The 2021 Panamera Turbo S is as Fast as a 3-year old 911 GT3 RS - One Take

[@rmp5s]

Wagons are better than SUVs. Change my mind.

[@the-boring-car-guy]

rmp5s this is an enthusiast channel ofc noone it's gonna disagree

[@AlumarsX]

@@the-boring-car-guy The excuses people that want SUVs tell themselves are ridiculous. Wagons4life

[@STRmw2]

i prefer wagons but SUVs have their own place and purposes

[@umah.]

SUV should be for off-road & bad surface road only. Sadly, SUV now pretends to be supercar too. Estate or MPV is the way to go for sure.

[@derbigpr500]

Which is why Europe is full of wagons, and not SUV's. SUV's are a waste for 99% of people who own them.

[@zackirstein9233]

Matt, it's not the Urus V8 🙂 "The car uses a quite widely updated version of the ‘EA825’" - "it’s the first car in the group to benefit from the new crankshaft, pistons, conrods, turbos and fuel injection system that Porsche has just fitted to that engine. Why not just shoehorn a more powerful version of the existing V8, such as the one from the Lamborghini Urus or Audi RS6 Avant, into the Turbo S instead? Well, you couldn’t, apparently. The ‘MSB’ platform the Panamera uses has a tighter engine bay than the ‘MLB-Evo’ layout used by the likes of the Urus, Bentayga, Cayenne and RS6, and it also obliges a twin-clutch rather than torque converter automatic transmission."

[@jareknowak8712]

Yes, but rotating assembly does not need more space under the hood. Im suprised that its not the exact same platform as Audi 6.

[@ciaranmurphy4940]

[@NoahBB]

Interesting. Thanks for the info.

[@aiGeis]

@@jareknowak8712 I agree, it would be stupid not to recycle a perfectly good bottom end from the other platform seeing how all the dimensions inside the engine are identical.

[@Rossski]

The wagon version is infinitely sexier

[@anthonyreed3763]

You beat me to it, this generation with the sport-wagon look is so much better looking than the previous generations imo

[@Nyjawonder]

Ill take it simply because of the rear bench seat which you cant get on the coupe

[@avalon9373]

no way

[@chrisj1612]

That's interesting cause I've already heard quite a few people saying that wagon looks sexier and I personally believe that hatchback looks a little bit better. It's probably the retractable rear spoiler that does it for me, plus the overall shape, sort of like an enlarged 911.

[@c.b.4916]

Sexy as in beyond stupid looking? Yeah agree for sure.

[@derbigpr500]

Imagine if Porsche made a small sedan, like 3 series sized....man that would be good.

I definitely prefer the Sport Turismo to the first generation hatchback, but boy they really nailed the proportions of the hatchback with the second generation. I hope to pick up one used in the next couple of years, and I am genuinely torn between the wagon and the second generation hatchback. I will probably end up with the latter just because of the limited availability of the former.

[@sportturismo_4s]

get the wagon bro. ive got one and I love it. looks way better

[@watwillwedonext]

How come the wagons are more limited?

[@Guy_de_Loimbard]

@@watwillwedonext Much smaller market for wagons, at least here in North America. The target market for wagons here shifted to minivans in the '80s and '90s, and then eventually to S/CUVs.

And the chains are there to drag on the ground and electrically ground the car so there's no risk of static buildup on the car resulting in a spark when you get out and touch something.

[@HZACHARY2004]

I am driving around in the last 991.2 911 4S. Reminds me of that. Way more power than you can use. Just goes flat and fast wherever you point it. How does Porsche improve performance every new model better than the car it replaces?

[@djpeak10]

Bro, those fly by shots are unreal! That thing is moving.....

[@vicksss8324]

Matt, I think the nurburgring time of the 991.1 gt3rs isn't set by Porsche, it's set by a journalist. If you look at .2 gt3rs (yes .2 is better but it's slight improvement) 991.2 gt3rs is a sub 7 min car. But great video thou. If we look at 991.1 3RS on Laguna Seca, it did 1:33 there ( 1 s faster than a 570s ).

Thanks for the review. Been hearing a lot about the car lately, glad to hear from someone who knows how to explain features/benefits.

[@WestCoastSupercarsandClassics]

I've had a Panamera S e Hybrid for more than 2 years, and I'm terribly jealous of the owners of the new Turbo S! The Pano is an epic road car in an age when most plebes buy SUV's because they think they 'need' the extra height, etc... truth is, for an enthusiast who wants a comfortable, luggage-hauling, great handling CAR, Porsche has just the ticket. The 2 door GTC4Lusso T costs almost $100K more, and I guess you could look at a BMW M8 but again you can't get the practicality of 4 doors either way.

[@leoahearn7382]

I tangled with a 2020 turbo a few weeks back in my 2014 GT3. It was headlight sucking fast.

[@wcmontana]

What do you prefer Matt? This, or RS6 Avant, or E63 AMG Wagon?

[@Matty18795]

Definitly the rs6 i just adore that car.

[@TheSmokingTire]

I prefer the handling of this to the RS6. IT's lighter on its feet. But it's a lot more expensive than E63 wagon.

[@andrelima5124]

These high performance sedans/wagons nowadays are SILLY fast man geez !

[@EGMedia1]

Sounds good on the standard exhaust too. Proper luxurious V8 rumble.

[@nicholassmith7048]

[@own3d4u]

I'd be curious what your review of a 'normal' Porsche would be, such as a base 911 or a Cayenne.

[@jryalls]

Now that the GTS has effectively the same engine you could probably save a bunch of money buying one of those and remapping it. I wonder how much of the internals and things are different.
