The guys at Autocar have been among the first to road test the Porsche Panamera, testing the 4.
8 litre, V8 turbo charged version with 500 hp and 700 Nm.
The whole point of the test drive? To check whether the car actually drives like a Porsche should, despite the rear passenger seats and boot.
Any judgement would probably depend on whether the 95,000 pounds (or 112,000 euros) is worth it, but at least “they get the boring stuff right”.
Apparently it compares quite well in price to a BMW 7-series or a Mercedes S-class.
But neither of them is a Porsche.
