2025 Porsche Panamera Turbo Review: A 680HP Aston Martin Killer?

If you were an actual spy, would you drive an Aston Martin or a Porsche Panamera?

No estate version? That was The best One 😢😢😢

It's an oversized 4 door VW bettle

[@joefx69]

I’m genuinely gutted. I loved that version. At least I can keep my kidneys now I suppose

[@wentworthharris3120]

I agree 100%

[@dnlmch]

Estate is the best one? Apparently sales figures told a different story.

[@R03333]

Right? Estate should be the default

[@ibrahimmoss]

Rory is a most brilliant presenter. And, if James Bond is listening, I hope he selects a Panamera with a gun metal gray exterior, and Black interior :)

[@urbanstrencan]

Porsche Panamera is such an underrated super saloon, my choice over E class, 5 series, or Audi A6. Too bad they cancelled estate version but still love the update they did. And this spec with green and bronze wheels is just perfection ❤❤❤. Rory great video keep it up 🤟🤟😍

[@MaureenVolkwyn]

To be fair and honest, the 'estate' version wasn't really comparable to an E-class wagon or Audi A6 Avant. Gran Turismo was the correct nomenclature and it was my favourite Panamera shape.

[@paulhancock]

I wish the styling was a bit more aggressive on the Turbo model. It doesn't look special enough to justify the price IMO, but it's got that cool Q-car vibe. Side note - If we're really talking about an Aston Martin killer... I always wanted Porsche to make a two-door coupe on the Panamera/Bentley Conti/RS7 platform; Way more aggressive, sexy, sporty, wide-body styling with more luxury, space and practicality than the 911... Like a new 948 I guess? I think the Porsche range needs that car to complete it and fill that gap for folks who need a bigger car than a 911, but don't want an 'understated family car' with 4 doors. Obviously they won't make it because it would cannibalise 911 sales (possibly even Bentley Conti sales) and big coupes don't sell like they used to, but it would be my perfect car!

[@stillsearching1284]

They could make a two door Panamera and call it a 928. It could have even more powerful engines/batteries than the 911 bc it would be more of a grand tourer than a sports car.

[@mrmorrisniceguy987]

I understand but also disagree (not with the 2 door version though, I like that) Porsche, for the most part has always been a understated brand except for the GT Models. I for my part prefer it for a daily drive because it is so under the radar, nobody would ever expect this thing to go 300kp/h+ und the Autobahn.

[@PEACEOUTXX1]

This thing sounds amazing

[@wookie94]

I think porsche lost their minds when they chose not to do a Sport Turismo of this gen, it was the one to have, not the coupe!!

[@jamesengland7461]

Sadly. they know too few people would buy it, as they did the previous version

[@rong8889]

Didn’t sell… I think it’s called insanity. To do the same thing expecting different results 🤷🏽‍♂️

Dream car is still the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo. The list of reasons it's amazing is as long as its name.

[@mra9085]

This over an M5 any day - more exclusive and better looking. Plus, Porsches over £100k hold their value a lot better than other brands, which lose about a 1/3 immediately.

[@peterhammer6915]

Panamera's values drop like stone lately. This will not be different.

[@osmiumtank]

This car loses value more than any other in this luxury segment. What are you talking about?

I think calling any Porsche an Aston killer is a bit wrong... Porsche have ALLWAYS made the better car, but , put it this way: Noone "likes" Aston, they ADORE them, and how good the car is never really comes into it, they're just beyond anything else. Brain says Porsche, Heart says Aston, and the heart isn't so easily swained....

[@Spenny909]

If driving feel is important, Porsche wins both heart and mind.

[@decepticonstinger3150]

That spoiler though, holy crap!

[@thesacvroom]

The sports tourismo was the best looking panamera.. and one of the best looking Porsches… it’s a shame it is discontinued

[@Nemoticon]

The Porsche is technically better in every way, no argument whatsoever. But I don't desire one. I do however desire an Aston. IF they made a 2dr Coupe of the Panamera as a spiritual successor to the 928, I may change that opinion!

[@flaminggodofthunder]

12:32 that was a cool shot

[@rickmason6157]

No my friend Bond needs Aston Martin cars to keep up the identity of a globe trotting playboy among the rich.His swag is his cover as an agent.Thats why he drives the best, dresses the best, and dines the best.Thats why he is BOND.

[@long_view]

Thank you. Except that the previous Panamera saloon (hatchback?) had a rear wiper as an option. However, fair point about the rear camera.

[@50shadesmixrace]

Evan if i brought 5 of these I still won't be eligible for a porsche 911 gt3 rs😮‍💨

[@applephone4]

This is just beautiful. I reckon is the best car ever

[@bravethomasyt]

The issue I have with the Panamera (and any Porsche, to be fair) is just that... well... it's just a Porsche. They're not "special" anymore. You see them everywhere, and the number of them for sale on AT is more than some other mainstream cars. And the killer is that they're nowhere near as reliable as many journalists claim them to be. I think if you want something special then you _do_ need to get an Aston, Ferrari, Lambo etc. Not a Porsche.

[@CarsWatches]

That car not tilting in the corners is making my brain fry! 😅

[@PDW76]

Great review as usual, Rory. However, why no rear wiper option? I think an owner would be very nervous reversing out of a parking bay in the rain.
