Um this might come off as a person down talking the GTS cause I have the 4e hybrid.
But what the f is this really ?
It for some reason uses the v8 from the turbo but has 460hp, that’s a few hp less than my hybrid and only 20ish hp up on the 4s v6.
And it’s still turbo charged , I don’t know what the boost is dialed down to? 0.1 psi?
So basically it’s a turbo with 100ish hp
Less.
Now you can make any panamera look like this one, all you need is the sport design package, smoked lights and the sport exhaust system, these are the thing you get included in this car compares to let’s say my 4e hybrid.
So I configured one and it came out around 152k euro, mine was around 132k . Same exact options!
So I’m supposed to pay 20k more for 80nm less, 4 hp less and a waaay more shitty fuel consumption?
What do I gain which I can’t get on mine?, the split turbo wing, and alcantara seats and steering wheel.
Seems like a pretty shitty deal to me.
And don’t get me wrong I really adore that wing and I tried everything I could to get a alcantara steering wheel.
But 20k and the added cost of running the damn thing, I say no thank you.
The panamera 4 e hybrid remains the bargain of the line up, and if you feel that it’s to heavy and you want something lighter go with the 4 S and spec it like a GTS it will still save you round about 15-20k.
Still I will drive it and see what the difference really is.
Ps
They need to up the whole line up.
Should look like this and probably will with the facelift .
Turbo S e hybrid 730 hp
Turbo 600hp
GTS 500hp
4e hybrid 480hp
4s 460hp
Lower models than those don’t matter.
Anyway I’m happy I had a fear that the GTS will come out with a price tag close to mine and sporting a NA V8 or a tuned up v6TT and I would end up regretting that I pulled the trigger to early.
Thankfully that is not the case.
Please tell me if I’m blind and biased and missing the point with this GTS!

Why did you expect a V6? pitcher exhaust and high red line?

Is that the first porsche with HUD or the cayenne has it aswell?
I agree with LaArtist, this GTS doesn’t make too much sense.

Well, it is around 200kg lighter than the hybrid and probably a tune away from making turbo power and with a sexy alcantara interior. I wouldn't mind a carmine red wagon, but not pining for one either.

Because of downsizing and efficiency.

Yeah its those 200kgs and the wing and the alcantara. Somehow not worth 20k in my book.Well, it is around 200kg lighter than the hybrid and probably a tune away from making turbo power and with a sexy alcantara interior. I wouldn't mind a carmine red wagon, but not pining for one either.
When it comes to tunes you can tune the 4 e hybrid for 1500euros so the v6 makes 440hp plus the 130hp from the electric unit giving you 580hp 30 more than the turbo

You owe me sex, i had forgot about this.LOL, I am going to bookmark this. Will be great to name and shame.
^ and I truly hope this guy is like 2.50m. Looks very cramped to be honest. A 5er or E class has more space.
Other than this, the car is absolutely flawless looking. LOVE IT!!!!
New M5 did 7.38.92 and Panamera regular turbo 7.38
LOL
