If you go back and read the posts, you said the Turbo S will have + 550kg over the M5, and Phil replied he doubt the S will add more than 100kg over the M5 since the Turbo only added 45kg over the M5. The question I had with Bimmer6 was is there a regular Turbo S, which there isn't. |

Weight is a giant killer in track time (most of the time anyways), hence even a regular M4 non CP was quicker at the ring than the M5 CP by SA's test. The Turbo S E-Hybrid Executive is at least 310kg more than the Turbo Executive (according official figures on Porsche's website), makes me hard to believe it will be able to overcome the Turbo on the track despite the HP and Torque advantages. Plus I think if the Hybrid is even quicker than the Turbo, Porsche would have said it. Of course I could be wrong, but if I am a betting man, I would bet the lighter Turbo is a better track performer. |

I'd love one of these as a daily... only when they do a 5 seat option though... why are Porsche casually just forgetting about 6hp too... usually they love to squeeze every last HP out of a car especially in promo literature... it's 686 hp combined not 680. I'm quite aware It's immaterial anyway

Interesting commments around HP and lap times, not being anti-speed, but how fast can you really dive a 4000 lbs car or want too. When I tracked the M5 and M6 I vowed to never do it again it was not fun whipping all that weight around the track. By the way you can chew up a set of tires during one track day. Now as a fast luxo cruiser the M5 was great for me I just didn't have the need for 4 doors .....listened to the wife. Now the few times a year when we take the M4 and have a friend she says see I told you we needed 4 doors(:
I spoke to my Porsche dealer in the north east, and he said lease rates on the Turbo are over 3k including a down. I rather buy the thing and keep it for 5 years before I fork out over 100k on a lease. |

I love that car and will eventually own one in the future on the other hand this car will be almost $100 more than what the new M5 will be. Not sure if it's a good comparison! I think the Panamera Turbo is a better comparison to what the new M5 is going to be.

All this Panamera talk made me sell my M5. Although the new gen is fantastic the price is out of reach for me. I've always liked the old styling. I know I'm in the minority here.
Signed a deal for a 2012 Panamera Turbo S. It's being shipped cross country so the wait begins. Black on black full leather. 20" Turbo wheels. 30,000 miles / 45,000km. CPO for 2 years and in Canada we can renew CPO until 10 years from original in service date.

The engine is also totally relentless. It reminded me a lot of the F10 M5 engine above 70mph which is high praise given that it is AWD with the same HP. And the lag is non existent and the best I have experienced from a Turbo engine so far. Also the new nav interface is superb. Really quick. I'm totally smitten with this car. However it is too expensive for a second car given its depreciation pattern, and while we could go for a 4S, my wife also doesn't want something with too low a ride height either. She's decided to wait for the new GLC63S Coupe.

Either way I'm addicted to cornering speed and in that this car really excelled.
