Review..
Close to 5 m, about 2 t, and yet this Panamera GTS spins with ease from one curve to another supernatural speeds. While playing on the road precious opera.

The front of the Porsche Panamera GTS ¨ has an incredible grip.

At Porsche, they have a special talent to derive the infinite variations of the same model. This is obviously the case of the 911, but not only. In the Panamera family, take a 4S with its full-successful-transmission and PDK dual-clutch seven-speed. Add to 4.8 V8 a pair of camshafts "sport", a second air intake and maximum speed increased from 6700 to 7100 rev / min, short circuit will gain 30 hp and 20 Nm of torque ( 430 hp and 520 Nm). Graft also the sports chassis lowered by 10 mm, the adaptive air suspension combined with the damping control, a wider rear track width of 5 mm and larger brakes of the Panamera Turbo.

Benefits
    Efficiency and agility
    V8 angry and very musical
    Driveability
    Can do anything

Pitfalls of
    Assisted steering too
    Paddle unusable
    Therefore overhead

The name "GTS" also appears on the front bucket seats.

Finally, to spice up the recipe, and everyone around in profits, add a particularly voluble exhaust, especially when the Sport button is pressed. You then get the GTS, although not as good as the Turbo, but certainly the sportiest of the range. Still charged € 12,500 more than the 4S (March 2012), the Panamera and rigged knows everything. You silently take on the big torque at a fancy dinner in the city, as defeat the nastiest GTI on the secondary network. Because the amazing "grip" of the front axle, combined with impeccable stability, traction and his imperial typical Porsche braking, so inexhaustible even circuit encourages use and abuse of 430 hp.

This limousine is almost forget it is nearly 5 ¨ m and weighs two ...

Impossible, therefore, to imagine being in command of a limo about 5 m and 2 t. Especially since the V8 roars furiously in, and more outside, where the gurgling gives way, beyond 3500 r / min, with a hoarse scream. To be seduced to 100%, but it lacks a consistent and communicative direction when the rate increases. A weakness that even Servotronic option (variable assistance) does not compensate. And these palettes shift, too short and mostly fixed on the steering wheel, so inaccessible in turn, are horrifying!
Despite its weight of two tons, the Porsche Panamera GTS ¨ do not hesitate to ...
