A few weeks ago Porsche sent us to Oregon to test the entire Panamera line-up. Conspicuously absent from the models present was the Panamera Turbo S. Now we know why. The new top model in the Panamera range will make its world premier at the Tokyo Motor Show November 20-21, 2013. The 2014 Porsche Panamera Turbo S Price, Pictures and Specs after …

The Panamera has been a subject of ongoing derision among some Porsche fans since it was introduced in 2009.  We've heard the uninitiated say things like, “It’s not a ‘real’ Porsche”, or that "it dilutes the brand’s history". I'm here to tell you that after spending two days immersed in the Panamera line-up that even if I might somewhat agreed with …

Being that the E-Hybrid was one of the main attractions on this press excursion, the keys to the three European spec cars were snatched up as quickly as possible, and I had to wait my turn.  When I did get behind the wheel, though, what I found was certainly interesting.  This car feels exactly like a Panamera, it looks exactly like a Panamera, and …

To truly review this Panamera they way it was meant to be used would require a chauffer. As Porsche didn't offer one up I took myself for a drive and promptly got lost, intentionally.  I ended up nearly an hour away from where I was supposed to be.  This was through no fault of the navigation system, as I didn't use it.  The secret is that this …

This is a story about a button. Not just any button mind you, but one that has the ability to transform things, like my opinion, and the driving characteristics of the 2014 Panamera 4S. But wait, I'm getting ahead of myself. You see, at first drive, I was underwhelmed with the changes made to the new Panamera 4S.  The new engine, a 3.0 liter …

To provide a good bookend for my time with the Panamera lineup, I decided to end the trip with the two-wheel-drive version of the car I drove first, the Panamera S.  After a palette cleansing dinner, wine tasting, and an adequate amount of sleep, I woke up with a fresh perspective, and I am glad that I saved this one for last, because it surprised …

The beauty of this weekend with the entire Panamera line-up was the ability to jump from one end of the spectrum to the other and experience each of these sedans as compared to the others. On that note, to end my day, I stepped out of the e-hybrid directly into the GTS. I'd never driven a GTS before, and I was excited to finally put foot to pedal. …

I know, I know, for some the mere idea of the Panamera is blasphemy. Too bad! I don't care. I can't help myself. The Panamera has grown on me (a far cry from my first impressions) and I'm now hoping that John will replace his MB with a Panamera when that time comes. Even if you're not a huge fan of the way they look, you need to drive one before …

Porsche has always built sports cars with an impulse to move forward, to be faster, to come in first. This philosophy is deep in their genes, not only when it comes to crossing the finishing line, but with new ideas, too. So it's normal for them to move forward in new directions. Directions like the Panamera S E-Hybrid. Watch the video below to …
