2016 2017 New Porsche Panamera 4s Executive, Price, 0-60, Specs, Review and Release Date
The car has been renewed a lot since the last model and this is quite obvious on the rear end where the stop lights are in a upper position and the top comes down in a different way, The rear wing is beautiful and look at it on the blue version, it's very nice and it pops up depending on the speed and when it goes down it goes back to its place

The car is 5.04m long, 1.94m wide, 1.42m tall with a wheel base measuring 2,950mm which is 30mm longer than the older version, The dimensions are pretty much the same as the older model but the engine range is different at the beginning there will be a V8 twin-turbo with 550HP with a torque of 770NM a 3.000cc V6 engine with an output of 440HP and a torque of 550NM very interesting is the 422HP diesel engine with a torque of 850NM which bring the car up to 285Km/h
all the cars have a PDK shift with 8 gears which allows to combine a sporty look with sporty performance, the car has a more slender profile compared to the older version
there are some details that remind other new
Porsche cars like Boxster's front lights with Matrix full LED adaptive lights which have a very complex design, I really like the LED lower lights, these are the active cruise control sensors the bonnet has deep nervations just like the side, which gives to the car a more aggressive and sporty look

let me show you the trunk. it has a load capacity of 495 liters and 1304L when the rear seats are lowered, there are some interesting details such as this net that can hold some small items, there are lights on both sides, there is a 12V outlet and there are some things underneath the trunk, we have the Dubmeister subwoofer and the tire repairing kit since we don't have a spare tire on this version, the trunk can be shut electronically.
this car has double exhausts with a polished aluminum finish, the 21inch rims are very nice with Yokohama Advan tires, the four-piston yellow brake caliper looks very good with the carbon-ceramic discs
let's go take a look at the front braking system of the Panamera 4s, here we find iron discs with 6-pot calipers
and let's go take a look at the front braking system of the Turbo it has a huge six-pot caliper which has been moved to the front of the disc the carbon-cearmic discs have a very nice "cracked" finish that give to the car a very sporty look.
the look is similar to the older version, yet it has been modified, just like the air intakes on the side, the rear stop light has been totally changed, the structure is very complicated and the lights are all LED, there is a triple line on the bottom, at the centre we find a protruded finish which comes from the 911 and then on the top there is a line that goes all the way to the other stop light, going over the Porsche logo that seems like it pops out from the light thanks to the piano black
this is the engine, it's very well done and clean with some lids that hide the filters and then there is the main cover for the 4.0L V8 diesel engine with an output of 422HP and a torque of 850Nm which can reach a top speed of 285Km/h
I'd like to show you how Porsche engineers have worked in order to save on the weight, reducing the dimension of the sound-insulating material which now is only on the top of the engine, closing the engine with some gaskets, it has been well thought either mechanically and technologically

let's see the interiors, starting form the door with leather on the top, carbon fibre, aluminum finishes and the leather again with piano black finishes and then we have the Dubmeister stereo, then we have an aluminum badged heel pad.
I really like the sporty seat with integrated headrest, we have perforated leather in the middle and on the sides while it ins't perforated on the outside, here we have all the switches for the seat adjustment an interesting thin is the power switch here that comes form the LeMans competition that reminds of when pilots turn on the car with the left hand while they fasten the seatbelt with their right hand. but like any other modern car, the key is no longer needed, looking at the dashboard we notice the stitching that make the connection between the dashboard and the door
while talking about the dashboard, it might look like it's very similar to the older one but many things have changed, the central instrument is the same analogical one but all the other are digital and can be set on different views and kind of information, you can also see the driving modes from here, another new feature is the 12.3inch display which is a very fast working touch screen, it works very well, the finishes here are in carbon fibre and aluminum with leather on top and on the bottom

the central tunnel is new and it has a similar design to the older one but instead of having standard switches, this car has digital ones which have a similar touch screen technology, but they make a click sound when pressed, there are some levers like this one for regulating the temperature, the one for the volume or the one that controls the infotainment system.

the shift lever has been renewed and it's very good looking, on the back we have the parking button but we can use it in manual mode, you can also shift from the paddles behind the steering wheel, the piano black switches are very well done, this car obviously has an active cruise control, the lights are automatic, then we have a glovebox underneath the armrest in which we have a USB port, an audio Jack and a 12V socket
all the things that you'll put in here can be well organized, here we have two bottle holders and here we have another small glovebox, I must admit that the interiors are very well done with the sky coated in Alcantara,
let's go take a look at the backseats, this new MSB platform allows to have a lot of space and great performances, you can see how much space I have in front of me, the central tunnel has the same design as the front one with a display that allows to use the infotainment system and to set the air temperature, there are three air vents in the back
