Test Drive Porsche Panamera S Hybrid since 2011 Hatchback

Test Drive Porsche Panamera Turbo: Fist Freak

Modern auto industry is akin to professional boxing. Classes of cars are weighing categories, comparative tests of fights in the ring. Similarities can be listed. With the development of the automotive industry, manufacturers are forced to invent all new and new tricks in order to interest sophisticated customers.
So the designers have to translate cars from one class to another, as well as boxers who have become champions in one weight category, gain weight and try to achieve success in a new field. Punch, still kick!
Porsche, which, despite its conservatization, was forced to step on the path of rational economic progress, began with the super-sized Porsche Cayenne crossover, which literally pulled out the company from the crisis and allowed Porsche and further develop his sports models. But competitors are not dormant, and the German Trinity as part of BMW, Audi and Mercedes with frightening periodicity produces more and more new body modifications.

 
Panamera is 100% recognizable. The front is traditionally massive bumper, the headlights of the head light, the trapezoid cover of the hood and pronounced wheeled arches, emphasizing the sports pedigree Panamera.
I did not exception and the company Porsche, who released an uncompromising car, which is not suitable for any class, but at the same time it looks like many. This is Porsche Panamera. Honestly, before sitting behind the wheel, I managed to see the Panamera live only a couple of times, and then near the Porsche car dealership. Sedan, hatchback, sedanoTechbek? Looking around, you understand: this is without a doubt five-door hatchback.

Inside chic glitter beauty. The finish at the highest level! High-quality leather, wooden inserts. All at level. Ergonomics on the briefers is adjusted to the smallest detail. Sports seats hard with excellent side support.
Despite the fact that there are no light yet, Panamera is 100% recognizable. The front is traditionally massive bumper, the headlights of the head light, the trapezoid cover of the hood and pronounced wheeled arches, emphasizing the sports pedigree Panamera. A powerful feed, familiar silhouette of LED lamps and bulking of the front and rear axles, rushes at the eyes. And only the Porsche Panamera profile with a negligible back wing, bloodthirsty emptyings on the front wings and hunchbow silhouette causes conflicting feelings. Origine? Unquestioned. Nice? Question. Nothing can be done, this is the feature of the layout of the hatchback body, although it seems to me that in the headquarters in Stuttgart with the release of Panamera, this word is not complaining. It is very not Pravosravsky and not sports.

Rearly powerful feed, familiar silhouette of LED lamps and bulking of the front and rear axles.
And so, happened! Before me, gray-blue Panamera Turbo with optional 20-inch alloy discs. Rear 2 dual pipes of the release system. The front optics consists of 4 bright LED sources that are terrified on ahead of daylight mode. With the nearby light, the twist lights the rotary bi-xenon.
But the most chic is a spoiler from the back cover, which appears at speeds of more than 90 km / h. And in the TURBO version, it is divided in the middle, moving down to the left and right. Real transformer! And starting from a speed of 205 km / h, the mechanism automatically changes the angle of attacks to increase the clamping force.

Everything familiar and familiar ends when the look falls on the central tunnel between the front chairs. Around the PDK selector, there were scatter keys, similar to Vertu Luxury-Phone Keyboard. Nothing can be done - tribute to the business class.
To be honest, knowing that under the hood of the new front-engine Panamera Turbo is the bi-turbo eight of 4.8 liters, outstanding 500 hp and 700 nm, I waited for this car a little other emotions and sensations. And this does not mean at all that Panamera disappointed and did not meet hope.
Already after the first kilometers, it became clear that the new five-door Porsche is not a tough clear sports car, but a completely comfortable business class, but only a special sharp sauce, whose recipe is kept under the seven docks at Porsche headquarters in Stuttgart.
By the way, a 500-strong engine with minimal settings borrowed from Cayenne Turbo. In the basic configuration for Russia, a 7-speed robotic box with two clutches of Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) and Porsche Traction Management (PTM) and Porsche Traction Management (PTM) with a full-wheel drive and electronically regulated multi-disc clutch, the blocking range from zero to one hundred percent.
I sit inside and immediately recognize the stamp-headed chair with excellent side support and sports steering wheel, moving here from the 911st model. Familiar and instrument panel consisting of five wells, but now in one of them you can withdraw a color image of the navigation system. Conveniently!
Everything familiar and familiar ends when the look falls on the central tunnel between the front chairs. Around the PDK selector, there were scatter keys, similar to Vertu Luxury-Phone Keyboard. Tribute business class. Stylish, but to learn how to use these keys blindly, you need not one day.
The key, as it should be the business class, in your pocket, but Panamera in Pravosvska will start using the handle to the left of the steering wheel. The rear sofa is molded strictly for two passengers, in the arsenal of which there is adjustment of the tilt of the back and the length of the pillow, as well as a pair of comfortable boxes for storing small things, two cup holders and individual microclimate adjustments. Places for bosses is quite enough, only if they are not the leaders of the basketball team.

Places for bosses is quite enough, only if they are not the leaders of the basketball team.
The volume of the trunk is 432 liters (at the atmospheric version of 13 liters more), and if you fold the rear row of seats, the Porsche Panamera can turn into a practical hatchback and take on board a 1250 liters of cargo. The rear door is equipped with a servo. Under the floor, neither the reservoir, nor the feed you detect only Remkomplekt, the compressor and the large amplifier of the optional BURMISTER audio system.
Turn the cherished handle to the left of the steering wheel, the tachometer arrow swears up, and a pleasant vibration of a mighty V8 runs along the body. The PDK box selector into Drive mode, and almost a 5-meter hatchback begins to venture from the parking lot. Already the first kilometers of the way showed that Panamera is not an ultimate sports car, like the 911th family, and quite a comfortable car. The steering wheel is easier, the reaction is calmer, the suspension is softer.
In normal mode, you can safely move around the city jungle or go along the highway for the city, while not experiencing discomfort from the oak suspension. About the sporting spirit reminds only that the chassis is too close attention to road trivia, whether small cracks in the asphalt or light ripple on the surface. In addition, they annoy too long pause when switching the box to lower steps.
The character changes if on the keyboard improvised Vertu find the Sport key. Now the PDK box reacts faster to the driver's whims, and the suspension is poured by that brushev elasticity itself. However, with the PDK transmission you can find a common language and without transition to the sports mode. For this, literally per second before overtaking, you need to shut briefly on the accelerator's tight pedal, and the box will immediately jump on a pair of steps down, providing a card-blanche driver from 500 hp under the hood. And they are quite enough to make a small jerk in time, having experienced completely unearthly overload. In addition, not even in combat mode, if the selector is in the auto-mode position, for the most rapid, the lean can be changed manually using switches.

I recognize the familiar instrument panel, consisting of five wells, but now one of them can withdraw a color image of the navigation system. Conveniently!
In sports, everything is different. Here he is, the real Stuttgart Spirit! The reactions were aggravated, the suspension was fastened, and the box was shooting and no longer sinned by delays. At the same time, Panamera is still easy to comfort. Only the notorious road trifle sharpens passengers in the cabin even stronger.

The 500-strong engine with minimal settings was borrowed from Cayenne Turbo. In the basic configuration for Russia, a 7-speed robotic box with two clutches of Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) and Porsche Traction Management (PTM) and Porsche Traction Management (PTM) with a full-wheel drive and electronically regulated multi-disc clutch, the blocking range from zero to one hundred percent.
And with what juicy halocity of the big porsch screws into the turn! After the almost two-tont mass, after entering the turn, we perform a little greater steering of the steering wheel, and with a small roll, an impressive hatchback pounds the driver's desires. Of course, this is not the surgical accuracy of the middle-order Porsche Cayman or the carrency motley. Panamera need to be held with amendment for mass. And if you do everything for a split second earlier than suggests common sense, it says, pravosra handling! Stunning stability on the arc. The turn can be passed on gas - Panamera Turbo already in the database is equipped with an active all-wheel drive transmission with a plug-in front axle and an electron adjustable multidisk coupling that distributes the moment between the rear wheels. As a result, a stunning holder in turning at the exhaust speed. And what if you add? No, perhaps I will not. Scary, after all, 8.6 million rubles are not a joke. Although doubt that Panamera will cope, I have no. If only their forces did not fail.

The rear right passenger can move the front right armchair! A hint that in Panamera is not bad to go as a passenger.

On direct Porsche Panamera as at home. Excellent stability at any speed, sports effort on a three-spoke ramp and a clear response to any driving movement. Bliss! To try Panamera on the perfect German autobahn. With the advent of Kaeienia, the hot business hatch begins to be nervous: 20-inch optional discs with soil rubber require limiting concentration and consistency of the steering.
Crazy acceleration in the entire range of revolutions. Pedal to Paul and Panamera rushes forward with the ease of cheetah, who seen prey. And if you have a Sport Chrono Plus package, you can fully experience a fist of rage, which is lightningly rushed into the attack. The right foot on the accelerator, the left on the brake, on the instrument panel lights up Launch Control Activated, in the depths of the engine there is a short-term 10 percent lifting pressure of the boost, and the torque increases at 70 nm (from 700 to 770 nm). Another second. Hit! Porsche shoots, erasing temporary face. All who stood nearby, immediately dissolved in the rearview mirror. Joke Lee, 4 seconds to hundreds. Passengers crushes in a chair.
When the Sport Plus mode is enabled, the panyamer is compressed, the suspension is disturbed, the reactions are exacerbated to the limit, and the large hatchback becomes like a superport of the 911st series. And only a slightly more impulving steering wheel and the increased mass gives a business-oriented hatchback, disguised as a sports car with just one key on the improvised keyboard Vertu. Real fist furious!
The cost of the top version of Porsche Panamera Turbo in Russia begins from the mark of 7 million rubles. The car that visited the test, taking into account additional options, including the elements of the interior decor, ceramic brake mechanisms, 20-inch discs, Sport Hrono Plus, Adaptive Cruise Control, Front Seat Ventilation and Many Other Options will cost 8 650 214 rubles.
As an option for Panamera, a composite ceramic brake system Porsche (PCCB) is proposed. 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 bite - 385 thousand rubles.
 
Easiness of the body structure contributes to both reinforced doors. Aluminum front suspension subframe further enhances passive safety due to its targeted deformation. The hood, wings, doors and the back cover are made of aluminum it allows you to save a lot.
 
The exhaust system Panamera Turbo has two modes of operation: with moderate sound at low revs and load, as well as with improved bandwidth on high speed and with full load. Optionally, optional sports graduation system is available for all Panamera models. The nature of the sound can be changed in the cabin key.
 
The front suspension is an aluminum suspension with far-sided double transverse levers and an aluminum subframe, which reduces the forces arising in the wheel suspension. Rear suspension is an aluminum multi-dimension. Such a design minimizes unwanted clips when accelerating and braking
 
Under the hood, Panamera Turbo is located a 4.8-liter V8 engine with two turbines, direct injection of fuel and an adequation air cooler 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 up to 100 km / h occupies 4.2 seconds. The Launch Control system, which is part of the Optional Sport Chrono Turbo package, stops the 4.0 s Stopwatch
 
Panamera Turbo has two parallel turbocharger one per each series of cylinders. The intake air enters the turbocharger through a common air filter. The air is compressed and sent to the engine through the intermediate coolers one per each series of cylinders. Cooling gives a double effect: the filling of cylinders improves and the details temperature decreases. Pressure pressure at full load depends on the speed of rotation and at sea level reaches the maximum value of 0.85 bar at 2500 rpm.
