Panamera Turbo S
#16
Driving Turbo S (PTTS? since one month. 3000 miles+ so far, I would risk saying it's the best car in the world for superhighways. Very fast, and I can easily do 600+ miles at a really high speed without a break and fatigue.. I got noise insulated glass though so it certainly helps.

The cabin soundproofing (with noise insulated glass) is another reason why I think it's the top performer when it comes to covering longer distances on super highways.

Well it's not really all about the speed. It's about the insane stability that car provides at higher speeds. I can hear strong wind, almost "feel" it on the windshield wipers, but it doesn't affect the car at all. It just goes like there was no wind at all. Something unbelievable, especially when compared to Cayenne Turbo which I also drive, or some other non-P cars (Audi A5 for instance), in which the faster I go, the more I need to "counter steer" the wind force.

I too have the insulated glass as an extra though as it is doable on a regular PTT.

The turbo S adds $32850 of options that are standard and would have to be added to the turbo model. So you still pay an additional $3650 for the S if you ordered all the standard options on the turbo. For the $3650 you get a painted rear wing and sport design side skirts (no option for the turbo) plus the extra 10 HP. So not a bad deal. I think the point is that Porsche knows that most turbo buyers will not be willing to spend $170K for the turbo plus add other options. You could hit 185K easy. Resell would hit you hard. That my guess anyway.

What is the difference between the standard vs sport design side skirts? reason i ask is that my 4s (delivery this saturday) has the sport design package, the difference is so subtle that im not sure i can tell the difference. Yes the front bumper looks much more agressive and the rear diffuser/apron is painted, but the sideskirts...

I couldnt spot the difference too and I dont think they make a huge difference, but I think there is a little more extended lip if you look closely at the sport design in the 2011 tequipment vs the 2010 tequipment caalog front.

Found this white one with bodykit, in white you can see the sideskirts are definitely more curvaceous.

Still the only review I have found of this car. Only thing I could understand was 3 seconds 0-100! =)

Actually thinking of trading in my 997 and Cayenne for one...with European delivery and a month on the Autobahn

It's all relative. As soon as you drive off the lot you take a hit with ANY car. If that's a concern then lease it. And at these price points anybody forking over cash or payments on a Turbo or Turbo S really isn't worried about that.
