Onboard The Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid At The Nurburgring
Ride around the Nürburgring Nordschleife in the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid with Lars Kern as he sets a new best-time of 7:24.17 for luxury cars with hybrid combustion powertrains.
“On the Nordschleife, the transverse dynamic capabilities of a car are particularly important,” Kern commented. “The new Panamera has made significant gains in this area. In technically demanding corner sequences in particular, such as between the ‘Hohe Acht’ and ‘Brünnchen’ sections of the track section, it responds with noticeably greater agility.”
The new Panamera’s lap time is over five seconds quicker than the outgoing car. "The new Porsche Active Ride chassis has made a particularly big contribution. The car stays parallel to the road at all times. Its cornering and body stability are on a whole new level," Kern added.
"As a driver, this gives me a good feeling and further underlines that our development doesn’t just offer maximum day-to-day driving comfort, but also makes a real difference on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. No other Porsche offers such a wide spectrum between comfort and sportiness. The new Panamera combines the positive properties of an exclusive touring saloon with the handling of a sports car.”
