Power is a fickle thing for those of us who require it in our daily lives; it seems that no matter how much faster we go, we always want a little more. We here at Performance Porsche certainly can't blame you since we all feel the same. That's why we've been keeping our eyes on the LA Auto Show for vehicles that catch our eye with style and catch our breath with speed. Well, we've found on that we though all of our loyal readers would like to hear about.
The current Porsche Panamera Turbo pumps out "only" 520 horsepower and can blast up to "only" 189 miles per hour. Yawn. What about something a bit more? Something a little faster? That would be nice.
Then we saw it. The 2014 Porsche Panamera Turbo S shining a brilliant silver, illuminated under the show lights like a blazing-fast angel here to deliver us from slow-dom. It's gorgeous, smooth, curved and creased in all the right places just like you'd expect. But it's what's under the hood that will make you take a step back.
Roaring like a price of lions, the 4.8-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine explodes with the power of 570 stampeding horses with acceleration that will leave you buried in the seat. The 0-60 is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it 3.6 seconds and the top speed has been increased to 192 mph.
Pricing will set you back $180,300, so get those wallets out! If you'd rather get something a little less ridiculous, then come on down to our Chapel Hill, NC dealership and check out all the fast and furious new Porsche models we have in the lineup. One test drive is all it will take to convince you there's nothing better than a Porsche.
