When it comes to the world's best sports car brands, Porsche is definitely one of them. Whether it is the classic sports car 911 or the future warrior 918, they are writing their own legendary stories. The reason why Porsche can continue to launch these models, some models that can go to the volume are indispensable, and the hot sales of Cayenne and Macan have allowed Porsche to survive. The protagonist of today's test drive is also a bold attempt by Porsche, which is of great significance to Porsche, and this car is the Panamera we are familiar with.
Appearance: Four doors 911
The Panamera's exterior has a strong Porsche design style, and the rounded shape is in line with other Porsches. The headlights use Porsche's latest matrix design and are similar in shape to Porsche's Le Mans cars. The most eye-catching side shape is the air deflector on the fender model, which is full of power. The body shape is relatively rounded and stretched, and the line transition of the rear of the car is much better than that of the previous game, and there will be no cumbersome look and feel on the old model.
The rear of the car is more sturdy, and the shoulder line shape on the two sides of the fenders gives you a sense of stability. The taillights are designed through, with the Porsche logo in the middle and the Panamera logo below the strip. The rear bumper uses a spoiler design, and the shape of the bilateral four out is very performance-
Interior: Innovation in the heritage
The interior texture of the Panamera will be more general, and some additional high-grade materials will be required to have a good texture. The center console uses a T-shaped arrangement, and the layout of the functions is simple and clear. In addition to the LCD multimedia system of the center console, the operation panel located at the gear lever also uses a full-touch design, which is more concise in the off-screen state.
The dashboard is Porsche's classic five-in-one style, but several of the tables are liquid crystal displays, effectively blending classic elements with modern technology. The steering wheel uses a three-frame design for a very solid grip and can even be equipped with an optional knob for driving mode change.
Static ride: Good seat wrapping
The front seat is low, and the electric 4-way adjustable steering wheel can adapt to the sitting posture of different drivers of different sizes. The front seats are one-piece styles, and the seats are better wrapped around the body. If you think the regular version of the seat is still not enough to wrap, then you pay an additional 20,000 optional sports seats. The front seats are more conventionally configured, and functions other than heating need to be optional.
The rear space is more conventional, the legroom of the standard version model is still much inferior to those of the pure executive-grade extended sedan, and the large space is the need to buy a long wheelbase model. The rear seats, with the exception of the central armrest and air conditioning control panel, are optional.
Don't forget that the Panamera is a hatchback with the tailgate open with the rear windshield. The opening size of the trunk is similar to that of an SUV model, and the vertical space will be larger than that of a typical executive-class sedan. The rear seats can be reclined proportionally, further expanding the storage space
Dynamic section: 2.9T+V6 is all-encompassing
The Panamera is powered by a 2.9T turbocharged V6 engine capable of producing 330 horsepower and reaching a peak torque of 450N.m. The drivetrain is mated to an 8-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, which is known as the PDK transmission. The power level of this powertrain does not need to worry at all, it is the type of power that is constantly flowing. It is worth noting that the dual-clutch transmission, this dual-clutch transmission performance is generally smooth, in some particularly congested road conditions is still difficult to avoid setbacks.
The suspension gives a sense of stability, and chassis filtering in Comfort mode is more thorough due to the air suspension. Suspension damping in Sport mode is enhanced to provide good support. The car does not have a clear sense of being a big car, the rear is very followed, and the chassis is tuned to meet The high level of Porsche.
Low flat tires create some road feel, which coincides with the panamera sport executive class positioning. PS4S tires with multi-piston calipers, the brake foot feel is very solid, providing a strong confidence for the driver.
Summary: The Porsche Panamera is such a comprehensive product, one second it is still testing the limits of the car on the track; the next second it can attend some of the more high-end occasions. The standard wheelbase version of the rear seat ride experience is more general, so Porsche also provides you with a long wheelbase model, and this version of the rear seat ride experience is to be upgraded by one dimension.
