2018 Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid PHEV - On Track - FIRST DRIVE REVIEW (2 of 2)

[@-Galavanta-]

I live on Vancouver Island and I have my Panamera 4 E-Hybrid arriving in 47 days... yes I thank my lucky stars every day :-)

[@jasonrabe1664]

2 much rain n overcast

[@Atombender]

Moto is slowly becoming my favourite car reviewer.

[@goons123flofy]

Alex K. I thought it was reviewer formerly known as subaruwrxfan

[@keithwilson118]

Alex K. I agree. I didn't care for him before but within the last couple of months I have seen 25+ of his reviews and now I am putting him ahead of all others. Still not sure what he is saying at the end though "bis spater"?

[@robbae9307]

its German for 'till later

[@rroof]

Audi RS7 performance (605 HP currently) with electric motor added would be the closest I could think of. Though not sure that would be wise since in the same company/family. USA.

[@rodneypratt4324]

Finally, Porsche is doing the pin Panamera right! I don't think anybody can actually compete with that Beast.

[@andycarr9722]

Awesome video as usual. If Porsche put the e-hybrid tech in a 911. I'd be all over that. But panamera turbo e-hybrid. That's completely bad ass

[@ryanp135]

I'd take this over a Tesla, Benz, BMW, Rolls Royce any day of the week! You get what you pay for with a Porsche... Not just smoke and mirrors!

[@cascadian19]

I live on Vancouver Island and have the absolute pleasure of driving our roads in a 944 turbo. My vote for a new competitor car would be to see this technology in a Ford SHO. I had a ‘15 SHO which has the 3.5 twin turbo Ecoboost making 365 hp. If Ford could add electricity-recovering brakes etc like Porsche and add electric power then that car would be a more affordable super-performing hybrid. I’d love to be able to charge free at the electric stations here and cut down the amount of fuel I use for smaller trips. I really enjoyed the video, and I hope to drive that track one day! Thanks

[@sgbradley]

So glad you loved my little island, but a shame you didn't make it up to Campbell River. Hmm clear skies when you were filming tells me how long ago this was taped as Victoria has only a 3 klm view range with the #BCWildfires these days!

[@chrisogrady28]

Vancouver, van island, Victoria, and BC in general, are some of the most beautiful places in the world, and defiantly the top among English speaking areas. My and my friends are all planning a move from England to Vancouver soon.

[@RsSooke]

Awesome that you made the trip to our fair island. Great video!

[@halhansen778]

From NYC. If you need a four-door, you need a daily driver that you can put passengers in comfortably. As a passenger in the front or back seat, I do not want a bone jarring sport ride. Even as the driver I want a comfortable cruiser that smooths out bumps flawlessly, BUT, I want to push the sport button when I’m alone - tighten the suspension - and spank that baby. If I can do that and also get great mileage of a hybrid, AND the car is cool outside and in - you’ve created a car that is all things great.-

[@shannonjude1]

jaguar xj lwb. its by far the best looking and could use a little help in the sales dept. also jaguar has been killing it with its other cars.

[@MrBrownsvillesfinest]

@motoman I believe Mercedes benz should create a hybrid version of the S63 amg. Given merc's common concerns of power, weight, and transmission, adding a hybrid edition dubbed the S63 E amg (e-amg should be color-filled with blue lettering) will help the rear of the vehicle burn rubber more vigorously and efficiently. It can possibly make it the ultimate uber-luxury & track vehicle. No need for a powered rear-spoiler (although it's cool to have). If such a S-class was designed (such as the upcoming amg gt four door) it change the game for BMW/Audi/Lexus/Jaguar. A calm MSRP starting at $150,000 would be perfect with options adding up to $200,000.

[@jw6188]

@ MotoManTV This is gonna sound crazy... A G30 bmw 5 series shell with an Alpina leather interior, the s85 v10 tuned to 600 horsepower, a 150 hp electric motor to shut up the prius drivers, the steering rack from an e39 m5, AWD, carbon brakes, a carbon roof, doors, hood, and spoiler. Throw in a titanium exhaust and m performance bits and I'd drop 200k. It should also have a luxury line that hides all of the carbon bits and some decent air suspension.

[@siricharle8596]

There's no competition for this thing ...this is Porsche panamera turbo e hybrid it looks good too and is incredibly fast in this segment.

[@AamirJavedKhan]

Ohh you came to Vancouver island I wish I could have meet you hoped you liked it

[@TheKingkingg]

Awesome review, around Lake Superior in Ontario is awesome too

[@goktugkahraman9500]

competitors: tesla model s p100d, aston martin rapide, audi rs7, mercedes cls63, bmw m6 grand coupe and porsche probably want to compete with; mercedes s65, bmw m7, audi s8 plus, jaguar xj and finally this cars biggest enemy in terms of performance is e63s. right now this panamera is the best eye candy and performs perfectly, maybe next generation rapide will look better and performs better with their v12, but until then panamera is king of all sedans. I am from Turkey btw.

[@nielshunniche1]

We are a lot from Europe, please use also our measurements :-) Thanks Motoman

[@antd3467]

no cars can compared to this Panamera Turbo SE, better in every way

[@OmarG123]

Amazing video

[@robbae9307]

is there any difference in the 0-60 times of the long vs short wheel base?

[@eliasloozen7948]

Hi, don’t know if there is enough demand for this, but is it possible to spice up the tech talk? You’re an engineer, right? Telling more about the know how going into creating today cars. From making TRIP steel/weaving kevlar to tire rubber compound...

[@robbae9307]

UK, they should make an RS8 with around 700hp, and I would ~£140k for it with proper options (if I had the money of course!)

[@bbee8829]

Moto, Do you really believe that hybrids are the best direction for automotive makers to move in? Additionally, Do you think that the ever increasing complexity of automobiles is a recipe fo disaster by making machines that will spend more downtime than operating, like an old jaguar.

[@MotoManTV]

VERY good question for an #AskMotoManTV . . . Let me have a think on this . . .

[@abduallahalkhateeb9659]

MotoManTV I think you should answer now

[@abduallahalkhateeb9659]

MotoManTV any minute

[@knightwing4]

I'm a BMW fan. I've been one since driving a few on the Autobahn in the 80's so I'm gonna say BMW. I know the Porsche is almost as big as a 7 series but the design looks more Grand Coupe to me so I'm going to 6 series. I've been hearing about a new 8 series and if they do it maybe that will be a better choice but for now I'll say 6. One thing, I would like to have seen the inside and back seat of the regular wheelbase model.

[@Feger9]

my dream car!

[@riderchoBG]

2018 Audi S8 E-Tron? Maybe?

[@JovanKorica1]

Владимир Иванов doesnt exist

[@creativeplanet2820]

with that much weight, I doubt it needs down force !?!

[@peerimnetz]

Did he say *bis später* at the end?

[@russellhawkins2222]

Cool car...

[@nigelha3699]

GTC4 Lusso, If I had that much money I would buy the Ferrari, however at a lower price point the Sport Turismo makes a excellent pitch for my $

[@BMH1965]

Living in Europe we come to expect cars that are nimble and can handle corners. It is a very good car but way too expensive when compared to other options (RS7, M760, any large AMG, and the upcoming Bentley Continental Hybrid). And it is too heavy, by at least 200kg (420lbs) - they need to change the body materials to something lighter - if only to save the tyres. When the Bentley hybrid is released I expect that it will have a lot more power and torque than the Porsche but weigh only a little more - for the W12 expect something like 800BHP and 900Nm, and weigh about 2600Kg (about 5400lbs) and if mated to the V8 then still over 700BHP and 800Nm.

[@jandroider]

@MotoManTV the executive is actually longer than short wheel base 7series. Look up some facts before you do such video🤦🏻‍♂️

[@KvotheYSL21]

Audi RS7 - 700 bhp. $R8 money

[@niptodstan]

The new Bentley Continental has got virtually the same dash as this . Coincidence?

[@nawafnawaf-lp8cf]

I THINK with the power of this car it compete with ferari gtc4lusso

[@ronnie72063]

The bmw 6 sereis would be great competition the grand coupe i would split the electrification and ICE DOWN THE MIDDLE 400 HORSE POWER for each i hail from Trinidad in the Caribbean.

[@shopafelic]

Aston Martin Rapide S?

[@zackirstein9233]

Not remotely as powerful though :/

[@shopafelic]

Maybe an E-Hybrid would solve that :)

[@deemm1265]

Aston Martin Rapide the other competitor.

[@TheEryk03]

Is it have Audi engine?! Couse it sounds like RS7!

[@lamk9729]

nope

[@a93k]

Turbo S

[@robbae9307]

why did you comment this

[@Giorg189]

Sounds more like farting that sport exhaust

[@clegz2]

Audi RS7

[@claus1225]

model 3 with performance option 0-60 3.5s

[@bhujangrajendran5452]

Where are the tesla folks, lol they must somehow be trying to find ways to compare that pos with this car.

[@BremerBremer]

First

[@SamiKhan-hn3uk]

The Lexus LS500h can defeat this thing @MotoManTv

[@tonyd9312]

they better be using that flip out tray for a computer or tablet. I wish somebody would try to eat or drink in my car!! That's why cars need an eject lever.

[@tonyd9312]

LOL!! I'll not dignify that heinous comment with an answer. But i forgot to add....And don't slam my doors when you get in and out of my car either. P.s. I have a 2017 car and a 2000 nissan maxima which i'm about to replace. That 17yr old Maxima is cleaner and newer looking then most people's newer model cars. That's all I'll say.

[@ivanlowjones]

Tony D You got my vote brother....lol. I keep my car meticulously clean. The last 3 cars I traded in for new vehicles drew rave compliments from the dealership on the interior especially.

[@ARentz07]

That's me too! My car stays spotless, when most people I know keep all manner of junk in the floor, the back seat, etc.

[@tonyd9312]

ARentz07, I Know! They might as well be driving a garbage truck!

[@Riplure]

Audi RS7

[@TheDougSpot]

Gohan I was literally about to type that

[@FightScienceAa82]

Gohan Porsche is superior in handling, interior, track. RS7 runs super high boost, while Porsche is running very low boost. Equal boost (very cheap tune) Porsche crushes. The E Hybrid crushes the RS7 out of the box regardless

[@Riplure]

just wait for the new one

[@Hunter_Bidens_Crackpipe_]

RS7 crushes this bloated overcomplicated garbage. Funny thing, the Tesla S 100 also destroys it and is lighter than this car! How did they manage that...

[@ritihisena72]

Gohan not better than this one.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Back to GREAT MotorMan videos! It is not just that I like Porsche automobiles: this is a story about a great car, referring to its several body styles and helping us 'Dreamers' make a wish list for the Porsche of today that we might like to have...and to have our drivers use!

[@centerphil17]

I prophecy that Mercedes will come out with a Panamera fighter. Right now, Mercedes seems like the only German player that doesn't have a sportback/fastback four door in the game. Sure they have the couple-like CLS, but but still a sedan. Mercedes came out swinging against the 911 with the AMG GT. I bet Mercedes develops a hybrid AMG sportback that produces 650+ hp before 2020.

[@tt55k]

He did not mention , when driving that car on the hwy , the car engine will work a little harder and charge the battery in 40 min , so yes you can go on long trips with this car , without having to plug it in .

[@Cchichester]

"Somebody else's gas and tires" sounds like the ideal situation

[@MotoManTV]

It's the Dave Ramsey approved track day:)

[@IceDree]

As far as I know, the Brabus B50 S-class is the closest thing I can think of to the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid, but still 180 ponies short. Can you imagine how crazy an S65 AMG 4Matic+ hybrid will be? God daymn! I have a question, M, now that you drove 600hp+ cars with different propulsion combination as in different means to the same goal, which one do you prefer? An SCV8 like a Z06, Hellcat, CTS V? a TTV8 like the new x63 AMGs? A TTV12? or a Hybrid system like the Panamera?

[@e.simons6964]

Other than the P 100D...The Porsche Pan/trubo/SEhybrid is the only "sports" car of it's type. Porsche knows it's customer base, as well as Mercedes Benz and their competitors, BMW and AUDI.. All of these manufactures has their own "markets" that they sell to. I think that theses car makers are making cars for their specific cliental. All of these car makers realize who the performance manufacture is and it's Porsche for the performance minded, then the rest who make "sporty" cars. The AMG branch of MB has there "sporty" cars, but not in the same vain as Porsche does.

[@schip624]

I’m 100% sure that the lexus LS deserves a super powerful version. That car is fantastic, but it lacks the oomph. Id give it 650bhp and pay up to 140k.

[@Tbland0930]

The new Audi S8 Plus will probably have about 650 horsepower using the same 4.0L biturbo engine if I'm not mistaken.

[@amirjon]

Glad you liked Victoria! Did you drive in Vancouver too?

[@MotoManTV]

Nope . . . But if you check out our Sport Turismo episode (kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2WVZaaEm6xshK8) you will see how we got to Vancouver . . .

[@Dragox1998]

This or the e63s amg?

[@blackfish4674]

Sep this of course

[@patrickclarke3645]

So there will not be a gas engine Turbo S going forward?

[@3232schmitty]

You can get it either with or without the hybrid system

[@me2ontube]

the ugliest car ever built

[@robbae9307]

wrong.

[@brandonblack2095]

Bugatti is way faster

[@3232schmitty]

The Bugatti doesn't have four seats and a usable trunk

[@braydenmullins9018]

And about 2.7 million dollars cheaper

[@rolonow12]

Bugatti faster! SR71 was faster! Space Shuttle faster - pointless comments.
