ENGINE has a Porsche feature.

My husband recently ordered a magazine called "ENGINE. Apparently, the latest issue of "ENGINE" isPorsche SpecialI'm just saying that it's a good idea.

What is ENGINE?Monthly magazine focusing on automotive topicsThe magazine covers all areas of interest to adult men, including fashion, watches, house products, gourmet food, movies, and music. On the cover, you can see

The evolution of Porsche never stops." Riding the new 911GT3RS at the Nürburgring. /Just before landing in Japan, we drove the new Cayenne Turbo to Alsace. /Designing a Porsche. ...and much more in over 70 pages!

It is written.

...uhhh...what about Panamera (-_-)?

I thought, "There's no mention of Panamera anywhere," but when I opened the magazine, I found it.(I'm sure you're right.)The following is a list of the most common problems with the "C" in the "C" column.

Over the course of six pages, theTest drive comparison article between the bare-bones Panamera, Panamera Turbo SE Hybrid, and Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo.was written!

What is the evaluation of each Panamera that you are interested in?

Conclusion.Great rave reviews on all three models.The first time I saw the building, it was being used as a base for a new building.


First.Panamera Turbo SE HybridAbout.

What is surprising about driving the ☑ Turbo SE Hybrid is that it contains many elements: a sports car, a four-door saloon, and an eco-car.
☑While using the latest technology that allows the car to run about 50 km on electricity alone, it is wonderful that the car has not lost any of what Porsche had in terms of driving fun.
☑I put it in Sport Plus and drove it on a mountain pass and thought it looked like a 911 Turbo.
☑ No car enthusiast can escape environmental issues. The Turbo SE Hybrid contains Porsche's answer to the question, "This is the way we go. The most fuel-efficient car and the fastest car are two-in-one.

I see. This time it was a turbo model, but what if it was a 4E hybrid? Would it still feel like a 911 and be as much fun to drive? I'd like to find another test drive article on that.

Is the bare Panamera the best?

Now, let's see if we can't find a way to getEvaluation of the bare PanameraHuh?

The car that made me feel most strongly about Porsche was the "plain" Panamera with the 3-liter V6.
☑The advantages of the new platform, which is based on a front engine and rear drive, are easier to appreciate without the various attachments.
The ☑ lightweight Panamera is nice and light. It is 1800kg though it is light.
☑ It is much better than the first generation. When we created a large saloon that is fast without question and fun to drive like the 911, and that lives up to the Porsche name, I think we knew what we could and could not abandon when we built the first generation.
The ☑ new model suddenly looks like a 911. Instead, the rear seat head clearance and cargo space are not that great.
☑It is more important to look like a Porsche than to compete with rivals such as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series, and Audi A8 for space.
☑Only the Panamera and the Aston Martin Rapide prioritize styling by dividing the living space to some extent in such a huge body.

Great praise for the bare-bones Panamera. Husband too.Certainly the bare Panamera was light and more than adequate."He said. I also read that the Cayenne was rated higher for the second generation than the first, but the same is true for the Panamera.

Certainly, the first generation will have many areas of exploration, and the second generation, improved upon the first generation's situation, may be a major step forward.

What about Sports Turismo?

So what about Sports Turismo?Because the Panamera is such a huge, four-seater model that pursues sportiness, a sports turismo model that can accommodate five people became necessary.That seems to be what they mean.

☑The call to make it a five-seater was apparently quite loud.
☑ When driving normally in normal mode, the car is thoroughly controlled in an eco-friendly direction.
☑This Sport Turismo was a non-hybrid turbo model, but it was fast enough.
☑ Rather, I thought it was the fastest of the three, for 220 kg lighter than the Turbo SE Hybrid.

He said.

What is your overall opinion of the Panamera?

As for the general comments about the Panamera, I tooYou're right - that's a good way to put it."The excerpts are all about the following.

☑After driving these three cars, I have been impressed when I see the new Panamera on the Metropolitan Expressway and around town.
I don't want to say I'm sorry, but I think, "You've bought a good one."
The ☑BMW 7 series M760i and Mercedes S-Class AMG are no longer competitive opponents.
☑ In the realm of sports cars, it stands completely apart.
☑The new Panamera has no moments when I forget that I am driving. I have a very strong feeling that I am driving.

Every time I see an article like this, I think that motor journalists and auto critics are amazing. It may be obvious, but they know their cars inside out, their expressions are precise, and their metaphors are easy to understand. Professionals are amazing.

As for this issue of ENGINE, the other articles were very rich and interesting. For 1,000 yen for all this reading material...magazines are amazing.

By the way, you can purchase the latest issue here. This is a must see!
