Even in 2022, this car was built ahead of it time, in regards to performance. It’s insane what that PDK and tune does to a car almost 10 years old

I dont know what it is about these things but theyre always ugly in pictures and WAY nicer in person.

Paul Zografos Agreed. Don't know why they look so bad in pictures/videos. Almost every new Lexus suffers from the same thing as well, ugly on the net but beautiful in person.

They were hideous when they came out and lately I fell in love with the car lines. They still look bad in pictures though, lol.

This video pretty much delivered all of my favorite aspects of a youtube video. Saw some awesome scenery, gave me some great information, and showed me the performance of badass product :standing applause. Well done, Matt. You rock buddy and I am incredibly jealous of your foxbody. Please give me a ride through Mulholland

Some really good writing here Matt. Great style all those years ago. Timeless.

That car is rediculously unphotogenic. It actually looks good irl though

This is a show produced in America, with an American host, an American crew, and an audience that (according to KZread) is nearly 90% based in North America. We only have access to US spec cars in the press fleets, therefore many cars that you're used to seeing I have never once even seen in person. You're choosing to watch an American show vs. a European show, so it's actually self centered of you to expect I would cater to your market, instead of you, the viewer, adapting to the cars we test.

Chinese food tastes good but Spanish food is better.

This has to be the best filmed and executed car review i've ever seen. Not only is it goddamn picture perfect, the scenes and cuts in this one is ridiculously good looking. But, also Matt being so emotional about this car makes the review amazing. I am far from having the kind of cash to get one of these beauties, but Matt almost had me taking a loan for it! haha. Thanks for yet another great clip.

This is probably the best review I've seen Matt do, well filmed too.

Huge fan of TST. Now im looking at used panameras and thesd units are under 30k 😂

Was this one of your favorite drives ever? I absolutely love this review. It just works. Awesome job!

Great to have another smoking tire video! your tuned episodes are great, but there's a sense of flair and grandness only these videos have.

Oh . Only $190 grand!? I'll just got get my purse.

I've actually been to El Mirage just because of this video. I was doing a road trip in California when I saw a small sign for El Mirage and remembered it. We did 120 with a rented FX 37. Thank you Matt Farah.

Matt, your reviews are perfect!! continue to entertain us, please?

This is my favorite video by FAR! Good work guys!

I have watched all of your vids and this is one of the best, keep up the great work

Just bought one. Thanks for the nudge, Matt. :)

Nik Brudar I've had the 911 for 8 years. I absolutely LOVE it. It's an amazing car, it performs incredibly, and it's so reliable too. But I just needed a change. I'm almost 50, I have back injuries, and the Panamera gives me the best of both worlds: performance and comfort. But the jury is still out. I've only owned the Panny for two days now. I might end up going back to a 911. We shall see.

frakkintoaster I just bought a 2015 Panamera 4S and I'm coming from a 2011 Panamera 4 lol (put 40k miles on her from new!) The upgrade in 120 HP is crazy to me, but the fuel economy is crappier :( I have a 2014 E 63 AMG S as my "super" car so I just slightly upgraded the Panamera and I love it. How do you like your Panamera after a month?

Excellent video- thanks! Intelligent, unbiased reporting.

Really well done video. Actually have a reason to road trip to Yellowstone now!

Good shit Matt! Been waiting forever to see a real review of this monster, thank you!

These reviews get more and more professional as you go, good stuff.

Very detailed review. Thanks.

You do an excellent job of thoroughly and honestly reviewing these automobiles. I just wanted to thank you for your contribution to the motorhead community!

Ive just stumbled on this channel. This guy seems like a cool dude. Nice videos.

Nice to see you guys are back!

Love your reviews... Thx!

Great shots! Great review!

I loved this video. I feel like I was taken on an automotive adventure, keep it up!

Beautiful car... Awesome review and video. This is what KZread was made for.

Very well produced video. With the Farrah narration, the subtle music in the background and the videography, just a brilliant video about the Panamera. I want to like the Panamera sooooo much. It's just the most awkward looking car ever. The interior and motor are amazing though. Cheers.

Dude - you do a good job - no BS...Just good review, good drive - Keep it up man!!

I always find your reviews to be very helpful and informative. Will you guys do a subaru brz or scion frs review in the future? thanks!!

Amazing review. Keep up the great work.

Great video, well worth the wait!

This is one of my favorite videos I have seen. I think it is shot perfectly. I wish I knew how to make a video like this.

Great review Matt...keep it up!

Haha! "parkmode". Excellent review as usual. Can't wait to see more from the Smoking Tire crew.

I'm a Brit, I just LOVE this guys style - great entertainment. Top work.

Sir, what advantages does this automobile have over say, a locomotive, which I could also afford?

Love your reviews Matt.

Good review Mr. Farrah! I love your job

I looove this. A creative automotive channel. Put some storyline, visiting a fire like waterfall, laymen language. Ignore guideline, ignore rules, follow your heart Matt, this is a good show!

Matt - your reviews are fuggin awesome.

Word dude! Your encouragement gets me stoked about it!

You are a smart, decent person. You will go far in life.

Awesome, great review.

Matt, I think its great you still respond to user comments on here. You're the man.

Nice review!

im so glad you made another vid matt. i love porsches, even the more questionaly looking

Matt - you are the best american car reviewer. Love your reviews and wish you would do more.

I LOVE IT!!! awesome ride!!

My father just bought one three days ago in 'Amethyst Metallic'.. fully loaded and all. One of the best cars I have ever driven.

Keep up the good work !!!

Nice one Matt!!

get cars wherever you can get them. I didn't get my first press car until almost a year into making videos. That's part of the hustle of this job.

Very good work, happy to see a new TST video (i was a bit disapointed by the BMW vids)

nice review matt

5:20 - This is what stiff bushings give you. Most cars have super squishy rubber bits throughout and really disconnect everything from the driver. It is crazy how direct, and connected the car can be to the driver and the driver to the road when these parts are much firmer or of solid/bearing type.

05:50 hey Matt,your "pffffffbbttthhh" sounds better than the exhaust note itself,LOL

Seen this car in person..it's huggeeee but damn it's lovely. Great video, Matt!

its a beautiful car actually....this is the only car that matches the M6 Gran Coupe

very good informative video, pity you didn't get the waterfall shot. It looked like you drove past some nice trout streams on the way..would have been tempted to stop and cast a fly!

I live in Fresno and I can attest to absolutly no fun here. I love you show Matt keep it up buddy

Its quite remarkable actually that this is the second fastest luxury car on the market today after the M5 F10. It weighs almost 2150kg's, can accommodate 4 passengers in highest possible luxury, and can carry loads of luggage, even your fridge or a bedroom closet if needed. It can cruise at extremely high speeds with highest level of comfort, refinement and safety, yet, it will do 0-100km/h in just over 3 seconds, and hit 300 km/h in 40 seconds (24 seconds before CTS-V for example).

that outtake at the end was priceless

Sorry, after the gazillion mentions in TST and Tuned I couldn't help but troll ;-) I really like the video's, thanks and keep up the good work!

Thanks! Will you guys be getting the 5D Mk III for video? Heard it looks great.

Well done!

excellent car, excellent topic, and an excellent video ..i can not complain my friend, not at all...

180mph Wow!! I'm sticking with the brand PORSCHE!! My 08 Cayenne Turbo is FUN in Sport Mode.

nice review

great show guys!

you do one of the best car videos i´ve seen do more :D

I like the land surfer in the background near the end

We filmed the Scion FR-S last week for my segment on G4's "Attack of the Show." It will air in a couple weeks and we will post the video the next day on our web site. Lots of drifting!

Its about damn time u guys made a review! Shit its been months. Keep em coming

Tks TheSmokingTire... I see this video 5000x!!!

Fast Forward the video to 7:31 to 7:34 and look what goes through the sky, No one has seen it, no has noticed it yet.

o man, i hadnt even seen that before... just looked it up though, and wow ur right that one is nice!

great review, first time i saw review like this. like the real driving 200miles+ and see how's the car going do you really own the car?

I like your review.

And just to mention, it will go around Nurburgring in 7:52. (although its not relevant since we're talking about a road car). It might not be the prettiest car on the market, but it sure as hell is one of most impressive cars ever made in terms of engineering and technology.

if pure fast is what you're going for, then I'd have to agree with you, however a CTS-V will never get off the line like this thing can without full-on slicks. The real difference is in everything else. From the room, to the build quality, the materials, and the fact that you can custom order practically every part of the car, not to mention ceramic brakes and AWD, the Porsche is hands down the better car, although you pay for it.

TST just keeps getting better and better.

People say it's ugly but I like it, hell everytime I see one. Turbo or not it breaks my neck.

People keep saying this car is ugly but I think it's great looking.

Oh, is the ZR1 coming with turbos now? And I wasn't aware they had made that change, but since they have, your comment makes total sense. Comparing a modified ZR1 to a stock Panamera Turbo S makes perfect sense.

It's been so long! Finally!!!

Literally the perfect everyday car.

Still one of the greatest cars I’m collecting mine for when the prices go back up 💪

such a dope vid

Some sound advice! My friend at MIT had a 2004 330i ZHP with a 6-speed, I have a 2002 audi A4 quattro (also 6-speed). Can't really get access to nice new cars like you but hey maybe I'll review my own car! :D Freaking cool to talk to you, best of luck with the shows!

Cool piano music at the end

We make three videos a month for Drive, and when season 2 of Tuned starts on July 1st, we will have a dozen films in as many weeks. We're busy making videos, it's a full time job. Just not all of them are posted here. Make sure to follow us on Facebook so you don't miss out.

There are plenty of larger, affordable performance cars for tall guys. The Corvette, Mustang, CTS-V, SRT-8 range, etc, all are great for tall drivers. And for the record, I used nearly every feature in the Panamera over the course of my week with the car.
