Have you ever heard about something called torque ?

[@daviddaniel4514]

Awesome review as always! Keep it up Thomas!

[@autogefuehl]

cheers m8 !

[@ERTZZTRE]

You perfectly transport the fascination of driving the Panamera - not many people are abled to do this. The car perfectly combines the "highspeedtrain"-feeling, that you want from a car of the luxury class with the typical road-feedback especially in the steering that is typical for Porsche. I don`t know any car that does this in the same way.

[@ghost_lukh]

Your detailed reviews are refreshing, not rushed. Keep it up

[@suitcafe]

I agree, my favorite Porsche, so underrated.

[@musiclover4311]

Underrated? Who underrates this car?

[@suitcafe]

@ meaning this model, the Panamera is not as desirable as say a 911 & does not sell as well as a Macan or Cayenne, but its an awesome car. Styling included.

[@אלִיהו-ז8ס]

Beautiful presentation of this nice car. Very well filmed. Congratulations Thomas and Leah !

I cannot wait for auto manufacturers to move away from piano black interior materials as well as ditching the touch screen controls. I guess I'm getting "old" but I'll take manual buttons all day, every day. Otherwise, beautiful car that can do it all. Nice review!

[@dcDOC19]

Like always, I’ve enjoyed your review..

[@autogefuehl]

🙏🙏

[@SimJoy]

Nice to see that you brought it to the channel, there is too less coverage of the new Panamera on YT and I think the GTS is the sweet spot with the V8. Do you feel that the G2 II gives a little bit more premium feeling at the interior, compared with the G3?

[@golfbuddy1969]

Thomas - you really do some of the very best car reviews anywhere. I appreciate your views on leather even though I don’t agree. I know it takes tons of work to do all that you do, and just want you to know it is appreciated. And I am jealous of your job! 😊

[@autogefuehl]

I like how every pov car reviewer has waze open to locate police😂

[@markmd9]

On German autobahn they don't need that 😃

[@nsglcck]

@@markmd9the autobahn has a lot of restricted area’s. Also there is always maintenance, nice to know beforehand when you’re driving 200km/h+.

[@chenelisha1053]

I drive 50.000 kilometers a year and after using all of the navigation softwares available - WAZE is the best and not only for police, fastest route, live data from other users and an easy interface. Love it

[@okCool51]

​@@nsglccksorry wrong, waze is most often used to locate literal police cars waiting on the highway. Germany doesnt have this kind of policing

[@marswabisabi8918]

Very big improvement to the older model. This one is worthwhile buying !

[@mikeandrews9551]

I own a ‘16 Panamera GTS, the last year with the naturally aspirated V8, and it represents the pinnacle of what a sports sedan should be. In many ways, it may be the best sports sedan ever made.

[@wreckedrebuilds2515]

It’s such a shame that Porsche aren’t releasing a sport turismo body style, which was by far my favourite 😭

[@kellanhills1972]

“Lots of high gloss black…which no one asked for”. 😂😂. Exactly! Love your channel and its presentation. The German accent makes listening fun as well for an American lol.

[@kevinwall795]

Never understood the need to replace traditional speedo/rev counters with digital versions. Absolutely pointless.

[@lukeleekk]

How would you differentiate this from turbo e-hybrid model in terms of cornering, speed, and suspension? Thnx for the video!

[@benzamg1982]

With nappa leather and carbon trims is the best panamera . And i said this as a 4s owner ( 2014 and 2021). Gts always was the best. Cheers

[@constantinadm]

Lovely machine! How far gets you a full tank on autobahn when you drive like that with that kind of traffic?

[@pauld61]

Gorgeous! I’ll have 2 😂❤

[@DanielSadjadian]

Exhaust sounds nice too for an OPF V8.

[@BenFoe]

Thomas - great review. What would be your choice as daily driver - with Active Ride Control or without. GTS or Turbo E-Hybrid?

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks! No GTS - too loud. V6 or V6 Hybrid with fabric seats like here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/amXXiaeerb1jgNEsi=cO8lhx41d876jwU2

[@BenFoe]

@ Many thanks, Thomas. Appreciate your fast response - I’m currently driving a V12 and don’t want to downgrade 😉 Let me know your opinion of the V8 options (GTS vs. E-Hybrid) as DD? Is the Active Ride Control in ‘Daily driving’ really worth the money? My consideration is S63 AMG vs. Panamera GTS or Turbo E-Hybrid - coming from a BMW M760LI

[@autogefuehl]

Not needed the active ride. I d go for the turbo

[@f1b1777]

Honestly I think Porsche made mistake the Pan came out. They should Reintroduced the 928 name as that 928 was the “posh/Comfy’ of the Porsche range when original 928 came out. Marketing would been better plus they could made a coupe version etc . Admitting the 928 then the Targa my favourite Porsche

[@ravitaheem4272]

Tomas, would you say I should swap my BMW M8 GC for the GTS, or keep the M8?

[@bigstroke2069]

Do you have any information about the wear of the Papita material vs the the materials? Thanks.

[@RobertLeBlancPhoto]

Why the lack of instrument display hood?

[@davidchiu1009]

Love your review Thomas, btw do you think the pumped in exhaust sound in the speakers feel unnatural or is it just alright in your opinion? I have the previous gen 4 E-hybrid with sports exhaust and that one is not pumped into the speaker system since the Bose surround sound was not a forced option when you chose the sport exhaust. I watched another KZbin review of the Turbo E-hybrid on the autobahn and the other reviewer thought the sound was way too fake in his opinion

[@autogefuehl]

Cheers 🙏

[@autogefuehl]

Hm maybe thats with the hybrids, we tested base and turbo hybrid here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2aXhoaHrsaErK8si=RT6dsbkKfs8gdJzf

[@kartikk127]

Hi Thomas, what type / brand of suction mount did you use for the sunroof camera? Must be excellent to stay put during hard accelerations.

Nice color red , that engine bay is completely covered can't see anything from the engine there.

Until next time Thomas, Cheers !

I wish they made them a little quieter. Porsche has an option for everything, why not additional sound deadening? I looked at a 4s hybrid and it was loud going down the road, too loud for a buck fifty

[@autogefuehl]

4S better than GTS in that respect though

[@williamtrevor9210]

How much noise from the tires? Porsche's tire noise in most models is very high.

[@markscars1069]

Those two screws between the A and B pillars, at 4:51 and around that timeline, look very odd in a car of that perceived quality and value.

[@autogefuehl]

Interesting, wonder what they are for

[@dusandestanovic5884]

The Panamera is the best choice if you want a luxurious driver's sedan, the back seats have nothing to do with it, they are just there for transportation purposes. There is nothing like Panamera, nothing.

[@valentinleonov9007]

Is it really too loud inside when travelling at ~200 kph?

A great perceptive review by Thomas, particularly the comment about the Panamera being the favorite Porsche. Moved from 2019 Panamera Turbo to a 2022 Bentley Continental GT, but honestly, the Panamera is a better value. Driving dynamics and the ride is better in the Panamera. It won’t have the high quality interior, but it’s a better driver than the Bentley.
