I am considering buying a Panamera, hopefully with change from £50k.

Is there much of a difference between the gen 1 4S and gen 1 turbo, besides the power?

What about brakes, suspension, tyres, equipment etc?

Typically I find turbo cars a bit dull as I enjoy revving them out, but I'd be interested to hear if anyone has driven both.

One last thing, would I be nuts to consider a gen 2 diesel? I have spent sometime in one and yes I did love it but I just don't know if I can spend such a vast amount of money on a car with a diesel engine, not only that but I noticed it had severe traction issues in the wet. Not fun.

What are the differences in brakes between the models?

I will consider a GTS but the argument is the same, will I prefer revving the naturally aspirated V8 out or do these cars deserve the turbo engine? I don’t really like turbo engines but I did drive a 991.2S and oh my god I need that in my life!

Only disappointing thing is the insurance quotes I have been getting are over twice the price of my Cayman (even more than an 981 of greater value).
