Panamera GTS first drive video

Just bought a 2013 Panamera GTS and took my brother and son for a drive. We came close to getting busted by the cops when testing Launch Control. Watch my family's reaction the the speed of this car and our close call with the police.

Not based on the video showing the car leaning around the corners.

nice video especially the sound.... especially like the part when you did the launch control in front of the cop. i am guessing one of three things happened a) the cop is a porsche fan b) you have wicked reflexes that complemented the wicked brakes on the PGTS, or c) the cop had his/her head buried in a donut....

congrats on the car.

No PDCC which is evident in the roll around the corner. Wish I had it.

I had a loaded GTS as a press car last November, and man did I love it. It's one of the few cars I didn't want to give up. Damnit that thing was amazing.

Congrats on the purchase.

Here's the car I had as a tester:

The sad new was on my first road trip, with the PGTS less than a day old, while driving along I84 in Nevada, a jack rabbit ran across the highway and I hit it doing 85. The rabbit blew a hole in the plastic grill on the front end, and tore my bumper. Rotten luck for me and especially the rabbit.

Bummer on the damage - although sounds like nothing that can't be fixed to as good as new. Good thing you were taking it easy during break-in. In a month you'll be going a lot faster than 85...

Question: where the bumper tore there is a 3 inch bubble where the clear coat bra separated from the bumper. Will the Auto body shop be able to get the clear coat to adhere or will i need a complete new bra?
