Default Panamera 4 delivered

Just got my wife's Panamera 4 today.

Carrara white with grey interior, this combo turns out much nicer than I thought.

Initial impression this car is very comfortable for 4 people. If you don't need to carry 5, this is the car to get.

Don't ask me how fast it is...as it is the slowest Porsche in my garage.

If I buy the turbo, it will be for me, not her.

I'm looking forward to the 2 doors version (?928) in cab with turbo.

Had some more driving last night, the car is just too comfortable, and rear passengers just love sitting at the back.

Please comment on the V6. How does it compare to the V8? Non-turbo of course. I have only sat in the Panamera and realize it is a big car. Really curious how a V6 does with all that weight.

car still breaking in, so I cannot really give you a very good idea.

PanS definitely faster, but from Porsche website Pan4 only 0.5 sec slower 0-62 compared to PanS, which sounds pretty good.

The Pan4S that I test drove with sport-plus button pushed is much faster by comparison to the V6, but this Pan4S is much slower than my GT3RS. Hope that helps.

Thanks, always interested to hear from real world driving. I have a 06 Cayenne S and I think it has more than enough HP for a SUV. Versus a pre-06 Cayenne V6, it is way underpowered IMO. However, the 08+ Cayenne V6 from what I gathered is much improved and almost as good as the V8. And given the Panamera uses the same V6 while moving less mass but still a very big car... That's why I am curious.

TT what is the sound like from the 6?

i can guess it is slower - but think of driving it to whistler with a lot of snow around - more than enough speed?

i like the white on grey - had that combo in the past for the spouse

Quiet, nothing like the V8.

It is so quiet that you don't feel like driving fast.
