Why is the Panamera so expensive
Discussion
Compared to the other models in the Porsche line up?
I know they are cracking cars, but even the base model is a lot more than say a Macan Turbo or a decent Cayenne.
Do you think its Porsche tax for the sake of it?
Also, does anyone else think the Cayenne and Macan handle better than the Panamera? Even though they are not lighter and the COG is higher, they seem to complete a lap of the local roundabout faster than the Panamera I had for a few days.
That said I'd still take a Panamera over a Macan Turbo any day, those cars have some sort of gravitational pull!

Some interesting comments. I suspect the Macan etc that was beating the Panamera on my local roads may have just been down to poor tyres/wrong PSI etc, I didnt bother to check!
Qu someone posting a video of an M5 beating a Turbo down a runway, as if its some daily occurrence.

Big Porsche fan here but does the Panamera Turbo offer much more than an F10 M5 for example, or are they chalk and cheese?
A Panamera is leagues ahead of an M5, you can't even compare them.Qu someone posting a video of an M5 beating a Turbo down a runway, as if its some daily occurrence.

I don't know guys. I am not entirely convinced. The BMW M5 has a pretty premium looking interior and the F12 M6 is a big step up from that too.
I'm not here extoling the virtues of BMW M cars but if you're paying £50,000+ for a Panamera over an M5/M6 I would want it to feel much much much more premium for the money.
Epic car though and a lovely looking thing in the right colour combo.
The F12 M6 is good I know but I do think the Panamera is a step up again, and thats not me being a fan boy.I'm not here extoling the virtues of BMW M cars but if you're paying £50,000+ for a Panamera over an M5/M6 I would want it to feel much much much more premium for the money.
