Porsche Panamera Turbo Rental in Spain

The Porsche Panamera is a rather unique sedan, with sleek and sporty lines that make these four-seaters look more like a slightly larger racing car. The Panamera is offered in several versions, one of which is the Panamera Turbo radically toned by Porsche engineers to include in its propulsion system pair of compressors that raise its performance.

This version is approached from a new perspective, with a fresh design, a sportier trunk, and different revisions in its bodywork that provide the already sporty base version with an injection of steroids and power. They have a wilder look, perhaps to move it even further away from the “family” car segment.

If you like the Panamera, you will love the Panamera Turbo, with all those little elements that the company transferred from its big brothers, they washed a bit the face of this model to make it look more like a villain.

The Porsche Panamera is a very tempting option for long family trips, which guarantees safety on the road due to all its assistance and driving systems. One of these systems is the lane change assistant, which monitors the side area behind the vehicle and the driver’s view port using radar sensors, so when changing lanes the system informs by means of a visual signal in the mirrors that there are cars on a collision course.

But, if you want all that comfort, safety, and infotainment with a little more raw muscle than the traditional Panamera offers, which is quite a lot, you can opt for this, the Turbo version. With its V8 block it raises the driving sensation to another level, more aggressive, more oriented to highways without speed limits, and to have a fun time on open roads without worrying about load capacity.

This Turbo version of the Panamera was built based on the 4.0-liter displacement V8 block that Porsche obtained from the Volkswagen group and is found, for example, in the Touareg, or the Cayenne.

This engine gives the Panamera the ability to do 0 to 100 in 3.8 seconds with an output of 550 horsepower that is available in a rev range that goes from 5750 to 6000. It has a maximum torque of 770 newtons per meter available from 2000 to 4500 revolutions per minute.

To this block is added some wickedness with a biturbo intercooled configuration, that is, the air after being compressed, but before being introduced to the engine goes through a heat exchange system, which increases the density of the air achieving a more efficient combustion.

Porsche also offers a Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid version, which in addition to the combustion engine mounts an electric propulsion system that adds 136 horsepower. It mounts a set of lithium batteries rechargeable by regenerative braking and high-voltage charging stations.

The Turbo version offers a combined cycle consumption of 10.4 liters per 100 kilometers, and carbon dioxide emissions of 36.9 milligrams per kilometer, making even this non-hybridized version quite environmentally friendly.

The dynamic behavior of this turbo engine is quite similar to that of the 911 despite being a completely different configuration. But so much so that the difference between the two models with respect to zero to 100 is only 4 thousandths of a second.

The Panamera Turbo like the conventional version mounts the legendary PDK, a dual-clutch transmission system electronically connected, and 8-speed in this case, which provides smooth changes in the less aggressive versions. In this version has shorter and more dynamic changes in order to squeeze every last drop to the V8 Biturbo engine.

The Panamera is equipped with the PDK system together with an all-wheel drive system, which provides absolute grip in any driving conditions, as the vehicle’s sensors read the conditions of each tire. It adapts them so that all have the same amount of torque available and thus avoid loss of power, which depending on the circumstances result in skidding.

The Panamera occupies in all its versions, a luxury cinema with in the rear row, with the newly introduced Porsche Rear Seat Entertainment, which offers fully integrated and connected entertainment to enjoy while driving. The PRSE connects via WiFi to the vehicle’s head unit, and through this gets access to the radio, navigation, and all the data offered by the car.

One of the sound systems offered by Porsche is courtesy of the BOSE brand, with 14 amplified channels gives us an impressive 710 watts of sound quality, 13 speakers and a subwoofer, which provide a faithful and original equalization. It also equips a sound cancellation system, called Audiopilot Noise Compensation Technology, patented by the brand and that according to all the noises that occur inside the car adapts the music playback to keep it always of optimum quality.

There are several highlights throughout the Porsche Panamera, both exterior and interior. The exterior has not undergone major changes with respect to the conventional version of the car. The most notable difference is the front grille with more aggressive air intakes, and wheels with thinner spokes that reveal its carboceramic brakes.

On the inside we see an incredible instrument panel, which merges the analog and digital, and reminiscent of the golden era of Porsche and its racing division, but also opens the door to modernity.

In the center of the instrument cluster is the classic needle tachometer maintained by Porsche, and on either side of it are a pair of high-resolution displays on which various information can be viewed. For example, tire pressure or oil temperature, navigation control or some information from the entertainment center.

Another important feature is the four-zone climate control, which is divided into an area for the driver, one for the co-driver, and one for each of the crew members in the rear. In addition to regulating the temperature, it purifies the air, as it includes a carbon filter that keeps out airborne particles and eliminates odors.
