A story about test driving the new Panamera and being overcome with a sense of defeat.

The importance of the driving position

Yesterday.Why is it that so many people in Japan don't focus on the driving position? Just as there is a correct form for golf or tennis, there is a correct form for driving, and I think people should know that."I wrote a blog post to this effect, and received this comment from a reader of this blog.

I am very particular about my driving position.
When you sit on the seat, the first step is to adjust the bend of your knees.
Step on the clutch pedal and allow your knees to bend slightly.
Align the steering wheel so that your elbow is bent when you grip the top of the steering wheel.
There are others, but right now they are semi-bucket seats, but I would like to eventually purchase full bucket seats.

You cannot attack a mountain pass unless you have a good driving position.
You have to feel the movement of the car with your back and hips ^^.

Amazing! Excellent!!! I'm sure you'll have a great time and stay safe on the mountain pass.When getting into the car, the driving position should be adjusted before starting the engine.I think I learned that in driving school...(It's a distant memory, so I've forgotten it)It would be nice if such basics could be taught in the classes for license renewal.

Deliveries of the new Panamera have begun.

Well. I have been seeing the new Panamera here and there around town lately.The new Panamera actually on the streets.It feels many times cooler than when I saw it at the dealership.My husband has already seen quite a few of them, including in Osaka City and near our home. Perhaps the first batch of Panameras from those who ordered early have arrived in Japan and are starting to be delivered to their dealers.

As I have mentioned briefly in this blog before, my wife and I first went to test drive the new Panamera 4S around March of this year. The Panamera 4S is more than the Panamera Edition that we currently have in our home.The car starts out very light and nimble, and the sound of the engine coming from the rear during acceleration is very pleasant.The design of the building was also With regard to design, it was alsoIt's a bigger version of the 911.It was very sophisticated in a similar way.

Next, test drive the Panamera Turbo.

A few weeks later, I went to test drive the new Panamera Turbo this time.I just test drove a Panamera 4S the other day, so I don't need to..."And I told my husband.Now that we have the opportunity to test drive it, let's go experience the difference between the 4S and the turbo."So we headed to the Porsche Center.

When we arrived at the Porsche Center, our sales representative, Mr. H.

Since you are going to test drive the Panamera Turbo, we would like you to experience its acceleration on the highway!

After passing through the ETC, we drove on the highway at the legal speed for a while, but when a nice straight line appeared, Mr. HNow that the car is just gone, please try to accelerate!"My husband said, "Okay, I'll accelerate then."

As soon as you say...

The next thing I knew, I was pressed against the seat with such force that I involuntarily stopped breathing. It probably only happened for a couple of seconds, but I was so surprised that I was speechless. Then my husband said something.

I just lightly stepped on the gas pedal about an inch and it went 1*0 km at once...

He tweeted.Seriously!"The car's high speed stability is incredibly high, so I did not feel it was that fast, but it was not until I heard the speed that I realized it had tremendous acceleration power. As one would expect from a 0-100km/h in 3.7 seconds.

The power of the Panamera Turbo, not realized.

And once we got off the highway, I was the next one to drive, because I had tasted the tremendous acceleration before that.(And my husband only stepped on the gas pedal about an inch.)I was somewhat too nervous than I should have been...and for all my desperation, I drove the rest of the way to the dealership in a very slow and sluggish manner.

We could not catch a glimpse of the Panamera Turbo at all... (-_-)

What a waste... I was allowed to test drive the Panamera Turbo, which has tremendous performance..............................I wish I could experience the difference between the 4s and the 4s."I was feeling a sense of defeat. I got out of the car, feeling a little down, and when I took a break after being guided to the business meeting table at the Porsche Center, I realized something.

Oh...my jaw, it's so tired...(-_-)

Yes, to my surprise, I was driving with my teeth clenched involuntarily throughout the entire test drive. The new Panamera Turbo...it's terrifying. I wish I had been more prepared for the test drive... It was a tremendous car with terrific power, high speed stability, and a luxurious ride.

Later, in a calmer state, I wrote a better test drive review article.
