Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for

Demanding drivers: 3rd of 17 in 0–100 km/h (3.9 s), 2nd of 17 in Top speed (306 km/h), 5th of 17 in Power-to-weight (276 hp/t). 3rd of 17 in 0–100 km/h (3.9 s), 2nd of 17 in Top speed (306 km/h), 5th of 17 in Power-to-weight (276 hp/t).

Less suitable for

Frequent urban trips with stop-and-go. At 13,1 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: 3.9 s 0-100 (3rd of 17 in 0–100 km/h)

In pure acceleration, the Panamera Turbo S ranks 3rd of 17 in 0–100 km/h, 0.0 s off the reference Porsche Panamera Turbo (3.9 s).

Top speed: 306 km/h (2nd of 17 in Top speed)

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

Porsche Panamera Turbo S: 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 S rank in its segment?

Among the 17 limousines 2010–2014, the Panamera Turbo S ranks 3rd of 17 in 0–100 km/h (3.9 s, behind the Porsche Panamera Turbo), 2nd of 17 in Top speed (306 km/h, behind the Porsche Panamera Turbo S), 5th of 17 in Power-to-weight (276 hp/t, behind the Porsche Panamera Turbo S).

How much does the Panamera Turbo S 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 3.9 s). The choice depends on your priorities: check the Panamera Turbo S 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.
