Panamera [Official] Porsche Panamera (971)

[Tnthegreat]

The same car starts at $269433 AUD, before any option, and those wheels you have selected cost over $10000 AUD !!!!

Well that is still cheaper than my country which is top 3 places of highest car price. The standard Panamera 4 ( we dont have 4 hybrid ) costs roughly 255k USD and the standard Panamera Turbo costs roughly 511k USD. The funny thing is our average salary is 200$ per month though.

I like the Panny inside out, however which the profile of the turismo was a slightly shorter. It looks too stretched out.

I can only assume country like yours, along with Singapore, HK wants to actively discourage car ownership to resolve congestion and pollution issues, while in Sydney..we need to drive.

If everything you said is true, I would happy about it. But our government considered car as a luxury goods and they set prohibitive taxes on it. For examples Mazda CX-5 costs about 45k, standard BMW 320i 70k, standard Cayman 718 170k, BMW M4 198k, LX 570 380k, 911 GT3 RS 560k, RR Ghost Series II EWB 2.2 million

@LaArtist, I really don't think the red color looks good on the Panamera, even with the sports package.

Yeah its really hard to photograph, the dealer told me to come and see the wagon in carmine red, much better in real life. But still the read does not play well on this shape. The first gen panamera worked very well in carmine red.
So basically red is out the window.

Just...WOW !


22" rims ?

 

[sako97]

That example looks great static.

Yeah, the rims are 22' aftermarket versions of the 21' OEM Turbo version. I would not trust them over potholes and city driving. It's also lowered significantly, which usually doesn't bode well for ride quality.

 

[Tarek]

Looks great in that shot but i'd definitely keep the OEM 21 ones instead of those 22 ones..just too big.

Horrible exhaust horrible wheels

Damn this Panny is so fast!

PTS Ice Blue Turbo S e-hybrid with every single option ticked... This costs the same (or more) as a well-equipped new Continental GT W12... I know which one I'm picking. FU money for the owner though.

 

[LaArtist]

Sweet, but there are some killer pts colors and he picked baby blue lol.

Anyway interior is on point, it’s neaely identical to mine.

Doesn't have the 18-way adaptive sport seat... which should be standard on the top ranging Panamera I think.

If you want the seat ventilation with massage feature, you can't get have the 18 way seats.

If you want the seat ventilation with massage feature, you can't get have the 18 way seats.

If you just want ventilation you can have it on the adaptive sport seats, for the massage function you have to go toward the 14-way "comfort"... Also, on the LWB "Executive" Turbo S e-hybrid the 18-way are not even available.

Personnally I would prefer better lateral support than massage function.

Looks like I might've found the replacement for the Model S, if I can work out a good deal. A few missing options are bothering me a bit though. I'm also weighing in if the just released 4 e-hybrid's fuel efficiency figures are worth it. EPA figures still not released; takes forever now thanks to Diesel-gate...

Usually I'm anti-black interiors:

 

[Serpens]

It's pretty. The driver's side bolster already seems to be showing wear, which I find surprising.

Yeah, I noted that... a bit unbecoming for a Porsche. Apparently it was sitting in the showroom for sometime. I hate the way black leather creases over time.

Thats not an e hybrid, there is a huge diff in consumption between the 4eh and the 4s, and power is about the same.
Obviously the consumption is not what Porsche states 2.5l/100km. But I’m hearing from owners 5.9-6.4ish and that’s freaking great for something north of 2 tonne with 465hp.

Personally I hate the back interior in this car as it’s so pretty, the blackness takes away and hides the details and finesse of the interior. But it is the most popular and easy to sell, I see 5 black ones before I see 1 of a different color.
