Best car on the market . . Class, fast and superb build quality . . Its how it makes you feel and how it feels to drive that makes the difference

[@imyanigmw]

This and the CLS 550 are my dream cars. As soon as my son turns 18, I'm leaving my wife, buying one of these and getting 22 yr old girlfriend, who I'll leave a yr later for a 21 yr old.

[@hoaxbusterhodler9676]

Sad

[@chadsolomon3501]

i guess im randomly asking but does someone know a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid forgot my account password. I would love any tips you can give me

[@skylerelian2448]

@Chad Solomon instablaster ;)

[@488ferc4]

Hilarious!

[@maxmartz4665]

I see the 911 approaching in my mirrors, chills start at the thought of seeing her pass. Strong lines, the hips, but wait it keeps on coming by, 4 doors and still passing by. Cold horror grips me as I realize it is Panamera. Rushing home I hug my “cheap” sports car., and comfort her by reminding the Boxster tthe Panamera is a very distant cousin. Glad I see the Panamera in the wilds of I40, at least the driven.

[@joshxkerrigan]

Loved the 911 since I was a kid, but seeing the Panamera finally get the makeover it deserved makes it a much more enticing option.

[@hertzair1186]

…same story for me…worshipped the 911 since high school…but at age 61 I am aiming at the Panamera…the bone jarring ride and road noise of a 911 won’t work for my age now…

[@J.BOXTER]

If Porsche had an award like football, this video would win the Gold Ball of the last 3 years. Congrats! The very best Porsche video ever! Also the second award ever goes to...your video of Porsche 911 turbo. Thats also extraordinary!

[@porscheguy09]

I still wish Porsche would make a two door GT version of the Panamera to be the successor to the 928 and put a true GT car in the lineup to compete with cars like the Ferrari 812 Superfast or Aston Martin offerings.

[@dam4274]

Ryan Lange I have seen renderings and I agree.

[@robertnicholls9917]

I've been saying this for years. The Panamera brand is solid enough to do that now and I know they've thought of it in house but haven't run the numbers to see if it's a viable business.

[@aryapradhanad186]

that would kill the conti gt sales

[@philipmontanti7344]

I have a Porsche 928 and would love to see a modern version.

[@porscheguy09]

I didn’t really think about it until now but the Panamera Turbo weighs the same as the BMW M5. The Panamera Turbo S e-Hybrid puts on almost 1,000 extra pounds according to Porsche it weighs in at 5,300 lbs. That’s a lot of extra weight for only gaining 59 ft lbs of torque despite the extra 130 horsepower.

[@brycecampbell4845]

I own a 2018 Turbo I agree more toggle switches and way less "button's on a screen"

[@coreyoldknow272]

Very good video. Lots of straight forward video

[@IceDree]

Yea, the ST makes life harder for Volvo lol. Excellent work, M.

[@t5grrr]

There are many negative comments about the black glass touch pad. I have a Ford Explorer as my car in China. It has the Sony Black glass touch pad and it does not have a fingerprint or dust problem any more than any other surface. It also works very well with a "dink" feedback so I think their concerns are completely unfounded.

[@nickeckemoff7631]

Nice change to PDK...the current 7 speed in the 911 can only handle 400 LB and that's where the torque is flat in a dyno, even though you can tune the car to do so over 500. I'd love me a family wagon Panamera along side my 911, but it's just too expensive. Totally read my mine about waiting a few years and buying loaded one is the best way to go. The panamera isn't high demand deprecates quickly.

[@teesilinosueva8070]

The best sports sadan ever is the panarama se turbo hybrid

[@curtisj6349]

i love the rear of the Porsche panorama!😍🤗 Porsche has the best engineers in the world, bar none! especially the 918 spider, it brings a tear to my eye😢

[@gunsandcars3648]

looking at the 18 to purchase next ,obtw is it just me or do I have to turn up my speakers way high to hear the commentary?

[@Hajduk-Kralj]

Such a improvement.

[@Superfastjellyfish669]

I love the paint color

[@dieurlaubsprofis6290]

Taycan is turkish and means : 'soul of a spirited young horse'

[@robbae9307]

great video as always👍🏻

[@okumonux]

Is this particular Panamera equipped with rear-wheel-steering and/or PDCC?

[@lgreen5]

The exhaust sounds terrible! Is there a modern glass pack exhaust that can be added to sharpen up the tone? Actually, is a moot point because the Taycan will rule in silents in a year.

[@dwilson2126]

Great car! Very unGerman placement of the Hazard switch/button though. Directly in front of the shifter? Looks like it would be difficult to find quickly. Other than that, would love to own one but I'm a cheap skate as well.

[@BillMall]

That looks like Ortega Hwy. If so, you're not giving this car the full justice it deserves as that road is miserable to drive on.

[@sanghoonlee5171]

The thumbnail makes me think: for Panamera, Porsche should ditch the wagon-like side profile and just go with the normal look of a 4-door sedan like Quattroporte.

[@Larmondra]

Did you say you shot this at Christmas? (At 3:40). Have you been editing it for 9 months?

[@MotoManTV]

You heard correct . . . This was shot just before Christmas of last year. Through some post production process changes, the move to the hangar as well as some scheduling conflicts with other episodes, this one was pushed closer to another episode coming up next week. Stay tuned.

[@hertzair1186]

Porsche needs to make a 2-door Panamera…with a V8 option..and call it the Panamera 928…as a homage to the original 928.

[@MotoManTV]

Couldn't agree more!

[@hertzair1186]

Danke!

[@MrMustangrick]

Price ????????????????

[@SerenaGalactica]

Sounds so pretty 🌸☺

[@Scotty70]

PANAPHRENIA....

[@SerenaGalactica]

Scott 70 no mental disorder here sir. Its a beautiful vehicle.

[@KryptoDemon]

Agreed. Mission-e was a better name. Taycan? No. I'm not saying keep the mission-e name as that isnt very good but better than Taycan.

[@vh9network]

Wait they changed the electric Porsche from Mission-E to Taycan? That's a terrible name. Taycan sounds like "taken", or worse Tekken the video game.

[@KryptoDemon]

I know, but it isnt a very good name. Even the guys from Porsche admit it.

[@benkrapf]

The only problem is the exhaust note.

[@siphonsnob]

Christmas on August 1?

[@MotoManTV]

You heard correct . . . This was shot just before Christmas of last year. Through some post production process changes, the move to the hangar as well as some scheduling conflicts with other episodes, this one was pushed closer to another episode coming up next week. Stay tuned.

[@monfrancaisaccount69monfra8]

I want the e hybrid

[@sohailkhurshid8903]

porche Panama

[@iankamuri9090]

Buda hii ndai ni yangu.

[@BigBoss-ps6vk]

What a terrible road!

[@517sf6]

I’d get an E63 wagon

[@KryptoDemon]

I've been looking at the E63s. Those are brutally fast. They just dont have the driving prowess of the Porsche though. It was the steering feel of the Panamera Turbo that first grabbed my attention from the likes of AMG and the rest. Not harping on the E63s because its nice, but really the Porsche is in a different class.

[@benkrapf]

Porsche's new interior design is also better.

[@517sf6]

Novemdecillion on what planet

[@517sf6]

Emad Ahmed y do ppl still use stereotypes. I guess a grandpa car company can do well in F1 and I guess they can make some amazing sports cars

[@Yachtzeee]

Mercedes has never been soo close to competing with Porsche. They are very close, but not there yet. Just my opinion.

[@FunFactsAboutTech]

Hmm, porky!
