I was just able to get an order in at 8% discount on a turbo build from an out of state dealership, but I was curious as to if anyone here has a 4s non diesel that would not mind making a clip of exhaust and one while driving, along with your review on it.

Honestly the main reason I went turbo was because of the discount and I had heard the non v8 did not sound good unless pushing it. Being mainly a sports motorcycle rider I am in love with how whatever transportation I'm using sounds. I know a v8 is always going to be more distinct but I don't know how far off things can be with the chrono and exhaust or if there are after marking tunings that wont mess with warranty.

I've been all over youtube and there is not many 17 panamera videos that are not either turbo or the diesel.

My Panamera 4 sounds pretty aggressive in Sport or Sport+ mode. I usually drive in normal settings as a daily drive.

Although if I had the option of a turbo, I'd do it. I mean, extra power is always great

Anyone way you could get a clip of start up/different ways to hear exhaust?

I know I'll love the turbo, especially with the deal lol, but with the build wait for months, had me playing with different models and knowing that the sound is one of the main things drawing me to the turbo(of course performance is better but not that often will I be able to push it in my crappy state of Virginia lol), starting to think about dropping to 4s if I can get similar deal.

But YouTube only has 4s diesel models, I can probably find a local dealer but I know they probably not going to be interested if they don't think there will be a sell.

Sounds good to me

i do agree it sounds good, but this is not how the other ones on YouTube sound and add more confusion for what I'm looking for. Like it says it's a 2016, the new models/changed version started 2017 I thought? But it looks like it has the new taillights.
It also does not mention if it's not a 4s diesel or not. Main reason I'm trying to hopefully have someone on here who would not mind recording with their iPhone or something and posting.

I definitelly wont regret the turbo, but I guess if an extra 40k or so saved if I would be satisfied with the 4s sound wouldn't be to bad either lol.

Not a chance that is a diesel!

That is the new model - 4S. Very different sound to the chug chug chug of a v8.

the video does says 2016 4s though, which is one thing that threw me off lol, because the new models are 17+

^ What do you mean new models are 17+? That's definitely the newest Panamera available, and in fact production cars were manufactured in late 2016 too

usmc

the video says it is a 2016 Panamera, but because of taillight I assume it's a 2017, because 2016 models did not have the change. Or are you saying they made 2016 old models and still 2016 new version models?

I was stating that's one reason for my confusion, because I have not heard any videos on YouTube sound as that one for a 4s and also that wasn't diesel, so then with them having the model year wrong(?) I don't really know what to go off of lol.

Why don't you jump on a 2017 Turbo? Dealers are offering up to 12% off MSRP on 17 Turbo models.

I haven't seen anything higher than the 8% I have on a 18 turbo build, most dealer vehicles I have seen are thousands higher because they included options I don't care at all for like rear and side blinders, 18 way seats and a few other random things that hike up price to higher than my discounted 18 build with my options.

Along with most of the panamaeras I've seen sitting, are black or white, I don't think most dealers order them out of the basic color ways, with almost all having the turbo rims on them. I just think if someone gonna drop 150k+ on a vehicle, should be getting exactly what you want lol.

I was just more so looking to see how 4s with exhaust systems sounded, as I hadn't taken the time to even give it a thought once I came across a turbo discount

Would you mind sharing which dealers were offering 12% off MSRP on 2017 Turbo models? Please PM me.

Thanks for your help!
