Porsche Panamera [2017-2023]

An intimidating beast

<p>The Panamera might not be striking to look at but its size and huge proportions make it all the more exciting to drive on Indian roads. It grabs a lot of attention, which is the whole point of owning a big Porsche like the Panamera.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Porsche has rolled out a new Manthey Kit for the 992.2-generation 911 GT3, created with Manthey Racing to improve its performance on a track. The development teams at Porsche’s Weissach Centre and Manthey Racing worked together to raise downforce and cornering ability without adding extra drag. The kit updates the aerodynamics, suspension and braking hardware to help the car stay stable during long track sessions. </p><p><a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/porsche/">Porsche</a> says the goal is to help the 911 GT3 carry more speed through corners, remain steady under different loads and deliver consistent lap times. All updates are made without changing the engine, showing the focus is on engineering, setup and efficiency rather than increasing power output.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/porsche-cayenne-electric-price-in-india-announced-gets-up-to-1140bhp-122270/">Porsche Cayenne Electric Price In India Announced — Gets Up To 1,140bhp!</a></p><p>The aerodynamic updates include a front lip extended by 12 millimetres, along with front diffuser fins and side flaps that increase pressure at the front axle. At the rear, the 911 GT3 now uses a swan-neck wing with a Gurney flap and larger end plates that guide airflow. A revised rear diffuser with longer fins improves stability, while carbon-fibre discs on the rear wheels help reduce drag during fast circuit runs.</p><p>

Drivers can fine-tune rebound and compression damping based on track conditions. Porsche has also increased the front axle spring rates by 10 per cent compared to the previous Manthey kit. This change boosts mechanical grip and helps the car stay predictable during corner entry, load shifts and when driving over kerbs.</p><p>

Porsche focuses on driver control and clear feedback, making sure the updates suit both track use and daily driving. The cabin remains familiar but includes small track-focused elements that support the car’s purpose on a circuit.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/2025-porsche-911-turbo-s-launched-in-india-at-rs-38-crore-122152/">2025 Porsche 911 Turbo S Launched in India at Rs 3.8 Crore</a></p><p>The 4.0-litre flat-six engine stays unchanged. Instead, the Manthey Kit aims to improve handling and aerodynamic efficiency so the car can use its power better under track conditions. Porsche says the latest setup makes the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/porsche/911-gt3/">911 GT3</a> almost three seconds quicker around the Nurburgring compared to the earlier generation fitted with the older Manthey kit.<br><br></p>

Porsche 911 GT3 Gains New Manthey Kit With Track-Focused Aero Upgrades

The new Manthey Kit for the Porsche 911 GT3 improves downforce, handling and stability with aero and suspension updates, helping the car run faster laps.

<p>Porsche Motorsport will expand its Formula E programme from the 2026-27 season by introducing a second factory team, becoming the first manufacturer to operate four works cars on the grid. The new structure will bring the total number of Porsche-powered entries to six. The move forms part of Porsche’s long-term strategy to strengthen its role in electric racing through a parallel operational setup. The additional team will create a framework for technical continuity and resource efficiency as Formula E enters its next development phase.&nbsp;Porsche aims to give the second team a standalone identity while maintaining performance parity. </p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/motorsport-news/formula-e-gen4-car-revealed-with-789bhp-all-wheel-drive-powertrain-122103/">Formula E Gen4 Car Revealed with 789bhp All-Wheel-Drive Powertrain</a></p><p>Thomas Laudenbach, Vice President Porsche Motorsport: 'Motorsport shapes our brand. Our heritage in traditional motorsport is unique and is reflected in every Porsche. In the future, we want to be able to say the same about electric motorsport. Compared to other racing series, Formula E offers a very attractive balance between effort and return. It also gives us the opportunity to further develop technical solutions that are relevant to our production sports cars. Among other things, we want to use this operational shift to find and promote new talent at all levels, not just drivers.'</p><p>

It will manage its own technical and sporting programmes while running under the Porsche banner. The structure will allow new drivers, engineers and staff to gain exposure within a works environment and establish a consistent framework for internal training and performance development. Porsche will use a competition licence formerly held by McLaren, which withdrew from the championship. This revised format reduces external partnerships but provides greater internal control of race operations and powertrain management.</p><p>The decision aligns with Porsche’s ongoing commitment to Formula E’s Gen4 regulations. The company continues to view the championship as a platform for electric powertrain research and system validation connected to its road vehicle projects. Data and expertise developed in racing contribute to models such as the upcoming Porsche Cayenne EV. The formation of a dual-factory structure increases testing capacity and data acquisition across both teams.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/motorsport-news/mahindra-racing-tops-2026-formula-e-pre-season-test-in-valencia-122070/">Mahindra Racing Tops 2026 Formula E Pre-season Test in Valencia</a></p><p>As Formula E works toward a potential 24-car grid under the Gen4 ruleset, Porsche’s double-factory arrangement reinforces its stake in the next phase of electric motorsport.</p>

Porsche Motorsport to Add Second Team in Formula E

Porsche will run two factory teams from 2026-27, creating a four-car works effort in Formula E and using the new entry to develop talent for the Gen4.

    You may or may not believe in black magic, but once you’re behind the wheel of a Porsche Macan Turbo Electric, pushing it at breakneck speeds around the racetrack, you’re bound to become a believer. Despite weighing only a few kilograms less than the planet Jupiter, the way this thing grips, steers, and annihilates straights can turn your frontal lobe into jelly!</p>

<p>How fast is it, you ask? Well, it finished third overall in this test, but more impressively, it’s nearly two seconds quicker than both the Aston Martin DBX 707 and the BMW M5!</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/bharat-mobility-expo-2025-porsche-macan-ev-launched-at-rs-121-crore-in-india-119626/">Porsche Macan EV Launched in India</a></p>

<p>We’ve long believed the Macan to be a sports car on stilts, but with the latest generation going all-electric, expectations were understandably tempered. Yet, the Macan Turbo Electric turns out to be every bit as precise and surgical as any machine wearing the Porsche crest. Built on Porsche’s all-new Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture, it shares nothing with its ICE sibling. This variant features a dual-motor setup, rated at 630bhp and 1,130Nm, resulting in a 0-100km/h time of just 3.3 seconds.</p>

<p>The acceleration is brutal and precise. No tyre squeal, no drama – just grip and go. The real magic, though, lies in how it handles. The steering drips with feel, and the body control is taut. The electronics? Pure witchcraft. They don’t just keep you going in the right direction; they also help you stitch the apexes together like a pro.</p>

<p>Yet, despite all that athleticism, the Macan Turbo Electric is a genuinely comfortable luxury car. The ride is supple, the refinement levels are exceptional, and the cabin’s fit-and-finish is pure Porsche perfection.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/porsche-delays-ev-plans-confirms-ice-and-hybrids-well-into-the-2030s-121831/"> Porsche Delays EV Plans, Confirms ICE and Hybrids ‘Well Into the 2030s’</a></p>

<p>Is there anything missing? Well, it’s a bit too quiet for a Porsche. You can’t help but long for Porsche’s signature mechanical acoustics. And that, really, is the crux of Porsche’s EV dilemma – no matter how spectacular its electric cars become, they can never quite replace the combustion-powered icons that built the brand’s soul. Even Porsche’s balance sheet reflects this – the manufacturer recently posted a $1.1 billion quarterly loss, largely due to its ambitious electrification push. In the end, while there’s absolutely nothing wrong with the Macan Turbo Electric in itself, its only flaw might be that it doesn’t fully align with what Porsche has always stood for.

Porsche Macan Turbo Electric at autoX Awards: Best Cars of 2025 Ranked

The Porsche Macan Turbo Electric is as precise as any model with the brand’s badge. Its acceleration is brutal and clean — no tyre squeal or drama, just grip and go.

<p>The new 911 Turbo S (992.2) has finally arrived in India, priced from Rs 3.8 crore (ex-showroom). It was unveiled earlier this year at the Munich Motor Show in both coupe and cabriolet styles. However, only the coupe version has reached our shores. At its core, the new 911 Turbo S features a T-Hybrid system, combining a 3.6-litre flat-six engine with twin electric turbochargers and a compact 1.9kWh battery. This setup delivers an astonishing 701bhp of maximum power and 800Nm of torque, which is a 60bhp&nbsp;increase over the previous model, making the new 911 the most powerful version of Porsche’s iconic sports car so far.</p><h2><strong>2025 Porsche 911 Turbo S: Exterior and Interior</strong></h2><p>

<p>Porsche has reaffirmed its standing at the top of North American sports car racing by completing a triple crown in the 2025 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. At the season finale at Road Atlanta, the German manufacturer secured the Manufacturer, Team, and Driver Championships for the second year in succession. Although Porsche Penske Motorsport did not win the ten-hour race, a planned and consistent approach ensured the required results. Porsche Penske Motorsport finished the race at third and tenth with its two Porsche 963 prototypes, which was enough to seal the manufacturers’ title. These results also confirmed the team championship, marking a repeat of last year’s success. </p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/motorsport-news/f1-is-max-verstappens-championship-hunt-alive-after-singapore-grand-prix-121930/">F1: Is Max Verstappen’s Championship Hunt Alive After Singapore Grand Prix?</a></p><p>Porsche’s ability to maintain competitiveness across different circuits helped offset limited race victories and secure the overall titles through steady execution.</p><p>

Porsche Clinches Manufacturer, Team, and Driver Championships in IMSA 2025 Season

Porsche dominated the 2025 IMSA season, winning Manufacturer, Team, and Driver titles with Campbell and Jaminet leading the way in the Porsche 963.

<p>Porsche has announced it will withdraw from the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) Hypercar class after the 2025 season, marking the end of a chapter for endurance racing fans. The manufacturer’s factory team has long been a central part of the WEC, collecting 19 Le Mans victories and setting benchmarks in endurance racing. For followers of endurance motorsport, Porsche’s decision brings mixed feelings, respect for its achievements and disappointment at its departure from the grid. After years of consistent presence in top-level racing, the brand’s exit signals a major shift in priorities within the evolving motorsport landscape.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/motorsport-news/motogp-indonesian-gp-aldeguer-beats-acosta-to-win-mandalika-race-marquez-suffers-collarbone-injury-121886/">MotoGP Indonesian GP: Aldeguer Beats Acosta to Win Mandalika Race, Marquez Suffers Collarbone Injury</a></p><p>Porsche stated that its focus will now turn to the IMSA SportsCar Championship in North America and the all-electric Formula E series. The Porsche 963 will continue competing in IMSA’s GTP category, while the company strengthens its Formula E programme with the next-generation Porsche 99X Electric. The manufacturer said these platforms better support its product and technology direction, particularly as motorsport becomes more integrated with electrification and sustainability goals.</p><p>

With rising development costs and competitive pressure, the company is aligning investment towards racing formats that directly contribute to technology relevant for future cars. While the move ends its current WEC commitment, Porsche reiterated its intent to stay active in motorsport and continue developing performance and efficiency technologies through racing.</p><p>The withdrawal leaves uncertainty around Porsche’s future presence at Le Mans in 2026. Privateer entries such as Proton Competition may still run the Porsche 963, but without factory backing, participation will be more complex and expensive. The company confirmed it will continue to supply customer teams with parts and technical input, ensuring the 963 remains part of endurance racing even without a factory effort on the grid.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/motorsport-news/f1-russell-beats-verstappen-at-singapore-gp-race-mclaren-wins-2025-constructors-championship-121887/">F1: Russell Beats Verstappen at Singapore GP Race; McLaren Wins 2025 Constructors' Championship</a></p><p>For the WEC, losing Porsche changes the competitive picture. While several manufacturers will join the Hypercar field in 2026 and 2027, the absence of a brand with Porsche’s heritage will be noticeable. The move also underlines a broader trend in global motorsport, as major teams shift resources from combustion-based series towards electric and mixed-technology platforms that better reflect the direction of the car industry.</p>

Porsche Confirms Withdrawal from WEC Hypercar Class After 2025 Season

Porsche will leave the WEC Hypercar class after 2025 to focus on IMSA and Formula E, raising uncertainty over its participation at Le Mans 2026.

<p><strong>With the second- generation Panamera, Porsche has finally sorted out its weakest link – the design. We take the more focused GTS version for a spin on the marble-top roads of Bahrain, as well as on its fantastic F1 Circuit.</strong></p>

<p>Before I delve into the details of the new Panamera, I think a confession is in order. I’ve been a Porsche fanboy for as long as I can remember. Of course, part of this is due to the 911, and its lasting allure over the past five decades, but I suppose what always attracted me to the brand was its ground-breaking models, like the 959, 918 and, my personal favourite, the Carrera GT. Everything about that car is simply sublime – its raw appeal, its design, its engineering and, of course, the race-car-derived V10 engine. Talking of race cars, well… there’s no other sports car in the world like the invincible 917, which, along with many other such machines – and yes, I’m looking at you Stefan Roser, piloting the RUF Yellowbird around the Nordschleife in your white socks – that has had me smitten with the brand for god knows how many years now.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="2019 Porsche Panamera GTS Three Quarter Motion" src="/uploads/2018/12/Porsche-Back-Three-Quarter-Motion-small.jpg" /></p>

<p>But it’s true that no brand in the world is perfect – everyone has produced a lemon or two over the decades, and Porsche, despite its achievements, must be held accountable for the first generation Panamera. Sure, the car was a new concept and created its own market, not to mention that it was incredible to drive, but, by God, was it awful to look at. Many years ago, Dhruv and I, on our way to the office, were stuck behind a Panamera, and I distinctly remember telling him that he should either overtake the Panamera or park up and to let it go because I couldn’t bear the sight of it anymore. So, when I got the invitation to drive the latest Panamera, in its pretty hardcore GTS avatar, my reaction was – well, you don’t look a gift horse in the mouth…</p>

<p><strong>It’s beautiful, finally&nbsp;</strong><br />
Let me begin by saying that the biggest achievement of the new Panamera is its impressive design. In the standard trim, the rear-end is a massive improvement over the previous car. Also, in general, the new car has a much more refined design. However, it’s the Sport Turismo version of the Panamera that really catches your eye. With its wagon shape and a very sleek, flowing design, the Sport Turismo has an appearance that would make me very happy indeed to drive this car every day. And, the added functionality of a bigger boot is another draw from a practical front too. In GTS trim, the Panamera gets additional visual features, such as the black chrome all around the car, 20-inch alloy wheels as standard finished in – you guessed it – black, and a lowered suspension. And the GTS also comes in some unique colours, such as the Mamba green that you see here.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="Porsche Panamera GTS Speedometer" src="/uploads/2018/12/Porsche-speedometer-small.jpg" /></p>

<p>A similar theme adorns the interior of the GTS, featuring alcantara in both its roof lining and steering wheel, while the interior trim features brushed black aluminium, which looks great. The seats have GTS stitched on them – some versions of the car have red contrast stitching, which looks fantastic. The interior is spacious and airy, but, mind you, with its big transmission tunnel, it remains a four-seater, albeit a very stylish and luxurious one.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A large screen that mimics the analogue gauges of Porsches of yore, with the tachometer bang in the centre, dominates the view from behind the steering wheel. There’s another large screen that controls the navigation, audio system and the other functions. Interestingly, the controls mounted around the gear lever have the appearance of switches, but in reality, it’s a haptic touchscreen that works quite well – although it does take some time to get used to it.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Light on its feet, of course</strong><br />
Coming to the performance, the Panamera GTS is powered by a 4-litre, twin-turbo V8 engine, which in this trim offers 453bhp and 620Nm of peak torque. Transferring all that power to the road is a standard fit all-wheel drive system paired to an eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Given the positioning of the GTS, it’s essentially faster and more track and driver focused than the regular model, but, at the same time, not as extreme as, say, the Turbo. The standard-fit air suspension has also been tweaked for firmer damping, and the car has been lowered by 10mm.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As a result of all this, the steering response on the Panamera is instantaneous. The car feels quite light on its feet, and the engine revs quite freely. The exhaust – a sport exhaust is a standard fit on the GTS – sounds quite nice too, but, given its positioning, I expected the exhaust to be slightly more vocal, at least in sport mode. On the billiard-table smooth roads of Bahrain, the Panamera GTS was brilliant to drive, with instant throttle response, virtually no turbo lag – a result of the turbos being positioned inside the V of the V8 engine for maximum efficiency and quick response – excellent shifts of the dual-clutch gearbox and plenty of steering feel. However, when we encountered some bumps, I couldn’t help but think that on our shattered Indian roads the stiff suspension could be an issue.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On the Bahrain F1 Circuit, the Panamera’s performance really surprised us. For example, despite its over five-metre length and an almost three-metre long wheelbase, the Panamera is remarkably agile, even around corners. Sure, you can feel the size of the car and its two-ton weight limiting the extent to which you can push it, but, despite that, the Panamera was easy to drive and remarkably forgiving. The all-wheel drive system helps immensely in providing traction, and the gearbox shifts brilliantly. With the car in Sport mode, the steering mounted rotary controller allows you to shuffle between modes, and works very well. Accordingly, it was easy to push the car to its limit, and deal with the rather bumpy sections of the track.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Never runs out of breath&nbsp;</strong><br />
There is one other thing about the Panamera that really impressed me. Despite its weight and size, the Panamera performed on the track all day long without any hesitation – neither the engine nor the gearbox heated up or complained at all. All we had to do was to watch the tyres and the fuel levels, and the Panamera continued pounding around the circuit without a hitch. And here I should also complement the huge brakes on the GTS – 390mm at the front and 365mm at the back – which functioned flawlessly all day long. In fact, so capable is the chassis of the Panamera that it feels like the car can easily handle another 200 or 250bhp without any trouble.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In short, the Panamera GTS is a very able and effective machine. And, fortunately, Porsche has finally sorted out its design with this second generation – I would even go as far as to say that the Sport Turismo is one of the coolest cars on sale right now. With its fantastic build quality, sorted dynamics, a great set of seats and ability to fulfil multiple roles, the Panamera GTS is a very tempting choice for anyone looking for a machine that can be used both for long road trips, as well as quick laps on any racetrack in the world. The only bummer – at least for people like me – is the price, which will be just under `2 crores when it hits the Indian market early next year. However, for its target audience, the GTS is a unique two-in-one machine suitable for various roles. As for me, well, when is the next big lottery due again? &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<hr />
<p><img alt="2019 Porsche Panamera GTS Alloy Wheel Small" src="/uploads/2018/12/Porsche-Alloy-Wheel-small.jpg" /></p>

<p>The Panamera, in GTS guise, features a bunch of visual clues to differentiate it from other versions. Most apparent of those is the blacked-out chrome trim, the 20-inch black wheels and the badging, which is also, you guessed it, in black.</p>

Porsche Panamera GTS Review: First Drive

The Porsche 911 offers exhilarating performance and loads of fun behind the wheel. But the hot-shod Porsche is a three-door sports car, and what if you need a five-door practical car with mind-numbing performance, albeit a little lesser than the 911? Then, the Panamera GTS comes into the picture.
