I drive a Porsche 911 GT3 and then a Panamera Turbo. Then, to feel the resemblance well.

Reviews & Test Rides

911 and Panamera

On a recent family outing in our Panamera, my husband, who was driving, said this to me.

Panamera looks amazingly similar to the GT3.Wow. I'm pretty serious about this one: after driving the GT3, I got into the Panamera and the feeling of getting out of the garage and starting to drive really feels like a 911 made bigger and more luxurious as it is, and I don't feel uncomfortable.
From the standpoint of a person who usually rides bothThe Panamera is built with the 911 in mind.I can really understand the "I'm not sure I know what I'm talking about". I feel like the distance between the Panamera and the GT3 is closer than the distance between the Panamera and the Boxster.
Occasionally, the "The Panamera is not a Porsche.Some people say things like, "You know what?First, you need to drive the Panamera around more and then you can tell me.I would say.

And.

Indeed, the smooth, stiff ride of the 911GT3 (991.2) is(although it does pick up quite a bit of shock on uneven roads).The ride and base may be similar to that of the Panamera Turbo. Of course, the Panamera Turbo has more heft, though.

I'm the one who said, "Sure, they look alike, but what's so similar about them?When I hear the word

I feel the most similar."handling"I wonder. "Vibration transmitted to the steering wheel and slow and abrupt response from the beginning to the end of steering wheel turning.", "Ground contact when going around a curve", plus "The sensation of stepping on the ground and turning a curve powerfully as if the ground is being scraped off.I think the "I think" is similar to the "I think".
The Boxster is a little different from the GT3 and Panamera in that it feels more nimble and easy going through curves rather than forceful. The Boxster is a little gentler at the beginning of a turn, while the GT3 and Panamera are a little different in that respect.

And. I see...

I've only driven the GT3 twice, so I don't remember exactly what it feels like, but as for the Panamera, the cornering is certainly powerful, yetSmaller and snappier feel as if the car were smallerThe car has a very large body, but it can run smoothly even on a mountain pass like the Ashiyu Driveway. Despite its huge size, the car runs smoothly on mountain passes such as the Ashiyu Driveway.

My husband went on.

Well... the GT3 has a lot to offer.This Panamera also has a "Rear axle steering" is attached.I think it's a big thing. It turns at a very sharp angle. On the contrary911 without rear axle steering and Panamera without rear axle steeringmay be handled very similarly.

And. I see... I continued, "If the Panamera looks like a 911, does that mean it also looks like an air-cooled (964)?" I asked.

Compared to the time when the 964 was made, the modern 911 and Panamera have evolved considerably. So, in terms of cooking, the ingredients are the same, but the seasoning is completely different, so it's hard to say "similar" in one word.
If the Porsche 989 (concept car), the ancestor of the Panamera, had been released, it would have been similar to the 964. As it were.971 Panamera is similar to 991" and perhaps "970 Panamera is similar to the 997.I guess you could say that.

And. Hmmm... _φ(__...

When I was in my 970 Panamera Edition, "The new 971 Panamera will never surpass this Panamera.I thought, "That's how well made the car was. It was such a well-made car.

But when I got to test drive the new Panamera 4S at the dealership, all I had to do was step on the gas pedal and take off a little.Lightness, smoothness, ride, handling."...I was surprised to realize that it was far beyond the conventional model in every way.

My husband, too, at the time.

The 971 is not an extension of the 970, but was developed completely from scratch."911 is jealous."That's the perfect catchphrase!"

He was impressed.

The Panamera is a Porsche.

The first Porsche I ever drove in my life."Panamera". At that time, I was less interested in cars than I am now, and of course I didn't even know the Panamera existed, "Now that I'm at the dealership, can I test drive a big Porsche?I was allowed to drive with about a "light" ride.

...but when theThe feeling of oneness between the car and the driver, the smoothness of the ride, and the lack of slippage between the gas pedal and the brake....Everything was so different from the cars I had driven before, I was so impressed that I got goosebumps.

And I honestly thought, "Porsche is awesome!" I thought.

I've become a total Panamera fan from there, and I've been all over the internet.

The Panamera isn't the best selling Porsche, and don't tell me you drive a Porsche when you're a Panamera."

Every time I see something like "You don't know anything about Panamera, but you are a big man. I'll debunk your opinion so thoroughly that I'll smash you to pieces and you'll never be able to talk to me like that again...It's not that I've never thought of it as a "good thing," but...(Scary w)I thought it was very unpopular to do such a thing, so I went through with it.

But let me say it again. No matter what anyone says.The Panamera is a true Porsche.It is.

Now, I don't know everything there is to know about Porsche, rather I still only know the superficial aspects, but I have had the opportunity to drive various models of Porsche to a certain extent, and I have been able to learn a lot about theIndeed, the base of the Panamera flows from the 911.He realizes that "the

And this brings me back to my conversation with my husband at the beginning... he was

."The Panamera handles similarly to the 911.But I don't think it's that simple. I think the Panamera was made with the 911 in mind, after much research and development by the Porsche people, down to the details that we don't understand.
It is truly amazing how similar they are despite the difference in body weight, wheelbase, and size.

He said sincerely.

The other day, he said, "Panamera Coupe development?The evolution of the Panamera is becoming more and more exciting these days, as news such as, "The 971 Panamera's late model is about to be released..." has been circulating.

And I still like the Panamera.

    Good evening, MIna.

    >Panamera looks amazingly similar to the GT3.

    I believe Mr. Kawakubo made a comment in Loperaio's video review that the 971 turbo has a similar ride quality to the 911.
    I test drove a 992 the other day, but it was too stable to feel fast or exciting even when I stepped on it quite hard. On highways and circuits, I think the 992's inherent potential can be felt, but in everyday situations, I felt it was difficult to feel the sports car-like qualities.

    >When I was driving the 970 Panamera Edition, I thought, "There is absolutely no way that the new 971 Panamera will surpass this Panamera. It was such a well-made car. However, when I was allowed to test drive the new Panamera 4S at the dealership, I was surprised to realize that it far surpassed the previous model in all aspects, including "lightness," "smoothness," "ride comfort," and "handling," just by stepping on the accelerator pedal and taking off slightly.

    The evolution from the 970 to the 971 is so tremendous. I was thinking of a PHEV around the Volvo V60 or V90 next to the 970 PHEV I currently own (not because I am tired of the Panamera, but because I don't think I need that much performance for everyday family use), but after reading this article, I want to get the later 971 that will be available in the future. I'll just have to work hard.

      >I believe Mr. Kawakubo made a comment in the Loperaio video review that the 971 turbo has a similar ride to the 911.
      I remember something like that too. But I really think they are very similar.

      >I test drove a 992 the other day.
      So you got to test drive a 992! I'm so jealous!
      My wife and I have not been able to do it yet. I have also seen more than one tweet that it is not very interesting in everyday life situations.
      Is it superfluous because it is PDK?

      >This article made me want to do it in the late 971s that will be coming out in the future.
      I can't wait to see when the late Panamera will be available.
      Certainly the Panamera's high performance is not at all necessary for everyday driving, and I think to myself, "I guess I am usually only able to produce about 51 TP2T of what the Panamera is capable of.
      But it's great to have a sedan that offers such a sports car experience, and I'm looking forward to the second half of the year, as I also think it's hard to get away from the Panamera.

      My husband said, "If we buy another Panamera, the bare bones model is already good enough.

    Well, to the point.
    Porsche made the car, so the Panamera is a Porsche too lol.

    BMWs are also BMWs, no matter which one you drive.
     Even if you drive a BMW Mini, it's still a BMW. Maybe even if you drive a Supra, it's still a BMW.

    I guess I don't think about it too much. Panamera is a Porsche lol.

      Thank you for everything!

      >Porsche made the car, so the Panamera is a Porsche too lol.
      Yes, indeed (laughs), the Panamera is also a Porsche.

      I've been working on these blogs for a while now.
      I was often exposed to information like, "Panamera is not a Porsche."
      I had been holding on to these feelings in agony for a long time, and this time I couldn't help but let them out (laughs).

  3. Yessir!

    Hello, Mina.

    >But I would like to reiterate. No matter what anyone says, the Panamera is a Porsche.

    But...
    Let me say it again. With the overwhelming lack of information on the Panamera, I don't care what anyone says, "Panamera Life" is the best blog for those who are considering buying a Porsche!

    I would like to say. I will continue to support you.
    I'd love to go to Ashiari someday.
