Porsche Panamera test drive since 2009 hatchback

Porsche Panamera Turbo Test drive: Four Four

Modern auto industry is akin to professional boxing. Car classes are weight categories, comparative tests of fights in the ring. Similarities can be listed. With the development of the automotive industry, manufacturers are forced to come up with more and more tricks in order to interest the sophisticated customers.
So designers have to translate cars from one class to another, as well as boxers who have become champions in the same weight category, gain weight and try to achieve success in the new field. A blow, another blow!
Porsche, which, despite its conservatism, was forced to step on the path of rational economic progress, began with the executive of the medium -sized Porsche Cayenne crossover, which literally pulled the company from the crisis and allowed Porsche and further develop its sports models. But competitors do not doze, and the German trinity in BMW, Audi and Mercedes with frightening frequency releases more and more modifications of the bodies.

 
Panamera is 100% recognizable. In front of a traditionally massive bumper, eye headlights, a trapezoidal hood cover and pronounced wheel arches, emphasizing the sports genealogy panamers.
Porsche, which produced an uncompromising car that does not fit any class, but at the same time, looks like many. This is Porsche Panamera. Honestly, before you get behind the wheel, I managed to see the panamer live only a couple of times, and even then near the Porsche car dealership. Sedan, hatchback, sedanohtchbek? Looking closely, you understand: this is no doubt a five -door hatchback.

Inside the chic shine beauty. Finishing at the highest level! High -quality skin, wooden inserts. All at the level. Ergonomics in Porshevski is verified to the smallest detail. Seats in sporting tough with excellent lateral support.
Despite the fact that the light has not yet seen such Porsche, Panamera is 100% recognizable. In front of a traditionally massive bumper, eye headlights, a trapezoidal hood cover and pronounced wheel arches, emphasizing the sports genealogy panamers. A powerful feed, a familiar silhouette of LED lamps and the diverseness of the front and posterior axes are cast in the back of the eye. And only the profile of Porsche Panamera with a negligible rear wing, bloodthirsty stamping on the front wings and a hunchbacked silhouette causes conflicting feelings. Original? Undoubtedly. Handsomely? Question. There is nothing to be done, this is the peculiarity of the hatchback body layout, although I think that in the headquarters in Stuttgart with Panamera's exit, this word is not complained of. It is very not Porshevskoye and not sports.

At the back of a powerful feed, a familiar silhouette of LED lamps and the multiplicity of the front and rear axles.
And so, it happened! Before me is the gray-blue Panamera Turbo with optional 20-inch alloy disks. Behind 2 double pipes of the release system. The anterior optics consists of 4 bright LED sources that terrify the front transport in daylight. With the near light, the yeast is illuminated by the rotary b-ksenon.
But the chic is the spoiler leaving the back cover, which appears at a speed of more than 90 km/h. Moreover, in the Turbo version, it is divided in the middle, moving apart to the left and right. Real transformer! And starting at a speed of 205 km/h, the mechanism automatically changes the angle of attack to increase the clamping force.

All familiar and familiar ends when the gaze falls on the central tunnel between the front seats. Around the PDK selector placed a placer, similar to the keyboard of Luxury-telephones Vertu. There is nothing to be done - a tribute to the business class.
Frankly, knowing that under the hood of the new antennemotor Panamera Turbo is a Bi-Turbo eight of 4.8 liters, issuing 500 hp. And 700 Nm, I expected a little other emotions and sensations from this car. And this does not mean at all that Panamera disappointed and did not justify hopes.
After the first kilometers, it became clear that the new five-door piston was not a hard four-seater sports car, but a completely comfortable business class, but only a special sharp sauce, which is stored under the Porsche headquarters in Stuttgart under the Zasov family.
By the way, a 500-horsepower engine with minimal changes in the settings was borrowed from Cayenne Turbo. The basic configuration for Russia offers a 7-speed robotic box with two clutch Porsche Doppelkuplung (PDK) and Porsche Traction Management (PTM) with all-wheel drive and an electronically regulated multidimensional coupling, the blocking range from zero to a hundred percent.
I sit inside and immediately recognize Porushevsky a hard chair with excellent lateral support and a sports steering wheel that migrated here from the 911st model. The instrument panel, consisting of five wells, is also familiar, but only now in one of them can a color image of the navigation system be displayed. Comfortable!
All familiar and familiar ends when the gaze falls on the central tunnel between the front seats. Around the PDK selector placed a placer, similar to the keyboard of Luxury-telephones Vertu. Donation of a business class. Stylish, but to learn how to use these keys blindly, you need more than one day.
The key, as befits a business class, is in a pocket, but Panamera starts up in a poruski with the help of the handle to the left of the steering wheel. The rear sofa is placed strictly for two passengers, in the arsenal of which there is an adjustment of inclination of the back and length of the pillow, as well as a pair of comfortable boxes for storing trifles, two cup holders and individual microclimate adjustment. There are enough places for bosses only if they are not the leaders of the basketball team.

There are enough places for bosses only if they are not the leaders of the basketball team.
The luggage volume is 432 liters (in an atmospheric version of 13 liters more), and if you fold the rear row of seats, then Porsche Panamera can turn into a practical hatchback and take 1250 liters of cargo on its side. The back door is equipped with a servo. Under the floor, neither the spare tire nor the dok, you will not find only the remote control, compressor and a large amplifier of the optional Burmister audio system.
I turn the coveted handle to the left of the steering wheel, the tachometer arrow soars up, and a pleasant vibration of the mighty V8 runs along the body. The PDK box selector in the Drive mode, and the almost 5-meter hatchback begins to be delayed from the parking lot. Already the first kilometers of the journey showed that Panamera is not an ultimatic sports car, like the 911st family, but a completely comfortable car. The steering wheel is easier, the reactions are calmer, the suspension is softer.
In normal mode, you can safely move around the city jungle or go along the highway outside the city, without experiencing discomfort from oak suspension. Only the chassis to the road trifle, whether it be small cracks in the asphalt or light ripples on the surface, resembles too closely about the sports spirit. In addition, too long pauses are annoyed when switching the box to the lower steps.
The character changes if on the keyboard of the impromptu vertu to find the Sport key. Now the PDK box reacts faster to the driver’s whim, and the suspension is poured with the same Passhevskaya elasticity. However, with the PDK transmission, you can find a common language without switching to sports mode. To do this, literally a second before overtaking, you need to briefly stomp on the tight pedal of the accelerator, and the box will immediately jump down a couple of steps down, providing the driver with a map of 500 hp. Under the hood. And they are quite enough to make a small jerk in time, while experiencing completely unearthly overloads. In addition, not even in combat mode, if the selector is in the position of the automatic mode, for the fastest jerk you can change the gear manually using switches.

I recognize a familiar panel of devices consisting of five wells, but only now in one of them can a color image of the navigation system be displayed. Comfortable!
In sports, everything is different. Here it is, a real Stuttgart spirit! The reactions worsened, the suspension was tightened, and the box shot and now does not sin with delay. At the same time, Panamera is still moderately comfortable. Only the notorious road trifle announces even more to passengers in the cabin.

The 500-horsepower engine with minimal changes in the settings was borrowed from Cayenne Turbo. The basic configuration for Russia offers a 7-speed robotic box with two clutch Porsche Doppelkuplung (PDK) and Porsche Traction Management (PTM) with all-wheel drive and an electronically regulated multidimensional coupling, the blocking range from zero to a hundred percent.
And with what juicy smacking of a large piston is screwed into the turn! Mindful of the almost two -ton mass, before the entrance to the turn we perform a slightly larger ruler’s argument, and with a small roll impressive hatchback dutifully fulfills the driver's desires. Of course, this is not the surgical accuracy of the medium -meter Porsche Cayman or Matra Carrera. The panamer needs to be carried out with a adjustment to the mass. And if you do everything for a split second earlier than common sense suggests, it is tovot, Pisthevskaya controllability! Stunning stability on the arc. The turn can be held on gas - Panamera Turbo is already equipped with an active all -wheel drive transmission with a connected front axle and an electron -regulated multi -disc clowing that distributes the moment between the rear wheels. As a result, an amazing holder in a bend at prohibitive speed. And what if you add? No, perhaps I will not. Scary, after all, 8.6 million rubles are not a joke for you. Although I have no doubts that Panamer can do it. If only they would not let down their strengths.

The rear right passenger can move the front right chair! The hint that the panamer is not bad to go as a passenger.

On the straight Porsche Panamera at home. Excellent stability at any speed, sports effort on a three -spoke trunk and a clear response to any steering wheel movement. Bliss! I wish I could try Panamer on an ideal German autobahn. With the advent of the rut, the hot business-hatch begins to be nervous: 20-inch optional discs with wide rubber requires the ultimate concentration and attentiveness of the steering.
Crazy acceleration in the entire speed range. The pedal to Paul and Panamera rushes forward with the ease of the cheetah that saw prey. And if there is a Sport Chrono Plus package, you can fully feel a fist of rage, which is at the attack with lightning speed. The right leg on the accelerator, the left on the brake, on the instrument panel lights up Launch Control Activated, a short-term 10 percent raising of the boost pressure occurs in the bowels of the motor, and the torque increases by 70 nm (from 700 to 770nm). Another second. Hit! Porsche shoots, washing temporary faces. Everyone who stood nearby immediately dissolved in the rear view mirror. Is there a joke, 4 seconds to hundreds. Passengers are crushed into seats worse than at the start of the aircraft.
When the Sport Plus mode is turned on, the panamer is compressed, the suspension overtakes, the reactions are aggravated to the limit, and a large hatchback becomes like a superport of the 911th series. And only a slightly more imposing steering wheel and increased mass gives out a business-oriented hatchback, disguised under the skin of a sports car with just one key on the improvised Vertu keyboard. A real fist of rage!
The cost of the top version of Porsche Panamera Turbo in Russia begins from the mark of 7 million rubles. A car that has visited the test, taking into account additional options, including interior decor elements, ceramic brake mechanisms, 20-inch discs, Sport Hrono Plus package, adaptive cruise control, fraudenial ventilation and many other options, will cost 8 650 214 rubles.
As an option for Panamera, a composite ceramic brake system Porsche (PCCB) is offered. For Panamera S, it is offered only in combination with wheels with a diameter of 19 inches, and for Panamera Turbo with 20-inch wheels RS Spyder Design. The price bites - 385 thousand rubles.
 
Enhanced doors contribute to the greater stiffness of the body structure. The aluminum subframe of the front suspension additionally increases passive safety due to its targeted deformation. The hood, wings, doors and the back cover are made of aluminum, this allows you to save mass.
 
The final system Panamera Turbo has two operating modes: with moderate sound at low speeds and loads, as well as with improved throughput at high speeds and at full load. If desired, an optional sports system is offered for all Panamera models. The nature of the sound can be changed with a key in the cabin.
 
The front suspension is an aluminum suspension with far sprinkled double transverse levers and aluminum subframe, which allows reducing the forces that occur in the suspension of the wheels. The rear suspension is an aluminum multi -link. This design minimizes unwanted clinks when accelerating and inhibition
 
Under the hood of Panamera Turbo is a 4.8-liter V8 engine with two turbines, direct fuel injection and a boiler of a boost air with a capacity of 500 hp. at 6000 rpm. The maximum torque of 700 nm is achieved in the range from 2250 to 4500 rpm. Maximum speed: 303 km/h. Acceleration to 100 km/h takes 4.2 seconds. The Launch Control system, which is part of the optional Sport Chrono Turbo package, stops the stopwatch at a mark of 4.0 s
 
Panamera Turbo has two parallel turbochargers one for each row of cylinders. The absorbed air enters the turbochargers through a common air filter. The air is compressed and directed to the engine through intermediate coolers one by one for each row of cylinders. Cooling gives a double effect: the filling of the cylinders improves and the temperature of the parts decreases. The pressure pressure at full load depends on the speed and at sea level reaches the maximum value of 0.85 bar at 2500 rpm.
