Panamera Sport Turismo, at last.

About a month ago, I wrote an article about my brother-in-law buying a Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo.

→Refer to the article: the Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo came to my house yesterday!

My husband recently rented that Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo and drove it home.

Since I was so interested in this article, I did a test drive comparison to see how our Panamera Turbo differs from my brother-in-law's Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo.I'd like to share with you some of the differences between the two units as I perceive them.I think.

That morning, after dropping my daughters off at kindergarten and daycare, I headed to Ashiu Driveway with two cars, a Panamera and a Panamera Sport Turismo.

The difference is not only in appearance

As we exited the Ashiu Driveway toll booth, my husband and I switched driving duties and I was allowed to drive the Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo to the observation deck. Although it is an option, the center console accessory compartment has a "Panamera turboThe words "The.

I had thought, "Even though this is a sports Turismo, it just looks different from the Panamera," but I was surprised when I test-drove the car.The Panamera Turbo and the Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo had very different ride quality.

My test drive lasted only about 10 minutes, but that was still enough time to feel the differences. Now, I would like to introduce the four major differences I felt and my overall evaluation.

Difference: (1) to (3)

(1) Light to ride

Sport Turismo is aVery light and smooth slide when acceleratingIt was. The Panamera Turbo was heavier and felt more massive. The handling was also more responsive and it was as if the Panamera was one size smaller.

(2) Hard undercarriage

Our Panamera Turbo and the Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo have the same wheels and tires, plus air suspension, butThe Sport Turismo seemed to have a much firmer suspension.The Sport Turismo had the air pressure set a little low for the owner's preference, so if the air pressure were set to the standard value, the suspension would probably feel even stiffer.

However, according to my brother-in-law, the Macan Turbo he used to own had a smoother ride.

(3) Quiet

Overall, the sound is quiet. The Sport Turismo we test-drove this time does not have a sport exhaust system, but we plan to install one in the future.There was not much change in sound when the car was set to Normal mode and Sport/Sport Plus mode.I thought it might be because the windows were closed, so I opened them, but still did not feel any particular difference.

Our Panamera Turbo has the sport exhaust feature.If you want to feel the full sound of the V8 engine, the optional sports exhaust is a must.It may be.
