The devil drives a Porsche Panamera....

What the hell type of mods are out for those things? Some crazy basturd in a murdered out Panamera pulled up along side of me the other night on the 405/5 south bound and even though we had no clear traffic to go from a roll this dude hammered it and skipped through cars like he was playing checkers. Although I didn't get a chance to see how my car would hold up I could tell that sumof***** was fast.

All the power in the world still doesn't do anything for that ugly azz rear end though

I've read the Panamera Turbo is awesome, but the write up on the 4 said just go buy a Cayenne. The editor couldn't believe it, so they ran a second opinion story on it, and the next author said the same thing! Having had a 955 CTT, I can tell you they are fast SUV's; New ones pull a 4.4 0-60, 12.4 1/4 mile. Turbo S would do better and that's not mod'd. But you were talking Panamera, sorry to run off.

I got to drive my buddies new Turbo. That car is AMAZING. The interior is $$$$$$ and it will get you to 80mph in a couple seconds, drama free.

Personally, I thought they were weird but after driving one, I can see what all the hype is about.

I agree, although I haven't driven one, I did cruise on the freeway next to an all black Panamera. I must say, totally changed my opinion about them. They have a weird shape that at first glance you hate but the more you stare, the more you like, at least that was the case with me.

That looks pretty good. Mansory seemed to go a little over the top with the rear end, although I like the front.





The original artist rendering was pretty good, though.

I couldn't agree more with many comments, that at first (especially in pictures) I was turned off by the looks. But seeing the car in person changed my opinion, and then I believe I was drawn in more by it's unique look. I remember a time when the sport sedan didn't exist and a company called Mercedes launched a car called the CLS. Many hatters and still as many that feel in love with it's unique styling. The Panamera is now that car, following in the trail that the CLS blazed. Love it or hate.

Gotta admit, she looks sweet approaching you from the rear with the Xenons and LEDs on.

Looks ferocious. Like the R8 a bit.

Was in my QX56 "The Luxury Liner" so no action was gonna happen.

I originally had visual reservations but after multiple in person viewings- the car is growing on me. It kinda gives me memories of the E60 Bangle Butt M5 and that grew on me to where I actually like it.

I think most of the discussion here is about the Pan TT but there is a newer beast out there: the Pan TT-S which gets a hp boost to 550 I think... its a 2012 model.

Oh leasing a 160k plus car is never gonna be cheap. Most Pan's are in the 160-170k range (TT non S).

I know of a guy paying more than that for his black series lease.

I take my Hat off to the entire Panamera range, it's a type of Porsche that can't really be faulted. As for the Turbo S, just recently launched here in South Africa,

Panamera is a good car, interior is nice, pretty complicated and angular but nice...I'd say get a Turbo or GT3 and call it a day!

Panamera is sure a car that I would want once I have a family. It's beautiful (or can be with a few exterior mods), fast, and is mod friendly from what I read on the web.

You should have played with him on the E way just to see what would happen.
