The base Panamera is priced at $104,795, which is a lot of money for an entry level luxury sedan

The Panamera is powered by a potent 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6, pushing out a healthy 348 hp and 368 lb-ft of torque

All Panamera models feature an 8-speed PDK automatic gearbox, which, in case of the base Panamera, drives the rear wheels only

The base Panamera is expected to clock 60 mph in 5 seconds and can reach speeds up to 169 mph

The front end of the base Panamera is enhanced by the standard Matrix LED headlights. Although, the 19-inch wheels look cheap

Looking at the rear, the Panamera features an LED lightbar and dual exhaust tips as standard

On the inside, the Panamera doesn't feel like it's a base model. It sports large displays on the dashboard and a heated steering wheel for all-weather comfort

ES Motor recently demonstrated just how little it takes to enhance the 992 Turbo's performance to hypercar levels

Even the lowesr, ES700 package is good for insane improvements over the stock 911 Turbo S

More than you pay for: ES700 gets you 720 hp to the wheels, translating to 847 to the crankshaft

ES Motor's exhaust and a custom map are all that's needed to give the 911 Turbo over 200 extra horsepower

The 0 to 60 mph is near-identical to the stock 992 Turbo S, but the 0-214 mph happens more 1.5 seconds quicker

ES Motor specialists recommend you change the Goodyear Eagle F1 tires for a more aggressive tire, for optimal results

The range-topping ES900 package gives you hypercar-shaming capabilities

The kit adds new intercoolers, hybrid turbos, headers, new air filters, and more

Hypercar power achieved, but ES Motor does additional refinements to ensure reliability

The final tune makes less power, but torque is flatter across the rev range

The ES900 does 0-124 mph in 3.8-4.1 seconds - quicker than Bugatti Chiron and Koenigsegg Jesko, at 5.5 and 4.6 seconds, respecetively

At around $40,000, this is the cheapest way to make the 992 Turbo a hypercar slayer

Porsche Spices things up for the Panamera S, 4S, and Turbo (S) E Hybrid models with a revolutionary suspension

Despite losing the more practical body style for 2024, some innovative features seem to suggest that the Panamera is here to stay

Also, compared to the Porsche's other four-door sedan, the all-electric Taycan, the Panamera is a slow-seller

However, potent new hybrid powertrains, Porsche's Active Suspension, and the rise in popularity of hybrid vehicles may change that

The new suspension features active dampers that can react 13 times per second to maximize stability and comfort

They, not only filter out road imperfections but also act as anti-roll bars

Upon braking and accelerating, the new suspension can also adjust camber for maximized traction

This raises the car's height in milli-seconds, making getting in and out easier

The system also acconts for numerous aspects like the load on each wheel, differential lock, and more
