Adventures with a Panamera ST Turbo

[RDMcG]

They are not particularly popular and I rarely see another.

Overall it is an immensely comfortable, very quick mile-eater. I can drive it all day and not come out fatigued. No reliability issues apart from some electrical testing problems when it was new. Not sure of the alternatives, but I would think the Audi RS6 avant would be my alternative.

I picked up my car in Toronto in Feb 2018. I had specced it to have minimum chrome, no Turbo badging, CF/black leather interior. and the usual torque vectoring etc, plus 21" Color-matched wheels and 20" regular winters.final_Large-5.jpg

Looks great! The spec is clean. Carmine Red I presume?

Yes,Carmine which seems to suit it well.

Fabulous adventures and travels - great fun, no doubt.

I've never ridden in one but the Sport Turismo certainly looks to be deserving of its Panamera top dog status. That's quite the car.

Well, not quite top dog though it has 550bhp. There is a hybrid with 680bhp, but the added weight somewhat negates the extra power. I looked at it and decided that the normal Turbo was the way to go. Not yet ready for the regenerative braking etc.

Agreed re the hybrid. Your ST Turbo is close enough to top dog in my book.
