Hey guys and welcome back to RBR, and to the 3rd Generation, or G3 #Panamera! The first #Panamera or G1 was, much like the Original #Cayenne, an ugly duckling. G2 blessed us with a truly good looking #Porsche sedan, and even a wagon - And new Generation 3 is the most aggressive looking yet! With a sharpness we’ve never seen both in the top dog E #Hybrid Version and especially in the standard Body - this is a good looking sedan!
Despite that, on the face of it you’d be forgiven for assuming it’s a just heavy facelift, to give the Panamera a last hurrah before Taycan seemingly takes over... But you’d be making a big mistake - the new Panamera is pulling ZERO punches! It’s arrived with a solution to the biggest problem we all have heavy hybrids, managing their weight! - all thanks to the biggest suspension advancement seen in years.
That, along with a HUGELY improved hybrid set up, it’s looking to set the bar for all other combustion and hybrid sports sedans. Today we get to drive the Top Dog Turbo E Hybrid V8 and the base level V6 Panamera. We will also check out the interior, which has seen massive change changes too, and I’ll of course fill you in on every element they have changed and upgraded under the skin!
So let’s check out the Brand new G3 Panamera!
Lucky for us, Porsche still believes in the combustion car, with them renewing and revamping their V8 and V6 engines to be future proof for many years to come. The V8 is back in the Turbo, but heavily updated! This gives up 519PS by itself and pairs with an updated new electric engine which sits inside our PDK - The old unit in G2 Panamera only gave 136PS, this new one gives 190PS by itself!
So that’s a system total of:
680PS
930NM
0-60 of 3.0 (sports chrono)
More imporantly, the battery is now higher capacity but has kept its sized reduce with a 25kw sized unit hidden in the back. This has boosted the range figure by a MASSIVE amount. From a nigh useless 40 or so KM, to much more useful 90km in real world use! Finally giving you good a reason to take the weight penalty.
Weight is 2360kg, so still a heavy old thing. Let’s see if their new suspension system can do something about that.
The V6 cars are also improved over their last generations by about 10% in every area, thanks to upgrades to the engine - both give 353PS and now have a sports exhaust option.
Also just announced are two more hybrids - 4 E Hybrid and 4S E Hybrid - both are detailed in the video.
Today the big topic is Suspension! We will cover the Standard new Two valve air suspension with PASM, with two valve dampers.
AND Porsche’s New Active Ride Suspension - E Hybrid Model ONLY option. It is an unprecedented Upgrade over every other competitive suspension system with an even further breadth of ability between Luxury and Sportiness, encroaching on Top luxury cars, and the sports car. The stars of the show are the Active shock absorbers, which are connected its own hydraulic pump. These shock absorbers have 2 valve tech, and thanks to the volume flow generated by the pump, this allows for lightning quick reactions to rebound and compression at each wheel - What the heck does that mean? What the video, and you’ll be shocked!
It even helps for luxury, we have the super cool easy entry lift system that leads to a massive interior update - in line with new cayenne and #taycan.
Finally we will of course drive the car on track here in Seville, for our first glimpse at how this car is changing the game!

Portland, JAMAICA in the Building!!! 👑🇯🇲🔥💥🌟⭐💯💎
Been on this channel for a long while now. It doesn't make sense to me why it hasn't got 5M subscribers. Info is honest and on point. Editing is top notch and he always has the best cars to show us. Love the content. Promotion, promotion promotion.
I agree. Lot's of informative graphics too. It really helps to have a visual representation of the changes he talks about.
The general public prefers either the more scientific engineering explained or more entertaining top gear channels
One factor for this is because he only does reviews for new premium cars, which the common man cannot afford and the target audience becomes smaller
Look at Mat Watson, Doug Demuro etc..They review normal cars as well even the cheapest, also charisma helps
Appreciate the kind words! We try 😃
That Dragon Ball entrance 🤌
I love your videos!
Especially the way you can super-impose the various models and model years on an existing vehicle.
Its become your trademark - I note you're doing it for the interiors too, now.
Thank you so much.
The video editing while covering the interior 👌
I've always said, if you only have space for 1 car that is a sedan/has room/is sporty, go for the Panamera. If you can afford two, just get a real 2-door sports car/weekend car and whatever utility/daily without all the compromise.
My great grandpappi used to say the same thing
or buy a 2 door sports car and a normal car and extra real estate to park for the same price.
Defender for off roading. Panamera for family trips. Tesla model 3 Performance because why not
Another great review, I'm so glad Porsche saved the V8 Panamera 👍
👍
Great Overview - no one does it better...Love how ou show previous Gens to see how it has developed / blossomed!! Loving that Dark Gold colour...... Turbo E-Hybrid it is for Me!
The Best Porsche Panamera review ever!!!!
To all automotive journalist out there, watch and learn!!!!!
Design, Technology, deep dive, comparison and some ride & handling! Keep up your great work and don't compromise, this is the standard!!!
I will add on to the list of compliments, the interior VFX are fantastic. It's one thing when a reviewer mentions the changes but we can't always remember or be bothered to look for the photos on google from the previous gen cars, so showing those old interiors is brilliant.
It's not just you, Raz.
The Sport pack looks less aggressive than the "standard" turbo.
And again, a great review as always!
I had a Panamera 4 hybrid as a loaner from Porsche Reading the other day......what a car , i was well impressed!
I will say that the looks -- for me personally -- on G3 are a little polarizing. I say that now but hopefully the looks start to grow on me if I ever do see it in person. G2 honestly still has my heart in terms of overall looks and dimensions. The rear end just looks so proportioned and more handsome than the new model but, maybe I need to give it a chance.
I didn't know a car video that is so informative could be so much fun to drive...I mean...watch!!
Video production on another level. Appreciate the full dedication and reviews, cheers!
Hopefully Porsche will make a Turbo S (and Turbo S E-Hybrid) version. That V8 is capable of more power for sure.
Competitor for the next V8 hybrid BMW M5. No non-hybrid V8, 200kg more than a Taycan, no Sport Turismo, and you can’t get Active Ride on non-hybrid V6. With the extra range of the new Taycan, the argument is swinging more to the Taycan. Depreciation whilst slighter better on the Panamera, will still be pretty hefty.
Except the Taycan is electric and no one wants that
@@withmatt1062plenty of petrol and diesel options on the market, there really is something for everyone!
@@withmatt1062 Have you driven one? It drives phonomenally good for it's size. Heck, it is the best handling Porsche outside their sports cars. The Taycan is really the complete package if it wasn't for the lack of range, which supposedly has been improved on the facelift.
Thanks for the review. One thing we consider when driving is managing the weight transfer and where the grip is. For example, trail braking can help point the nose of the car into a corner and provide more grip to the front wheels. Does the active ride make any changes to that?
The exhausts sounds nice and muscular, Porache have done a great job on this EU model.
Bro, the editing...👌💥🤟
5:50 That low front view looks like a stretched out R35 GT-R, especially in this color
Boxy JDM vibes
The video editing/imagery is simply on another level.
I have G1 Panamera and I don’t care what anyone says, it looks amazing and certainly stands out more than the second generation.
Best car review channel on YT. The editing is remarkable.
that launch was absolutely hysterical for the car’s size. i love it
Great video, as always 👍🏼
Love how that rear spoiler deploys in a split way so cool
Absolutely 💯
My Sincerest,
Admiration and Respect for all your hard work Brother. The quality of information you convey is second to none. Thank you🙏🏽
That Green with the gold rims beautiful
As a Gen2 owner I'm not quiet convinced. Certainly not enough to run to my dealer and be screwed by the options list. My Gen 2 with the sports design pack looks so much better than the standard Gen 2 but on the Gen 3 the standard looks better than the sport design pack.
The interior on the Gen 2 is a gentleman's club. Gen 3 is Taycan parts bin and the dash mounted lady shave gear changer is the thing i absolutely loath on my 992GTS. The usable range on my ehybrid has always been a joke. When i first had a demo i was shocked at how low the winter range was. With the increase in electric prices its now cheaper to run my car in petrol mode. I only ever charge the car at work as its free.
Maybe it will grow on me who knows.
I love this intro!🔥🔥🔥
Man , u r amazing with you videos, as a car fan , your channel is the best when it comes to video editing and producing, even the info delivery, thanks
Unbelievable car!!!! Porsche nails it again!
You probably don’t have one. If you had you would think you are driving in a Skoda or cheap Toyota courtesy of an unacceptable cheapo plastic interior…….A real shambles….
That body colour reminds me of when the 350 Z came out and burnt orange
That suspension is a game changer. 😮
the first generation look classic Porsche to me not ugly.
This one looks like a Kia Stinger
With the new Active ride suspension , definitely they can bring it to India easily. First time that i have seen Porsche taking such concentration on just the suspension and chassis. Superb road grip and unbelievable refinement.
10 out of 10 on the production and presentation of this video 👏
Great information! This is my dream car for sure.
Such a good review :) nice keep it that way
1st time here, and i must say, you certainly bring some "unique" to the party! Already set my notifications! Now how about a "watch check" ??? The two worlds seem to go hand in hand...
A brilliant review of a reborn Panamera. Thanks for all of your hard work and for sharing…. 👍
You are one if not the best car review channel ❤ i love how you do it bro its very refreshing to look 🍻
I have been waiting on this forever 🤣 thanks for the review man
Brilliant video!🔥
Amazing video. Probably going to watch it a few times
I think I prefer the looks of the 2nd gen tbh. 3rd is still cool though.
I had 3 Panamera’s and 2 Taycan’s. I think I am going back to Panamera.
Nice, Richie Rich 😅
Postao mi je najbolji kanal.bravo
What an excellent review! Love this new Panamera. Dream car!
The transformation from Gen1 to Gen3 is amazing.This is the only version that I like out of them all .
Fantastic, now I can finally afford the G2
I like every panamera throughout the years that porsche has build but this new design is home run great job porsche
It would be nice for you to also talk about repair costs when the suspension fails and other historical trouble spots for the panamera.
Agreed - the standard trim looks far better!
That into song the beat is 🔥🔥🔥
As always….an informative review, wish you had included the standard base V6 test drive as well!
Finally it has a sharp and pronounced lines which gives the car a character a predecesor was lacking. Now I would probably prefer this Turbo version over RS7. Yet I would have to see them both because there is a slight impression this front is not entirely compatible with the side line. Gotta see that real time.
Honesly my favorite feature are the center lock wheels and the new design
Porsche build quality is peerless.
thanks for the review Raz, got a question about the suspension. I didn't quiet understand if the optional suspension only benefits driving dynamics and body control, or if its also more comfortable than the standard air suspension. Im thinking about a 4s hybrid and im more interested in the comfort aspect, dealing with bumps and shocks from the street, would i be better off with the standard suspension?
Another great review & an absolutely exceptional car.
Looks a great car
Thank you
😎😎😎👍👍👍
base rwd with simple tune and around 450bhp (500kg lighter than turbo!) is the sweet spot for me
Another great review)))
great review
I could never make up my mind between the panamera and the amg gt 63 . but after this video....i finally know. THE PORSCHE !!
Absolutely love the depth of this review, especially the side-by-side comparisons with previous models! However, the debate around the Panamera's positioning got me thinking 🤔. While the Panamera undeniably offers a unique blend of luxury, sportiness, and practicality, do you think it truly fills the niche for those wanting a 'do-it-all' vehicle? Or is it trying too hard to be a jack-of-all-trades, compromising on the essence of what makes a Porsche, a Porsche? On one hand, it's a technological marvel, blending performance with daily usability. On the other, could Porsche push the envelope further by enhancing its sportiness without diluting its practical appeal? What's your take - is the Panamera the ultimate daily driver for the discerning enthusiast, or should Porsche explore more dedicated segments within its lineup?
Excellent review. I never got why the Top Gear guys in particular were so down on this excellent Grand Tourer.
you are simply the best
Dragon ball intro, instant transmission
Rip toriyama 🙏🏽
I’m an owner of first generation Porsche Panamera that actually looks like a Porsche, with the elevated fenders and lower hood, this new Panamera doesn’t look like a Porsche anymore, it looks like a station wagon,,, wouldn’t trade mine for the new…. 😂
Amazing graphics
for a v6 sound from porsche with this sounds pretty decent exhaust.
Powerwise it would be interesting to see the comparison with the new AMG E 53 ePerformance.
Stunning
Agree regarding the sports pack not looking nearly as good. Glad you put same colours side by side. I think that copper (?) colour is great.
A panamera turbo s without the hybrid would be awesome, it would be a lot lighter which would help if the go for a nürnburgring lap time
I wish they made 2 passenger cars for big people. I’m 6’4, 315 muscle 💪🏾. I tried to buy a corvette c8 but I couldn’t fit haha. Hopefully they have some very cool color choices when they put out more Panamera turbos.
can we customized the turbo e hybrid version?
Great Review Raz as always 👍
I’m right in saying there isn’t going to be a Sports Turismo version??
funny how i like the first gen looks a lot. And the other ones too of course.
The new model is beautiful in all the right places.
My dream car now 😊
not screwing up good designs but making small changes is the safest and imo best way to go. Don't need to reinvent the wheel.. cough bmw
2nd generation was the best looking
NICE CAR
Did we see the boot space? Skipped a bit.
That just might be the perfect car
It’s literally a jack of all trades and a master of all.
I would love the non sport package with the piece behind the number plate black and the rear diffuser body colored!
I just got the g2 4s. Its great. Will wait for g3 to depreciate and trade it in.
It’s funny, no one bats an eyelid when Mercedes, Bentley or Rolls Royce price their luxury vehicles at around €350k/$350k up to and over €500k/$500 but when Porsche price their flagship vehicle at €250k\$250k some have called it ‘overpriced’. Also mentioning the cost for the active ride option being expensive. Porsche has always been performance first then luxury, so for this car to offer the best combination of both, €250k/$250k inc. all options is a relative bargain when compared to those other manufacturer’s flagship models. Paying for the pinnacle of engineering excellence that delivers outstanding performance, high end technology along with premium luxury all in one package is well worth it, in my opinion, and is practically unmatched by any other all-in-one sedan solution. Hats off to Porsche, again. Bravo 👏
From not liking the first gen to liking it much more than any other gen
Best all in one car! The new one is crazy only thing on this gen is the rim choice.. ps: when you do a pull yoy want your nose to lift😂
my dream car 😫 a porsche panamera gen 3
I have a gen 1 GTS and get nothing but positive comments about it's looks - I think you are jumping on the old bandwagon on the looks. I presume you hate the 996 too - looking better and better with age!
Totally agree! He doesn't know anything about the Gen 1. Why it was "famous" on that time. I think the Gen 1 looks great today as well.
I actually think the old Panamera is aging quite well, especially with that V8
Great job Porsche! Love the new panamera but hate the price point. But, oh well
I’m trying to decide between the Cayenne SUV or the Panamera. What would you suggest?
I think the wagon would have looked really good with this design and performance
True. I think it was a mistake to kill the wagon. I’d have bought one in this new generation.
