the side glazing company and the architecture of the front. However, the Germans claim that the new Panamera only gives the impression that it is copied from the 911, but in fact it is not. However, fans of the brand a new silhouette is not so much bewilderment as admiration.
The length of the 2017 Porsche Panamera has increased by 34 mm, with 30 of them going to increase the wheelbase. Width increased by 6, and height - by 5 mm. The last figure could have been completely ignored, if not for one circumstance. In the second row, the roof is now 20 mm lower. As the creators assure, it was possible to do this without prejudice to the internal space.
There is really no more space overhead than in some family hatchbacks, but sit behind the driver, if you can complain about something, then only about some tightness in the area of \u200b\u200bthe feet.
Salon interior
But the creators of the new Panamera came up with a lot of things to entertain those who did not get a seat behind the wheel. So, between the seats there is a multimedia screen with which you can control everything that happens in the entertainment center, for example, change tracks or start a video. But it will be much more interesting to deal with climate control management. The fact is that there are no flags or levers on the deflectors, with which it would be possible to change the direction of air flow. This is done only with the help of a touchscreen.
Another entertainment lies in the inter-seat boxing. There are also two chargers for gadgets. The mechanism of cupholders is also curious, which can be removed, additional stops opened, and then closed back.
Another curious fact. Behind the second row is 495 liters of luggage space, and with the help of the interior transformation, this space can be increased to 1300 liters. In general, those who made the new Porsche Panamera were clearly trying to tell us that they love those sitting in the back and luggage no less than they love the person behind the wheel.
Driver's seat
There are only two analogue instruments left: a stopwatch under the windshield and a tachometer. To the left and right of the tachometer are two seven-inch displays, which replace two instruments each, for a total of five dials classic for Porsche. However, the content can be changed as you wish. For example, you can display the navigator screen in place of two of them. In the center is a display with a diagonal of 12.3 inches. It is sensitive to touch, which means you can control almost anything with it.
The Porsche Communication Management multimedia system was already very well thought out and intuitive, but now it has become even smarter. For example, with its help, you can not only configure all the parameters of the 2017 Porsche Panamera, but also find out, for example, the weather at your destination, look at the airport scoreboard, and all this works at a speed that is not inferior to a modern smartphone.
The creators seem to have fallen in love with their own creation so much that they transferred almost all the functions to it. For example, changing the clearance and forced lifting of the wing now also needs to be looked for in the menu. There are no real buttons for this.
For those who love controllers, there is a round thing that you can press and with which you can actually control something. Although perhaps this is just a rudiment, indicating that the era of individual buttons is finally a thing of the past. Disappears from salons expensive cars plastic, backlash, everything that prevented you from enjoying the money spent. And here, in the new Panamera, this feeling of well-made things is incredibly strong.
It is complemented by a "glass" console, which displays icons that you can click on. Particularly pleasant are those two segments that work like touchpads on Apple computers. They are pressed entirely, but you understand what exactly you pressed.
In general, the interior of the new Porsche Panamera is an outlandish combination of twenty-year-old science fiction dreams and works of modern sculptors. You can spend more than one hour studying this decoration.
power unit
Thanks to the increase wheelbase managed to move the interior a little back. The motor is now located strictly above the front axle, and the gearbox ends approximately at the level of the driver's knee. All three engines, two petrol and one diesel, are brand new and all are turbocharged. Admittedly, this somewhat devalues the Turbo model.
On a test drive was a 2017 Porsche Panamera 4S with a three-liter engine and two turbines. It is interesting in that the tubins are located in the collapse of the cylinder block and rotate in different sides to reduce vibration. The torque from the engine is transmitted through new box PDK, eight-speed and four-shaft. We can say that these are two twin-shaft boxes combined into one body.
In those modifications that are available on the Russian market, the drive is strictly full. It is this all-wheel drive that eliminates the main news associated with the second generation Panamera. The bottom line is that this car is built on a new platform called MSB. If you decipher this name and translate it from German, you get modular platform for classic or standard cars. That is, with the engine in the front and the drive to the rear axle. This is surprising, because Porsche has not been producing such cars for a long time, but Volkswagen concern a long time ago. Apparently, some interesting news will follow from this in the coming years.
Suspensions and comfort
And the front "double wishbon" ( wishbone) and the rear multi-link, work in conjunction with three-chamber pneumatic elements, which give a very weighty car a very decent ride. It's time to ask the question: how much lighter is the new Porsche Panamera than its predecessor? The answer is: not how much. Panamera 4S, both the first and the second generation, has a curb weight of 1870 kg, which is quite a lot.
It turns out that with such a mass you can go, and fast enough. To do this, just turn the rotary mode selector. The same one that originally appeared on the 918, and then migrated from there to Carrera. Every quarter turn, every click that marks the transition from Normal mode to Sport mode and from there to Sport Plus, reduces the number of active chambers in the air struts, making the damping stiffer.
All 440 "horses" hidden under the hood begin to work on full power, and the shift time approaches zero. It is possible to bring the engine into a furious state and more in a simple way by pressing the button Sport Response. Then all the systems of the car are mobilized for 20 seconds in order to overtake someone or just surprise. Only in this mode of "increased viciousness" do you understand that the V6 of the new Panamera is very similar to the opposite of the updated Carrera. And in numbers, the motors are very similar and even the maximum torque is achieved at about the same level.
Dynamics and controllability
It turns out that not only designers, but also mechanics were forced to be inspired by the best product of the brand. Does this mean that the Panamera rides no worse than the 911? Nothing like this. The difference in weight is three centners, and they make themselves felt. Behind the wheel of this car does not leave the feeling of weightiness.
Clamped suspension and almost absent rolls cannot correct the situation. Cornering is where the feel of this rather heavy car stratifies. On the one hand, this car has a very decent ride. On the other hand, there is inertia and it is felt.
Nevertheless, to dissect on a Porsche Panamera along a mountain serpentine or along racing track It's not so much fun as hard work. Porsche Panamera 4S is designed for a fundamentally different driving experience. Also fast, but not fussy, but more measured. In principle, this is the embodiment of the idea of "Grand Turismo".
This is precisely what it consists fundamental difference between two cars with different number of doors and almost the same price. If the 911 was created in order to maximize the concentration of drivers on driving, then the 2017 Porsche Panamera was created in order to relax it as much as possible, to remove it as much as possible from the moment, from the need for instant reactions and to allow the driver to simply enjoy the world around him. Porsche Panamera price 8.362.000 rubles.
