When I watched this the other day, it was amazing how well that car would exit corners. Just seemed like a rocket, if you happen to see the host drive it before the test, he uses launch control and looked like the front wanted to lift

 

No offense- but no matter how fast the TT PANAMERA is it's still FUGLY.

 

Don`t worry, i don`t feel offended. I support both brands and cars.
Both cars sell very well in their segments. The Pana isn`t a beauty at first sight that´s true, but after having seen a couple of them in real life (esp. with bigger wheels and lowered) i am starting to love `em and u can`t argue with the performance, it is staggering.
The much lighter midengined Balboni with a 50 HP advantage clearly beaten by a heavy full size 4-door sedan on a track.
Pretty amazing result imho.

 

I'm with you. Although when I first saw the car I loved everything about it except the rear quarter. Until i went down to the dealer to see for myself.
Imo its one of the most tastefully aggressive looking cars on the road.
Fast, respected, useable.

I personally will be buying a v6 pany for a daily driver once they start rolling off of their leases.
The car fits perfectly for my current high mileage lifestyle, room for 4, a useable trunk and camry like economy.

As of now the turbo cars in my stable will be limited to two doors, but that will almost certainly change once my driving habits change for daily living.

 

Definitely a suprise that behemoth could circle the track that quick.

 

Ya the car is cool. Not the best looking but i take my hate off it is performance.

BTW 8) I hate this show. Every one except Tanner should be replaced. It needs a better producer too!

 

why is it in B&W? eek!

 

+1 for that

 

That's insane! Was the Balboni's lap damp or wet? That's pretty embarrasing to get beat on a track by a vehicle of that nature...

Edit-+ Can't see the above video, blocked @ work.

 

That is pretty sad a Lambo can't beat a 4300lb sedan.

 

its kinda crazy that porsche could build a 4000+ pound sedan that can still handle the track so well. it's not as much of an insult to lamborghini (the balboni is an amazing car), but rather a tip of the hat to porsche.

 

+1 !!
