MEET ME AT THE AUTOBAHN: NEW 2025 PORSCHE PANAMERA GTS DRIVING REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Porsche Panamera GTS is reviewed as a potent Autobahn machine, excelling in high-speed stability and driver engagement. The 4.0L V8 twin-turbo engine delivers a thrilling 500 horsepower, providing relentless acceleration that feels even quicker than its 3.8-second 0-60 mph claim. The reviewer praises the precise steering, connected-to-the-road feel, and the adaptive air suspension's ability to remain comfortable even with the sportier GTS tuning and large wheels. The interior features a race-tex steering wheel and seats, offering a sporty ambiance, though the reviewer notes the potential for scratches on high-gloss black surfaces and a less premium feel in some areas. While rear seat space is adequate, it's not the primary focus. The trunk offers usable space, but the folding mechanism is noted as slightly complicated. A key takeaway is that the optional €8,000 Porsche Active Ride suspension is deemed unnecessary, with the standard adaptive air suspension providing a superior, more natural driving experience. The reviewer concludes that the Panamera GTS is a serious driving machine and a favorite Porsche, particularly for its Autobahn capabilities.
