We’ve already driven the Porsche Panamera S. The comfort oriented, two-wheel drive, normally aspirated version of the new four-seater left us feeling less than infused. Enter the Panamera Turbo, the twin-blown 4.8-litre V8 pinnacle of Porsche’s supercar-cum-limo.
Could the £100k Turbo be the Panamera we were hoping for?
Behind the wheel of the Panamera Turbo
Drop yourself into the Porsche’s seat and you find yourself sitting go-kart low in one of four identical, deeply contoured buckets. Despite measuring just 1418mm from road to roof, the Panamera Turbo does not suffer from a shortage of room.
On the beefy transmission tunnel sits a mass of buttons – the iDrive revolution seems to have gone unnoticed here. And because of the extra-dry ride, finding the desired spot on the faraway touch-screen monitor is quite a hit and miss affair. You’ve no choice but to use it, as the dozens of console buttons don’t control everything.
