Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for

Demanding drivers: 1st of 30 in 0–100 km/h (3.6 s), 1st of 30 in Top speed (308 km/h), 2nd of 30 in Power-to-weight (276 hp/t). 1st of 30 in 0–100 km/h (3.6 s), 1st of 30 in Top speed (308 km/h), 2nd of 30 in Power-to-weight (276 hp/t).

Less suitable for

Frequent urban trips with stop-and-go. At 11,2 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 Power-to-weight, the BMW M850i xDrive (1st with 280 hp/t) takes the lead.

Acceleration: 3.6 s 0-100 (1st of 30 in 0–100 km/h)

In pure acceleration, the Panamera Turbo ranks 1st of 30 in 0–100 km/h, 0.0 s off the reference Porsche Panamera Turbo (3.6 s).

Top speed: 308 km/h (1st of 30 in Top speed)

Top speed of 308 km/h. The segment reference reaches 308 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.

Among the 30 limousines 2016–2020, the Panamera Turbo ranks 1st of 30 in 0–100 km/h (3.6 s, behind the Porsche Panamera Turbo), 1st of 30 in Top speed (308 km/h, behind the Porsche Panamera Turbo), 2nd of 30 in Power-to-weight (276 hp/t, behind the BMW M850i xDrive).

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

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.
