PORSCHE Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo

There’s a go-fast button called Sport Response - Activated by pressing the button in the middle of the drive mode selector on the steering wheel, Sport Response tells the transmission to downshift to the lowest gear possible, sets everything in the computer to Sport+ , and provides a power boost for a time interval of 20 seconds. There’s even a cool countdown ticker that shows up on the partially digital gauge cluster. It’s an epic way to pass slow trucks on rural two-lane thoroughfares—or scare your passengers.
Rumor has it that the Panamera Turbo has more lines of code than any current Boeing commercial jetliner. Totally believable because the 2017 Panamera’s “Porsche Advanced Cockpit” makes you feel like Captain Jean-Luc Picard, piloting a German interpretation of the USS Starship Enterprise on wheels.
Keeping the ride quality superb and the body flat in corners are Porsche’s Active Suspension Management and 4D Chassis Control systems. It may sound like fancy stuff, because it is. But how it all makes this Panamera handle like something half its size is the truly astonishing part.
