Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for

Demanding drivers: 3rd of 9 in 0–100 km/h (4.1 s), 3rd of 9 in Top speed (303 km/h), 2nd of 9 in Power-to-weight (279 hp/t). 3rd of 9 in 0–100 km/h (4.1 s), 3rd of 9 in Top speed (303 km/h), 2nd of 9 in Power-to-weight (279 hp/t).

Less suitable for

Frequent urban trips with stop-and-go. At 12,7 L/100 km on the combined cycle, consumption rises in the city without electric assistance. An HEV or PHEV would be more economical for this use profile.

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is 0–100 km/h, the Porsche Panamera Turbo (1st with 3.9 s) takes the lead. If the priority is Top speed, the Porsche Panamera Turbo S (1st with 306 km/h) takes the lead.

Acceleration: 4.1 s 0-100 (3rd of 9 in 0–100 km/h)

In pure acceleration, the Panamera Turbo ranks 3rd of 9 in 0–100 km/h, 0.2 s off the reference Porsche Panamera Turbo (3.9 s).

Top speed: 303 km/h (3rd of 9 in Top speed)

Top speed of 303 km/h. The segment reference reaches 306 km/h.

Porsche Panamera Turbo: what you need to know

Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.

Where does the Panamera Turbo rank in its segment?

Among the 9 limousines 2008–2012, the Panamera Turbo ranks 3rd of 9 in 0–100 km/h (4.1 s, behind the Porsche Panamera Turbo), 3rd of 9 in Top speed (303 km/h, behind the Porsche Panamera Turbo S), 2nd of 9 in Power-to-weight (279 hp/t, behind the Porsche Panamera Turbo).

How much does the Panamera Turbo cost to run?

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

Why not a Porsche Panamera Turbo instead?

The Porsche Panamera Turbo leads in 0–100 km/h (3.9 s vs 4.1 s). The choice depends on your priorities: check the Panamera Turbo vs Porsche Panamera Turbo duel for a detailed comparison.

How does Caralogy calculate its figures?

Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
