Given the old model was almost a disaster, and as Porsche managed to produce some very competent SUVs, it is surprising that the new Panamera is an extremely competent sedan. He is a big, heavy animal, but controls his brochure with aplomb and surprising agility. It could not be a sports car, also apparently turbo, but it certainly has the ability to attract really good drivers.
An engine torque and a powerful new mixing double-clutch Panamera eight-speed for the decent pace.
The most important change is how the new car looks. It is far from the Porsche design language applied left and badly fagotée, proportions too narrow, too hard to research. This time the perspective of the Porsche family has adjusted much more success and the new Panamera is sleek, stylish and looks like the 911, the dignified elder brother and not the idiot of the village. A stylish three-piece retractable rear wing adds a drama, and although its movement is a touch up, you can still not enough, to develop it.
