Default Panamera Sets New Nürburgring Lap Record For Sedans

Beat the Caddy CTS-V's old record by 3 seconds.

Anyone starting to like it a little more?

Cool. Wonder if Mercedes will try with am AMG version of one of their sedans? Then Audi with a V10 S6 or S8. Should be fun to watch them vie for the fast lap

Next M5 in 1-2 years will set the record straight.

The performance of the Panamera is nice but it's too expensive for the turbo, the non-turbo models don't perform well enough for their pricetags, and all of them are ugly (objectively speaking!).
