Handling and riding comfort
This individual did not have a rear axle steering,Motor nerves are truly PanameraIs. It's rude to compare it with a sports sedan with a husband's specifications, and the cornering speed and stability are all different.
I try to run the usual course that I run with Boxster etc.Medium speed and above cornersI wonder if it's the same as Boxster or even faster.it is really amazing.
Especially when escaping from a corner, it is a trick that only 4WD can do, as the four wheels grab the road surface firmly and accelerate vigorously.
And this GTS,Obviously, the PDK control is smarter and the shift is faster than the turbo I was riding.I think it has been improved. Shifting is very fast, if not comparable to the 911, and the shifting is completed in an instant with a sporty sound. This is a pretty good point.
The real attraction of Panamera is such a sporty run. I think that most Panamera in Japan are running around in the city, butI want you to run this kind of mountain road once.
I don't think it's a sedan, but I think you can enjoy the sighing athletic performance.
Move the stage to the highway and try running while leading the overtaking lane. It's a sense of stability. Compared to the flat feeling like Taycan's demon, it is a little worse, but it still advances like an arrow, accelerates guigui in any situation, and quickly and safely pulls out the car in front. Teleportation from the inside to the outside and from the outside to the inside even in the middle of a curve.
Completes lane changes smoothly in any situation and does not make you feel a little uneasyHowever, he grew up in the Nürburgring. For Panamera, the Japanese highway is also a good place for breakfast.
The wings that spread to the left and right are equipment that is only allowed for turbo and GTS
The ride quality in the city seems to be a little "rumble" compared to turbo etc., probably because of the sports PASM suspension that is 10 mm lower for GTS. Low-grade "SteadilyThe driver doesn't feel uncomfortable, butIf a wife who is sensitive to riding comfort can ride in the passenger seat, it may be a little complaining because it is hard for a sedan.unknown. (Because I think that I am riding Panamera, I am concerned about the ride quality. If I think that it is 911, the ride quality is outstandingly good)
The difference due to the lack of rear axle steering can be clearly seen especially in tight corners. If I had a turbo with a rear axle before, I would turn the tight corner so that it would get more involved with Gurung.If it is not attached, it feels like a normal corneringThe first is.
Nevertheless.The "ordinary cornering" is extremely high level in GTSSo, it may not bother you much except for those who are particular about running.
Do you buy a grade called GTS?
If you haven't experienced turbo, 4S, or E-hybrid, I think GTS looks versatile. There are many special equipment on the interior and exterior, which is very cool. And it's fast and the sound is great. There is also comfort. perhaps,Most people are happy enoughI think.
However, knowing the existence of the turbo of the same V8 engine, by all meansI cannot deny the feeling of engine detune.. I think it's not unreasonable if 90ps can be suppressed compared to the turbo, but I feel that the acceleration power and response are a little unclear. It feels like there is a shackle somewhere.
If GTS is not V8If you had a 4S V6 tuned engine, the evaluation would be different.Isn't it? AnywayI wanted V6 to be tuned crisply and loadedThat is my impression.
Also, in terms of ride quality, it is inferior to turbo and E-hybrid. The running performance itself is very high, so it can't be helped, but if riding comfort is prioritized, we recommend that you try other grades as well.
And I recommend 4S in winding and in the city. The V6 engine runs sharper and the front is lighter, so it feels lighter. If I ride in the city center, I would use a 4S or E-hybrid.
This time it was a bit dry, but this is my honest personal impression. There is no problem in terms of performance, but the more you know the upper and lower grades, the more thisWhile the GTS grade is almighty, I can't deny the impression that it's a little out of place.
So, if you recommend this Panamera GTS grade, first of all, those who like the interior and exterior of this GTS, those who value resale, and those who value sportiness above all. In other words, rather than Panamera,Best for those who are looking for a usage similar to the 911 Carrera 4 and Carrera 4SI think it will be a grade selection.

I will post for the first time.
I always enjoy looking at your site.
From the 3.6L manual car after the minor change of the first Cayenne in 2008
It is the person who started the Porsche history.
After that, after owning Panamera 970.2 GTS and Macan Turbo,
He currently owns a 991.2 Turbo S and a 971.2 GTS Turismo.
I have no experience on the circuit, but an accurate evaluation of each model and grade of your Porsche,
The evaluation and feeling of each Porsche car that I feel is similar, no, even more on the extension line
I am looking forward to seeing you while admiring the deeper world.
Although it is Panamera, the test drive of 971 is a test drive of the 4E hybrid, 4S, GTS, turbo, turbo SE of the previous model.
Among them, I have borrowed GTS and Turbo SE for about 2 days, assuming that I will travel 600km a day.
I checked whether it suits me, focusing on the moderate winding feeling of the highway and national road that I plan to use.
I didn't buy the Turbo SE because I had the impression that the direction was a little different from what I was looking for.
The GTS was the last year of the previous year's car. This car is not enough at the beginning of running in the town
It felt just right in sports mode, and once I started running it was as fun as the 970 GTS.
Panamera late model judged that the element of GT car will be stronger like other models (992, 718, Macan),
I just bought it because there was a frame.
The late model has been adjusted well, and it can start without problems in Nomar mode,
Even with 21-inch wheels, the ride quality is flat and the sound is quieter than 991 (it is natural),
The tires also had a favorable impression on the Michelin pilot sport4S (991 also changed from P-ZERO to the same brand).
There is very little turbo lag like the Macan Turbo, and as advertised, it has an impression closer to normal aspiration than the previous model.
Even in the low rev range where you run normally, a sufficient torque feeling will rise linearly.
The brake touch is also close to 991, so you can ride without discomfort even if you switch to Panamera
(I had a hard time with the Macan Turbo. It improved in the latter model).
It has a more mature impression as a GT car (I have never used a turbo S).
I feel that the ability is more than enough for all-round usage such as long distances in Japanese towns.
I certainly feel the front heavy feeling you pointed out, but the momentary delay is very small as the steering rotates.
I think that it is a level that I feel because I have a 991 turbo S because the direction changes beautifully as much as I cut it.
I think this is due to the difference in the setting of the rear wheel snake.
I get the impression that the early model and the late model are in completely different cars.
Please test drive the late model Panamera and look forward to the blog comparing the early and late models.

Thank you for elaborating!
Panamera is a really good and wonderful car, isn't it?
I used to have a 970 Panamera edition in my house,
I was fully satisfied with that, but I remember being surprised at the evolution when I tried the 971.
In addition, I would like to write various test drive comparison reports!
Thank you for your continued support.
