because driving one Porsche wasn’t good
enough we had to drive to the 4s and the
turbo back-to-back hi I’m Miranda light
stone with watchmojo.com and this is
Porsches idea of a practical sedan the
Panamera if you’ve ever sat in a Porsche
before you’ll realize the Panamera is
extremely different interior design
first of all you have this much larger
middle console that houses all the
necessary buttons you need to make your
ride more comfortable and more sporty
and you’d think that this would take up
a great deal of space because of the
Porsche you usually have your shifter
your armrest your cupholders and that’s
it
but an actual fact that makes the car a
lot more functional and you want these
buttons here they’re in just the right
place the Panamera like other Porsches
in the lineup features a touchscreen
entertainment system where you can
access all the cars information if you
don’t want to use that system then you
have the option of an in-dash screen
that you can scroll through on the
steering wheel and you can access oil
pressure tire pressure and your iPod
list see where you’re going on a
navigation screen or if you’re lucky
enough to put your Porsche on the track
you even have a timer to see your
fastest lap obviously the most unique
feature of the Panamera is the fact that
it has a functional back seat where two
full-size adults can sit quite
comfortably now in the past the back
seat has kind of seemed like a joke to
Porsche after sitting in the back of a
911 Turbo I can attest to that however
in the Panamera you have comfort and you
have luxury where 8 way adjustable seats
are available as well as an auxiliary
port if there was an entertainment
package where passengers could hook up
their iPod one of the coolest features
on the Panamera in my opinion is the
fact that it actually has a functional
trunk they usually in a Porsche the
trunk is in the bonnet and is barely big
enough to fit a cooler and if you need
more space you can push down the back
seats not fantastic
driving in the 4s is pretty much like
driving in any other Porsche they really
kept performance in mind when they
created the Panamera and in this
particular model it’s equipped with
all-wheel drive which is great for
winter driving and you can also adjust
the ride height so last week I was lucky
enough to be in the Panamera 4s and I
truly thought that was a really fast
Porsche but this week I’m in the turbo
and let me tell you it’s an entirely new
level of fast even though it’s only 100
horses difference between the 4s and the
turbo for us having 400 and a turbo
having 500 it’s a massive difference
when you’re behind the wheel you feel
the power in the turbo you really do and
you almost have to be very careful about
when you actually stamp on the throttle
you need to make sure you have enough
space and you can control the car
because it’s so fast if you’re lucky
enough to have a Porsche equipped as a
PDK which is the Porsche of double
coupling dual clutch transmission then
you’re also lucky enough to be able to
do a controlled want you also need the
car to have a Sport Plus mode so
basically what you do is select Sport
Plus which tightens the chassis lowers
the car and gives it a sporty or feel it
even gives it a bit of an overboost put
it into drive smash your left foot on
the brake which is highly unnatural and
then get on the bottle and go
for 2010 Porsche introduced a brand new
transmission system the PDK or Porsche
double coupling a long complicated
german word that basically means a dual
clutch transmission and what that means
that the gear above or below is already
engaged so if you’re in second start is
ready to go or first if you really want
to shift down to first what you never
really show if you’re in third second is
ready to go or fourth is ready to go now
I tried my best to confuse this system
to make it laggy or lurchy or
uncomfortable in any way which fit often
is when you have a sport shift
transmission like this but Porsche has
managed to create the system and it’s so
flawless shift up shift down the system
is ready to go it’s gonna speed you up
or slow you down depending on which gear
you’re going to it doesn’t matter it’s
going to do it to perfection the look of
a Porsche Panamera is quite polarizing a
lot of people look at the car and think
oh my god that’s not a Porsche it’s so
ugly but really if you take a closer
look at it it clearly has the Porsche
lines from nose to tail and even has a
signature little wing that pops up when
you hit the highway
