<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve been talking about the new Panamera nonstop lately, but our current one hasn\u2019t started acting up out of jealousy. It\u2019s still running beautifully\u2014which somehow makes us love it even more. W<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll take good care of you right to the very end, Panamera. Let\u2019s enjoy as many drives together as we can before it\u2019s time to part ways.<\/p>\n
Now, let\u2019s take a look at the spec of the new Panamera Turbo scheduled to arrive at our home in October. This is its first appearance on the blog. Here\u2019s what it looks like.<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>\u30fbNight Blue Metallic\u3000\u00a50
\n(We went back and forth between this and Sapphire Blue Metallic, but decided against the latter because it would stand out too much.)<\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/20170911163746-800x450.jpg\")

\n(My husband and I had agreed from the start that we wanted a black interior. Our current car has a lovely beige interior, but denim dye and everyday dirt really show up. This photo is of a left-hand-drive car; ours will be right-hand drive.)<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>\u30fbLED Matrix Headlights\u3000\u00a5193,000
\n(These make the headlight housings look black, giving the front end a much sharper appearance.)
\n<\/span>\u30fbPrivacy glass\u3000\u00a5100,000
\n\u30fbSoft-close doors\u3000\u00a5128,000
\n(Our current Panamera has these, too, and they\u2019re incredibly convenient. I insisted that we include them.<\/span>Even if you only pull the door almost shut, it closes itself. Handy when you\u2019re carrying a child or juggling bags.)<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>\u30fbPDK\u3000\u00a50
\n\u30fbRear-Axle Steering\u3000\u00a5325,000
\n(The rear wheels turn as well as the front ones, improving stability through corners and helping the car turn with real precision. My husband was adamant that we get this option.)
\n<\/span>\u30fbSport Chrono Package\u3000\u00a5382,000
\n(Apparently, the Sport Chrono Package is only available on cars equipped with PDK. I wonder if it\u2019s a popular choice for people who enjoy a more hands-on driving experience?)
\n<\/span>\u30fbSport Exhaust System\u3000\u00a5560,000
\n(This changes the exhaust note. When you start the engine, it gives a more pronounced \u201cvroom!\u201d But it\u2019s not obnoxiously loud\u2014instead, it has a deep, powerful, layered sound that I love.)<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>\u30fb21-inch 911 Turbo Design Wheels\u3000\u00a5597,000
\n(Porsche wheels are expensive, aren\u2019t they? But the 21-inch wheels look even better than the standard ones, making the car look lower and sleeker.)<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>\u30fbPorsche Crest Wheel Center Caps\u3000\u00a530,000
\n(All this does is replace the silver Porsche crest in the center of each wheel with a colored one. \u00a530,000 for that seems steep\u2014but by this point, your sense of what things should cost has gone out the window, and it\u2019s all too easy to think, \u201cWell, it\u2019s only \u00a530,000\u2014let\u2019s add it.\u201d That\u2019s the scary part.)<\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/20170911163855-800x450.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>\u30fbStandard seats\u3000\u00a50
\n\u30fbSeat ventilation\u3000\u00a5193,000
\n(The seats blow cool air in summer. My husband deeply regretted not adding this when he bought his Boxster GTS, so we opted for it this time. I could do without it, though.)
\n<\/span>\u30fbLane Change Assist\u3000\u00a5150,000
\n(Especially useful on the highway: radar checks your blind spot for vehicles you can\u2019t see when changing lanes and alerts you if one is there. Sounds handy.)
\n<\/span>\u30fbAdaptive Cruise Control\u3000\u00a5433,000
\n<\/span>(Is this basically a kind of self-driving system? I never imagined a Porsche would come with equipment like this. It should make long highway drives much easier\u2014really looking forward to trying it.)
\n<\/span>\u30fbStorage Package\u3000\u00a50
\n\u30fbCupholder cover\u3000\u00a50

<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>\u30fbCarbon Interior Package\u3000\u00a5156,000<\/p>\n
\n<\/span>*We had also selected a TV tuner, but it became unavailable with the new model and was automatically removed.<\/span><\/p>\n
