2017 Panamera 4 E hybrid

[jamesbilluk]

Well, the little GR has gone (whilst I very much enjoyed it, we found it too small really, which I should have realised) And we weren't tending to use it, which was a shame.

I've always liked the look of the facelift Panameras and have been keeping an eye on the prices.. Fast forward,

Just arrived thismorning 😎

Absolutely thrilled with it! For 65000 miles the paint is in great condition, but it seems to have a ceramic coating applied to it. Looking forward to taking it for a drive later! I've just been standing outside looking at it, with the suspension set to low.

It's a 4 E hybrid, so 460hp, and a heap of torque, and should be able to do 30 ish miles on a charge. It's GT Silver, with saddle brown and Luxor beige interior (slightly more dark than I remember) and wood trim. I've had a good drive this afternoon, such a good blend of performance, and practicality, even though its bloody big.. And sounds great too. Even the daughter likes it. Says its her favourite. Looking forward to many more miles in it (and holding on to this one!!)

Really pleased with it, certainly quite a change from a small light weight hatch back, to a large saloon.. Seems much larger than I remember.

Nice, like that especially the interior. Has that one got the V6 turbo Audi lump?

Lovely interior that

Thank you

Yeah, it's the 2.9 V6 used in the RS4/RS5 I think.

Me too!

A remapped hybrid is an absolute beast.

That thought was already starting to make its way into my mind

I wondered if the remapped engine still synced with the motors though.

That interior looks fabulous, especially with the wood.

Thank you, I was unsure to begin with, but really like it now, makes it a very special place to spend time (and doesn't scratch like piano black!)

Wow, this car looks amazing!
