www.autobytel.com The 2012 Porsche Panamera is an interesting combination of automotive delicacies. The Panamera is one part sports car, one part luxury car, one part hatchback, and one part sedan. Over the past decade, Porsche has created a few unique vehicles to target a broad range of car buyers. The Boxster is aimed at the entry level sports car enthusiast while the Cayenne is aimed at those looking for a quick SUV. But the Panamera offers 911 performance with a usable back seat. The 2012 Porsche Panamera can range from 200 for the base model all the way to 3200 for the top of the line Turbo S model. The vehicle tested in this video is the base model Panamera 4 (AWD). It is powered by a lightweight and direct injected 3.6 liter V-6 engine that makes 300 horsepower and 295 lb-ft. of torque. The transmission is the famous PDK twin-cutch 7-speed unit that shifts lighting quick. Fuel economy on the 2012 Porsche Panamera is 18 MPG in the city and 26 MPG on the highway thanks in part to an auto start/stop system which shuts down the engine while the car is sitting idle. Sixty MPH flies by in 5.8 seconds and the Panamera 4 has a top speed of 159 MPH. The Panamera handles incredibly well thanks to the Porsche Traction Management system. The AWD monitors driving situations and can adjust power as need. The Panamera is equipped with Anti-Slip Regulation and Automatic Brake Differential. Porsche Active Suspension Management is optional on the Panamera 4. This system …
A four door Porsche?!–This turd is no less a travesty than the four door concept Corvette that GM built a couple of in the mid 60s.
At least GM was intelligent enough (at the time) NOT to produce it.
I’m about to replace my 2011 Cayenne. Now that a hide away hitch is available in US for Panamera decision is tough. Which do I order Carmine Red Cayenne or Carmine Red Panamera? If you order all the suspension packages they are true Porsches.
No headroom in the A7?! That was one of their big selling points! A sleek, sporty, 4dr hatchback with room for 5 plus HEADROOM!
OFF THE CHANG MMMMMMMMAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNN
doctors and lawyers with a successful practice are the usual crowd I see in these, and the occasional young kid who wants to be seen will rent one.

LOL GENESIS 5.0 V8 TAU 429 HP, FASTER THAN THIS OVER RATED OVER PRICED CRAP.
Because the diesel makes much more sense in many countries. For instance where I’m from diesel is 1/3 the price of petrol. Also, even a rich person doesn’t like spending needlessly, plus if you travel by car across Europe in pure comfort you’ll be happy to know you can go 750 miles before refuelling.
Funny, people say they hate this car from Porsche. The truth is, before the Cayenne and this car, I would never consider buying a porsche because it was not practical enough for me, and if I had money to burn I would buy a Ferrari instead if I just wanted to drive myself and another person! These cars gave Porsche new customers that think like I do… I used to hate Porsches, now I love them!
This is my dream car
Yeah I agree at the end of the day would you rather porsche stay in business and competitive by selling new models like this, or would you rather them struggle and keep pumping out traditional overall uneconomical sports cars. Nothing wrong with this beauty, and hopefully more to come in there line ups.
3.7 seconds and there isn’t a 2011 s6 in the U.S.
Love the way this guy reviews the cars.
Agreed.
in europe the price of petrol is much higher then in the states and more than 60% of exec cars are sold diesel
americans car review sucks
Seriously one thing that really boggles my mind is why they made a diesel Panamera. People are deluded by this diesel fad. If you can afford a Panamera why not rather get the S , GTS or Turbo. If you want to save the planet get the hybrid!
