Talk about the more you drive a Porsche GT3, the more you appreciate the Panamera.
Published on: 22.08.2019
The mileage of the GT3, which was delivered at the end of May, will soon reach 4,000 km, and my husband, who drives the GT3 every week, has recently been frequently asking, "How can I drive the GT3?Driving the GT3 made me appreciate the awesomeness of the Panamera even more than before.He said. He wrote an article on this point, which you are welcome to read.
The Panamera Turbo is awesome.
It has been almost two years since the 971 Panamera Turbo came to our house.
We have previously discussed the "I think GT3 and Panamera are similar.I wrote an article titled "The first time I saw a new product," which I hope you will consider as a sequel to that article, as I have had some new thoughts about it since then.
I drive a Porsche 911 GT3 and then a Panamera Turbo. Then, to feel the resemblance well.
From the beginning, I have been continually amazed by the duality of this car.It can be driven in a luxurious way, while it can be driven in a fast way. Driving in Sport Plus mode is especially exceptional!It is. The huge body turned unbelievably in the corners and showed tremendous acceleration. That in itself was very satisfying.
But on the other hand, I didn't know about GT3 at the time.That said, I'm sure the GT3 is much, much more than a Panamera.He was imagining, "I'm not going to be able to do that.
However.
In the course of owning a GT3 and driving it every day, "I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do it.There is not as much difference between the Panamera's driving performance and the GT3 as one might imagine.I started to think that the GT3 was faster than the 991 GT3. Of course the 991 GT3 is faster on the track, and I think it is obvious that the cornering speed is also precisely faster in the GT3. However, my point is.
The difference is not that great.That's what it means. In fact, the Nürburgring time for the Panamera Turbo is 7 minutes 38 seconds, which is faster than the 7 minutes 40 seconds set by the previous 997 911 GT3.
Recently, theI drive a Panamera with a lower ride height.I have decided to use this method. I feel that this gives me more precise handling and less roll. Sometimes, when I take a curve, I try to turn the car vigorously with Sport or Sport Plus, and the first thing that comes to my mind is, "I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.Wow, sounds like GT3!I think, 'I'm not going to be able to do it.
This is not an exaggeration. I'm sure the rear axle steering is a benefit, but it feels really similar to me.
The Panamera is a sports car.
Since I began to feel this way.I'm liking the Panamera Turbo more and more and feel like I've discovered a new appreciation for this car.It has become. From the initial impression of "It's just a great car," to now being able to measure its performance by the GT3I can understand the tremendous measure of its performance.The first is the "I" in "I".
In a nutshell, I would now confidently say of the Panamera Turbo.
"A 4-door sports car that can be a GT3 anytime."
If you want to talk about the Panamera, you can't talk about a sports sedan in the sweetest terms.It is completely in the category of a sports car.And once in Sport Plus, it feels like a four-door GT3.
If "I want a Porsche, but my family drives one and I can't have two.If you are one of those who say "I don't know what a 911 is," I would highly recommend the Panamera to you. If you are not familiar with the 911, don't worry. The Panamera has the elements of the 911 without knowing it. It is such a car.

I can feel Mina's love for her Panamera!
I test drove it a few times myself, and it's a best buy if you don't have a 911 obsession.
If I had to say, it would be great if it were just a little more compact (laughs).
Mr. Wind Slope.
Thank you! My husband has been raving about the Panamera lately, more than ever! and the more I listen to him, the more he raves about it.
I, too, have a renewed appreciation for the depth and appeal of the Panamera.
However, my mileage has increased so much that I don't get to ride as much these days as I used to, which makes me a little sad ^^;
I am a 987 Boxster driver from Nishinomiya.
I always enjoy reading your reviews of the highest quality Porsche cars in the country.
I'm afraid this may sound like a request, but I personally would like to see a review someday on the differences in driving performance depending on the position of the engine in a Porsche!
Mr. Fujikawa.
Thank you for visiting our blog.
And thank you so much for your over-the-top words!
>Personally, I'd love to see a review sometime on the differences in driving performance depending on where the Porsche engine is mounted!
I emailed my husband and he said, "Ok!!!!" he said, so perhaps he will write an article about it someday (lol).
That 987 Boxster or whatever sounds like a lot of fun!
I would like to ride it someday too.
Thank you for your continued support.
I would love a Porsche, but my family drives one and I can't have two."
I really like the term. But can you feel the GT3 feel without the turbo?
Turbo is about twice as expensive as a normal one.
I'm a father of two, and I'd definitely like to buy one within the next five years after reading Mina's article.
I always look forward to your articles, so please keep up the good work on Panamera.

Thank you!
> but can you feel the GT3 feel without the turbo?
I asked my husband about it.
I'd say, "In terms of power, if it's not the Panamera Turbo, it's still not the same as the GT3, but it doesn't change the fact that the Panamera is similar to the 911.
In terms of handling, the bare Panamera is more like a 911 because of the V6, which is lighter and more agile in front than the turbo.
If you care about driving, rear-axle steering is a must, and if you're looking for a budget-friendly option, you might as well get a PCCD."
He said.
I have the feeling that I have written all the articles about Panamera since the opening of the blog;
I hope to continue to write about Panamera from a different perspective.
Thank you for your continued support!
Mina Good evening.
I read this Blog with great interest.
My impression is... Oh no, I can't believe you can compare the GT3 and the Panamera Turbo.
Foul! It is.
Sorry. It's a comment from a commoner. (Laughs)
As others have commented, certainly high quality Porsche's
ReviewIt's hard to see you outside of this blog, he said.
I'm looking forward to reading more of your fun articles!

Thank you for everything!
>My impression is... Oh no, I can't believe you can compare the GT3 and the Panamera Turbo.
>Foul! It is.
But yes (laughs), my husband always comes home saying, "Yeah, a car..."
I would say, "Well, if it's not a nice car at all for such a high price, it's rather a problem (laughs).
I hope to publish more articles in the coming weeks!
Thank you for your continued support.
Mina, how are you?
I always enjoy your work! I just took delivery of my Panamera the other day and I can really appreciate the quality of the car. I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but the car itself is really wonderful! And even though it is just a plain Panamera, the excitement starts from the sound of the engine ignition, and it is really fun to drive.
As Mina mentioned in her blog at the beginning of the year, I was surprised again at the size of the car when I actually drove it! I don't mind it when I am driving, but when I put it in the parking lot, I am amazed at how big it is. I get nervous every time I put it in the parking lot! I am thinking of going for a drive on the three-day weekend in September, but I am worried about the parking lot at the inn at the destination! I'll be referring to the national road map and the sleeve planned by your husband!
I'll be back for more!

Oooooooo congratulations on your car: ！！！！！
Panamera, really, really great car!
We, too, are still impressed every day, even though it has been two years since we took delivery of the car (laughs).
>I don't mind it when I'm driving, but when it comes to parking.
Yes, it is (laughs). It's wide, it's long, it's puny (laughs).
>I'm thinking of going for a drive in September for a three-day weekend, but I'm concerned about parking at the inn at the destination! I'll be referring to the national road map and the slew of maps planned by the master!
Oh, yes! I am very much looking forward to it!
We always try to park at the inn's parking lot, which in my family's case is the farthest from the entrance.
Even though it is a break-in period, I am sure you will enjoy a great ride on the road.
I am looking forward to your feedback!
