Porsche Panamera Turbo S | INTER-STELLAR (EXEC) MISSILE | First Drive

The facelifted Panamera’s new flagship is the Turbo S with a 621bhp V8 and slightly refreshed styling that makes for a very convincing AMG GT four-door rival.

Interior

Little has changed on the inside – you get the steering wheel from the 911 and an upgraded centre infotainment display with wireless Apple CarPlay. And it remains a strict four-seat interior with space for large six-footers at the rear. It’s practical too, with space for knick-knacks, a large usable boot that’s accessed via a huge hatchback and of course a great sense of solidity and perceived quality across.
