2017 Porsche Panamera Turbo Car Review

- The all-new second generation Panamera trims its backside. If you want to check it out, do it quickly because the luxurious Turbo model is very fast. Tom Voelk reviews the Porsche Panamera Turbo S model.
About Tom:
Tom Voelk is an award-winning automotive contributor to The New York Times. His podcast was the first to win an Emmy Award. He also married way out of his league. Now, stop reading this promotional copy bragging about Tom's photography and editing skills and watch a couple episodes. It's much more interesting.

To all of the folks commenting on the end of the video, I know people that have ruined their paint with pressure washers.
I have had pro detailers give both thumbs up and down to my statement to never wash a car with a pressure washer. BUT, most of the detail guys I know do not recommend it. It's probably okay so long as the nozzle is a safe distance away (a least couple feet). Common sense applies here.
And for those commenting about the circular motions, yes, obviously straight lines are better. I was distracted by doing stuff to camera. And I knew there was XPEL on the whole hood. But you all didn't know that.
Hopefully we can all sleep easier now. Cheers! TV
Love your reviews. I drive a 2015 Cayman S, and had the opportunity to talk to an owner of a new Panamera. She has had for a couple of months and absolutely loves it. She stated she drove at160 kph, on her trip from Vancouver, and it rode beautifully. At the end of our conversation I informed her I was a police officer. After her gasp, I said they're made to go fast.
No one comes close to the quality an finish of Porsche!!!
ABSOLUTELY. Best build quality amongst major luxury brands, excluding hyper luxury marques such as Bentley etc
"Sometimes you just want to grab a knob." That's what she said !

The new Panamera really is the Trump of Porsche Sedans - an improvement on the last generation (Barry Soetoro)

Great review Tom! I've been waiting for this one! You're one of the first to do the new panamera turbo. Thanks!
Porsche is the best car company in my opinion without a doubt. You have SUVs (Cayenne) Sport Cars (911, Carrera) and Luxury Cars (Panamera) they have speed and functionality. I love Porsche.
Yea they have something for everyone. I like all their cars but I personally wouldn't buy a high end 911. With that kind of money I could have something much more special (in my opinion) than a 911. The panamera is a masterpiece though, definitely the first car I would want to get out of my list.
Great review, one of the best car reviewer around, Think it's a crime that this channel does not have more subscribers...
Hi Tom, you are sensational.. I have seen your other reviews, especially like the 911 GTS one you did.. But this one takes the cake.. And great advice on pressure washing. Stay busy, and keep smiling.. :)
Thank you very much for the effort you go through to keep a clean vehicle for the reviews. I can't tell you how much it bugs me to see dirty/dusty cars (inside and out) on an online car review.
Thanks for the excellent review Tom. I have to use cruise control in my Porsche/Audis otherwise my licence would be gone within days.
HOLY DAMN, THAT INTERIOR IS SIMPLY STUNNING
Amazing work as always...
... And I will never pressure wash my car ever again 😂
Good plan Sedrick. The test is always this- would you want to feel it on your own skin? Pressure washing would not be a comfortable thing...
Thanks for this review Tom! This car is absolutely stunning, inside and out. I will watch this review a few more times.... great job as always....
Have you seen it in real life ? I was disappointed, it looks like a Jag....
jody024 really? I'll see it at the NY car show next month. From the pics and videos, it looks menacing, especially with the optional 20 inch low pros....
Great review and great remarks at the end!
Thanks for the tips Tom... Love your review!
I'm drooling here.
Thanks for the review.
Very well done review👍🏼
Great fun review. I love my Panamera
Love your reviews!
good advice at the end, sadly my car is so old I could use sandpaper to clean it and it would no difference, lol :) Great car review, yet again.
This one looks way better than it should, only because of how bad the previous gen looked. I couldnt believe when you mentioned pricing. Seems a bit steep!
Great review !!
great review! the new Panamera is the full pkg. AWD V8TT DualClutch 4Doors.. no one can compete with it IMO
Great review!
Other cleaning tips. Always use micro fiber towels to dry the car off. If someone says "just use an old t-shirt, don't listen to them. Spend the money. It's worth it. Also, after your done with cleaning the car, spray the inside and outside of the windows with glass cleaner. All of the leftover soap scum will be gone. I love the review and this car. The interior is stunning.
Yes, and work your way down, finishing the bottom last. That's where the grit lingers.
The car is gorgeous inside and out. If I need a sedan in the future I would get this for sure.
Great review, and great haircut.
awesome review
Excellent!
There is actually a kick to open and kick close tailgate, and an ambient lighting option that is extremely nice
What a machine.....knocked this one out of the park. The new wagon (Sport) is also very cool. Hand car washing = zen time.
Tom, with all your great reviews lately it just leaves me wondering... what has evil twin been up to??
What does this compete with? 6 series/CLS or 7 series/S Class?
great greatt greatt review 👍
Ok so I have decided what car I want. Now how to get the money....hmm
I'm with you there, and as for the maintenance/ servicing costs, gulp, guess if you can afford to buy one, that is not a problem. :)
Hi Tom,That's great as usual,Didn't you go to Geneva?
It's been my dream car for the past 4 years
Very nice.
also dont use circular motions, Tom! That is what causes swirls. Use the 'as the air moves over the car' method. Straight lines!
Yup, true. I was distracted while trying to say something coherent.
at least your ELR is in the back ground! BTW i used your tip about the heater controls on my volt Worked swimmingly! Also, yesterday i went 40.4 all electric miles (Renton to Kirkland and back) on a charge that started with only 32. Lovin it.
Nicely done!
Great review, and I agree only ever hand wash a car
where can i buy one
I am not q sedan guy, but oh that exhaust note and those lines... And the new Sport Turismo wagon... WAGON!!!
Whch probably won't be sold in the US.....because you are idiots.
kraenk12 It was already announced for US sale, and I like wagons. Thanks for showing your maturity level by attacking a random person on the internet. You should be proud.
Don't be so overly sensitive, I was kidding partly, partly exaggerrating....it's simply a sad fact Americans prefer SUV to wagons which is the reason they usually don't get to buy them.
Thanks for the car washing tips Tom. My wife thought I was crazy until she heard your remarks. Now I can wash my cars properly without getting b)thched at. Too bad this turbo is so expensive. Looks like I'll be limited to a cheaper model. Anyway.
Why is there no turbo S model? I cant find any information on this.
AMAZING PHOTOGRAPHY, ALSO MAKE A DOCUMENTARY ON A PORSCHE
I did not know you had that launch in you, Mr. Voelk.
Thanks for the car-washing tips! Out of curiosity, what's your personal ride? And do you take it through automatic car washes?
Eric Francis Thats his Cadillac ELR in the background.
Do a new review on the Porsche cayenne 2017
my fav car
What is a “Dool Clutch”?
Looks much better now.
2:16, if it is brand new model for the dual clutch 8-speed? I would definitely wait for the next gen, because Porsche..!
Please do review the Audi RS7 Performance
Absolutely right with the washing
I´m going to buy one. Just because of the rear wing :-)
so nice car and they put those horror wheels .if i will buy this definitely change wheels .
Tom looks great with his new hairdo.
Hahaha, I wanted to say something, but I didn't want to be "that guy". You're right, it suits him very well.
Its really gone from being an eye-sore to the most beautiful saloon on the planet.
everything about this car is excellent the rear transformer like Iron man suit is my problem
Wow! My ultimate sports sedan (S550) has now been replaced with this bad boy!
It's good.
3:38, more like a NOS effect from movies :)
damn i wish i could afford one, blacked out on the outside, either red or cognac on the inside, that would be nice...
Thanks, Tom.
Your wife called. She agrees with you...this time ;)
Kirkland should sponsor you!
What kinda shoes you wearing Tom?
Just a classic desert boot.
That's not the last model you forgot the facelift plus it was the best looking car out in the street vs every other car
Ps3user1234567890 there is no facelift, this is a brand new car
RB26DETT there is people always think of the panamera of the year 09-13 but a facelift came out in 2014-2016 which looks better.this new panamera looks kinda ugly since the 911 looks outdated they should have of went with the Cayman look
2:50, the exhaust note is awesome, but that's just me.
I like this review way better than that borker guy...
Fresh haircut, Tom.
My friend Fred cuts my hair, I have no choice in the matter. It's important for me to be nice to him...
Which one is your favourite? 1-Porsche panamera turbo turismo 2-Mercedes Benz Cls shooting brake AMG. 3-Audi RS6 Avant
1) Panamera (the interior makes the difference for me)
2) RS6
....
....
long time nothing
....
The AMG
That sounds like a gas powered pressure washer, which tends to be quite powerful. I don't really see a problem with pressure washing a car, with proper caution. I use my electric one with a filter (standard 10" insert) ahead of it to prevent it from shooting out little particles at the car. I can't imagine it being worse than touching the finish. *shrug*
Also, I always take the wheels off and pressure wash them separately, away from the car. I can't even imagine waxing the wheel while it's still on the car. I do front and back, every nooks and crannies. It takes hours.
You are correct on this. r/detailing would tell you it works but to be wise.
Wow catspat! You take the wheels off? You have me beat on that. I commend you!
A master detailer once told me, if you don't want something happening on your skin, don't do it to your car. He was just one of the people that told me pressure washing is bad. I have a friend that "washed" a piece of paint the size of hew fist off her car. In general, it's a bad idea.
Driven Car Reviews Pressure washing will not ruin your paint, unless of course, you place the nozzle and inch away from the surface. Pressure washing actually cleans the the surface more efficiently and uses less water than a conventional hose. Every professional detailer uses a pressure washer as part of their cleaning routine, which is essential when applying a beautiful soap application known as "snow-foam."
GravityFighter that's what happened to me. There is a small piece of paint that came off, but it's black on black, so it's hard to see. However, I also took off the red Pontiac emblem in the same day. I gave up after that.
Matthew Longtin The question that begs to be answered is close was the nozzle to the surface you where spraying? I assume less than 10 inches? Common sense would dictate no closer? Seriously, the mindset of not using a pressure washer is ridiculous!
The night vision is perfect for drunk driving!
WTF is he doing at the end, introducing swirl marks into that beautiful Porsche.
This is ugly and beautiful at the same time.
kraenk12 it's unorthodox I guess is a better word. It's just a weird design but especially with the revamp, Porsche has somehow made it work.
mike wellington your sister is ugly..
Ed will like I said, it's just a weird concept that Porsche makes work. And I don't have a sister ;)
You're really good for remaining calm and not dipping to there level of expression. A calm and rational person...that's what I get and I thinks that's a very good thing.
There's too much hate out there, no need to spread more :) Thank you for the nice words.
I wished their was a 5 seater model
The new Panamera Sport Turismo model seats five.
Driven Car Reviews is it coming to the US?
Yes, I just drove it this weekend. Available with four different powertrains.
Great video, I posted my review on my RUclips channel
"Don't pressure wash your car" unless you are Obsessed Garage 😉
Seriously, one of the big complaints of motoring journalists was the number of buttons and knobs in Porsche's central console... now it's the lack of them! Not even Jesus could please everybody, how could Porsche do it!?
Uh, I wasn't complaining about the new setup...
Fair enough! It actually looks like a very clean interior setup!
Rather have a P100D
I prefer the 970 turbo. Porsche got everything right the first time. This new "refined" 971 looks too similar to other vehicles.
Wonder if your neighbor watches your videos?
Pretty sure they don't
"Sounds like a porno film" hahaha
so basically, less J. Lo, more Scarlett Johanssen.
lol at "when you just want to grab a knob" that's what she said.
People these days are struggling with lack of knobs in exchange for a touchscreens. Why does the manufacturers won't listen? Skoda Kodiaq have knobs and this is great move, same as with the hard keys buttons - driver can feel them not putting his eyes from the road to operate car's functions. Are the cars manufacturers like apple? Are they trying to ignore customers' needs to save money but not lowering the prices?
Apple carPlay? The same backwarded piece of crap as apple's iphone 7? Jesus...
WTF world?
My ex step mother bought the previous generation for her 20 something male sugarbaby with my dad's money.
Underdog! No. No I don't remember.
LOL this is even worse. As a former Porsche owner and PCA member, this latest example is exactly why I left Porsche. The rear is even more hatchback looking which is what makes it look out of proportion. LOL. Mercedes S Class owners aren't concerned and Tesla is faster.
07:55 A pressure-washer will ruin the paint? What kind of stupid bullshit is that? Maybe if you hold the nozzle 1 inch away from the paint but otherwise that is simply not true. I probably know 5 or 6 professional high-end detailers and they all use pressure washers. I machine-polish my car once every two years and inbetween I wash it every 2 weeks with a 2-bucket system, microfiber washing gloves, a prewash with citrus and I do all the cleaning and washing off the prewash and the car-shampoo with a pressure washer. And after those 2 years the paint still looks great - so I actually did not have to polish it - I only do it, because i want to make my paint look like on a new car.
But to make a long story short: In order to destroy the paint with a pressure washer you really have to fuck up very, very, very, very badly with the pressure washer.
I've seen too many of these already, i got bored already.
I like the original better
Wanna get a Porsche with a 5th passenger, get a Cayenne or Macan.
Or the new Panamera Sport Turismo....If you're not living in the US that is.
Got a point. Why can't we get THAT version stateside?
Sport Turismo is coming to the US.
You will get it soon.
Can't take your pressure washing comment seriously because I am too busy cringing at you making circular scratches into your paint.
the design at the rear just sucks, that zooming feature is so laggy. touch buttons on central console?? !!!! jeasus christ
This guy owns a crap load of toilet paper.
I really wish there was an alternative to a leather interior. I would never buy leather.
Inspiration to be a thief
In two years is electric , waist of time this .......
Still ugly and too expensive, get the new Audi A7 for cheap.
