wait, wtf is going on.
0-60: 4.6s 1/4: 12.8s @ 109 60-0: 108ft slalom: 67mph skidpad: 0.92g all these numbers meet and/or exceed an e92 335i's. considering the skidpad figures, it's gotta be roling on barrels made of glue to generate those numbers. the gearing must be ridiculously short too.

never have, but it's really this new gen that weighs ~400lbs less that's surprising.

THe Cayenne Turbo has all sorts of technology that the 3 doesn't...including a suspension which can adapt to cornering stresses ...porsche torque vectoring on its AWD system That PDCC thing or whatever is especially impressive...it basically keeps a porsche (911, panamera, cayenne...2S, they all have it...options on some) flat through corners by altering the stiffness of the suspension during cornering. The 3 series has a standard coil suspension Which is probably better for value and the fact that its easier to service than an air suspension. The engine is a 500 HP and OVER 500 lb foot torque twin turbo V-8 used in the Panamera Turbo. Its a monster. It also uses direct injection. |

Case in point: here's a 750i optioned without ARS vs an S550 with ARS. The 750i looks like a whale bouncing all over the place. [u2b]R0LIau58Hdg&start=96[/u2b] A standard coil suspension can be a perfectly adequate compromise. You'll find adjustable air/magnetic suspensions in higher end cars to provide different levels of ride comfort.

The Panamera T is quicker but at 25K less I would go for the Cayenne T if wanting a P as a multi passenger fit.

another problem with the air suspension is its tendency to go wrong over time. Its a very expensive fix. Still impressive what it can do. |

^ I don't think so since they now offer the Powerkit for the PTT through the factory Individualization Programme. Bigger turbos etc. 540hp.

Nah, they'll make a Turbo S...Porsche/VW group knows how to milk the brand.
Eventually it looks like Porsche brand will get devalued with a cheap Cayenne (the Cajun) and a cheaper boxster coming out. Panamera is good if you get the V6 or V8...the TT is too expensive, and not much more status. Its like the people who buy the 323 BMW here....chicks can't tell the diff between a 335 and 323! |
