I'm looking for a new daily driver with good gas mileage and fun to drive and I think a 6 cylinder Panamera will fit the bill. Does anyone know for sure whether it will be available in a 6 cylinder version? I know the Panamera is coming out soon in an 8 cylinder with Turbo. Thanks in advance.

 

They are coming with a V6-Hybrid (and maybe also with a pure V6) soon after the V8 and TT:

They should put the Boxer 6 into the Panamera.... It will then be a real Porsche instead of a VW/Audi..... Who wants to drive in a Porsche that has a VW drivetrain? Not me....... If that is the case I will buy a VW.

 

That's what our local dealer told us as well.

Anyone know how Porsche can claim the 4s does 0-60 in .2 faster then the S.

Same Motor, Same Power, Same PDK.

But, the 4S is actually heavier.

Even Local dealer cannot figure that one out.

.

 

They say its the traction on the 4S that gives the edge over the S.

 

better launch...0-60 = AWD hands down. (not always but this case, i believe so)

 

Still very strange, how a heavier car pulls faster 0-60 and 1/4 mile times.

Specially since only 400hp.

If it was the turbo or had 500 + could understand tires lossing grip.

.

 

Must be somewhat shorter final drive ( more torque to spin all that extra hardware)
in which case 4S must have slightly lower top speed .

 

Same Ratio's as well.
