Panamera Test Drive

Postby John Straub on Fri Aug 21, 2009 4:11 pm

I don't want you guys to think I'm gone over to the other side(with a newer car or something)...but while I was up running at the Historics in Monterey last weekend, I got invited to test drive the new Panamera.

What a great car! It hauls butt!!! The one thing that really sticks in my mind is, it really feels like a smaller car when you are driving it...just like a sports car. If you put the car on full "sports", no or very little lean in corners.

The paddle shifters are great fun, but it took me some time to learn how to use them. :oops: Monique and I had the car for about a hour on the Carmel Canyon roads. :D

Now we will need to come up with a Autocross class for it.
