The Panamera comes with some impressive performance figures, too, with the entry level model boasting a 0 – 62mph time of 5.3 seconds and a top speed of 169mph. For an even sportier tuning of the engine and chassis, you can add on the Sport Chrono Package. The Panamera is underpinned by a sophisticated chassis which has Porsche Active Suspension Management as standard to improve ride quality and comfort. Rear-axle steering is an option, further increasing performance whilst also making the Panamera even easier to live with.
