Porsche Panamera Turbo S - The Smoking Tire
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 มิ.ย. 2012
- The 2012 Porsche Panamera Turbo S has two turbos, 550HP, and AWD. It has launch control. It reaches 60MPH in 3.3 seconds and can go 190MPH. It also costs $190,000.
To find out if it's worth it, Matt Farah drives it to Yosemite National Park, accidentally finding roads better than most race tracks. Then he drives to the El Mirage dry lake bed, to find out just how fast it will go.

Even in 2022, this car was built ahead of it time, in regards to performance. It’s insane what that PDK and tune does to a car almost 10 years old
I dont know what it is about these things but theyre always ugly in pictures and WAY nicer in person.
Paul Zografos Agreed. Don't know why they look so bad in pictures/videos. Almost every new Lexus suffers from the same thing as well, ugly on the net but beautiful in person.
Paul Zografos because they all use a stupid Fish eye lense, its soo stupid
NikoBell12 its the fish eye lenses that make them ugly
I think it looks ugly both ways. IMO
They were hideous when they came out and lately I fell in love with the car lines. They still look bad in pictures though, lol.
This is a show produced in America, with an American host, an American crew, and an audience that (according to TH-cam) is nearly 90% based in North America. We only have access to US spec cars in the press fleets, therefore many cars that you're used to seeing I have never once even seen in person. You're choosing to watch an American show vs. a European show, so it's actually self centered of you to expect I would cater to your market, instead of you, the viewer, adapting to the cars we test.
America is not a country
Chinese food tastes good but Spanish food is better.
That car is rediculously unphotogenic. It actually looks good irl though
This video pretty much delivered all of my favorite aspects of a youtube video. Saw some awesome scenery, gave me some great information, and showed me the performance of badass product :standing applause. Well done, Matt. You rock buddy and I am incredibly jealous of your foxbody. Please give me a ride through Mulholland

Some really good writing here Matt. Great style all those years ago. Timeless.
This is probably the best review I've seen Matt do, well filmed too.
Huge fan of TST. Now im looking at used panameras and thesd units are under 30k 😂
This has to be the best filmed and executed car review i've ever seen. Not only is it goddamn picture perfect, the scenes and cuts in this one is ridiculously good looking. But, also Matt being so emotional about this car makes the review amazing. I am far from having the kind of cash to get one of these beauties, but Matt almost had me taking a loan for it! haha.
Thanks for yet another great clip.
We filmed the Scion FR-S last week for my segment on G4's "Attack of the Show." It will air in a couple weeks and we will post the video the next day on our web site. Lots of drifting!
Was this one of your favorite drives ever? I absolutely love this review. It just works. Awesome job!
get cars wherever you can get them. I didn't get my first press car until almost a year into making videos. That's part of the hustle of this job.
Oh . Only $190 grand!? I'll just got get my purse.
real men use fanny packs...
Jeffrey Rose u made me spit out my Hennessy
I've actually been to El Mirage just because of this video. I was doing a road trip in California when I saw a small sign for El Mirage and remembered it. We did 120 with a rented FX 37. Thank you Matt Farah.
It's not sand really. It's very hard packed so when you're driving on it, it feels just like concrete just with a very fine layer of dust on top of it. If you're trying to get maximum grip in a corner its not exactly ideal, but for going straight it feels as if you're driving on tarmac.
Great to have another smoking tire video! your tuned episodes are great, but there's a sense of flair and grandness only these videos have.
We just filmed our Scion FRS review, which is more-or-less the same as the BRZ, for Attack of the Show on G4 TV. After it airs, we will post the video on our website, so check back there for it.
The Turbo S comes with different turbos and lots of hardware that doesn't come with the Turbo, and many things that are optional on the Turbo are standard on the S. It's more than just a tune and a couple tweaks.
if pure fast is what you're going for, then I'd have to agree with you, however a CTS-V will never get off the line like this thing can without full-on slicks. The real difference is in everything else. From the room, to the build quality, the materials, and the fact that you can custom order practically every part of the car, not to mention ceramic brakes and AWD, the Porsche is hands down the better car, although you pay for it.
These reviews get more and more professional as you go, good stuff.
they are called Dillon Optics, and you can get them via the link on our website.
Sir, what advantages does this automobile have over say, a locomotive, which I could also afford?
+Matthew Wilson Don't be a Homer.
I have watched all of your vids and this is one of the best, keep up the great work
You do an excellent job of thoroughly and honestly reviewing these automobiles. I just wanted to thank you for your contribution to the motorhead community!
Good shit Matt! Been waiting forever to see a real review of this monster, thank you!
yes, it premieres July 9th.
This is my favorite video by FAR! Good work guys!
There are very few rules at El Mirage, one of them is no drifting on the lakebed. It will cut ruts into it that could easily flip another car that's going a high speed.
There are plenty of larger, affordable performance cars for tall guys. The Corvette, Mustang, CTS-V, SRT-8 range, etc, all are great for tall drivers. And for the record, I used nearly every feature in the Panamera over the course of my week with the car.
Matt, your reviews are perfect!! continue to entertain us, please?
I'm the guy who said it. The Panamera Turbo S has 16 less HP, weighs 300 lb more, and hits 60 mph 6/10 of a second faster than the CTS-V. The V is a great car, but in a drag race, the Porsche's AWD and launch control will give a massive advantage unless you crank up the grip on the V with sticky rear tires.
Excellent video- thanks! Intelligent, unbiased reporting.
Really well done video. Actually have a reason to road trip to Yellowstone now!
Very well produced video. With the Farrah narration, the subtle music in the background and the videography, just a brilliant video about the Panamera.
I want to like the Panamera sooooo much. It's just the most awkward looking car ever. The interior and motor are amazing though.
Cheers.
Just do it. Look where I'm at, consider that I started the show myself with Tom Morningstar (we're partners) as a cameraman and editor, and take the steps you need to take to get there.
more like we used the same gauge shot twice. Watch Top Gear's Veyron vs. James's Plane race. Every time Jeremy hits the gas (while driving from Italy to the UK) the odometer shows the same number.
Ive just stumbled on this channel. This guy seems like a cool dude. Nice videos.
Beautiful car... Awesome review and video. This is what TH-cam was made for.
I loved this video. I feel like I was taken on an automotive adventure, keep it up!
We make three videos a month for Drive, and when season 2 of Tuned starts on July 1st, we will have a dozen films in as many weeks. We're busy making videos, it's a full time job. Just not all of them are posted here. Make sure to follow us on Facebook so you don't miss out.
Chris Harris is (as of now) the only person who does new car reviews on Drive. We do modified cars on Drive, and we do new (stock) cars here.
This is one of my favorite videos I have seen. I think it is shot perfectly. I wish I knew how to make a video like this.
the camera was mounted on the exterior of the car so all you get is wind noise anyway
Dude - you do a good job - no BS...Just good review, good drive - Keep it up man!!
I'm a Brit, I just LOVE this guys style - great entertainment. Top work.
Matt - you are the best american car reviewer. Love your reviews and wish you would do more.
Very detailed review. Thanks.
Great video, well worth the wait!
Great shots! Great review!
Haha! "parkmode". Excellent review as usual. Can't wait to see more from the Smoking Tire crew.
Love your reviews... Thx!
Amazing review. Keep up the great work.
The V1 is extremely effective, the best of all radar detectors. But of course it only works if the cop is actually using radar to catch you. There are all kinds of ways for a cop to tell if you're speeding, and if he uses another one (pacing, laser, instant-on) then it won't be much help. Fortunately most cops are lazy and leave their radar guns all the time, in which case it works great.
It has parking sensors, just not a backup camera.
Matt - your reviews are fuggin awesome.
We shot it in February. We were busy with Tuned, Big Muscle, Ride Apart, etc.
its a beautiful car actually....this is the only car that matches the M6 Gran Coupe
The FF can actually fit 4 people, though the people in the back seat had better be small as hell. I can't fit back there for anything, whereas the Panamera's back seat is so good you could use it as a chauffeur's car.
Great show! Can't wait for the next one.
I always find your reviews to be very helpful and informative. Will you guys do a subaru brz or scion frs review in the future? thanks!!
that's quite true about the exhaust, but most people wouldn't know that, which is why I said it would take a connoisseur or enthusiast to know the difference. The panamera is significantly faster than the CLS63
im so glad you made another vid matt. i love porsches, even the more questionaly looking
Love your reviews Matt.
Great review Matt...keep it up!
I looove this. A creative automotive channel. Put some storyline, visiting a fire like waterfall, laymen language. Ignore guideline, ignore rules, follow your heart Matt, this is a good show!
Word dude! Your encouragement gets me stoked about it!
Good review Mr. Farrah! I love your job
Just bought one. Thanks for the nudge, Matt. :)
Nik Brudar Thanks Nik. It arrives tomorrow. Excited. :)
Nik Brudar Just got it. It's white. Too many options to list here, but it has ceramics, Burmester, sport exhaust, carbon fiber interior, sport wheel, LED headlights, adaptive cruise, 4-zone climate, and more. :)
Nik Brudar Thanks Nik. So far, I'm really enjoying it. I'm coming from a 911 Turbo S though. That's a whole different animal! :)
Nik Brudar I've had the 911 for 8 years. I absolutely LOVE it. It's an amazing car, it performs incredibly, and it's so reliable too. But I just needed a change. I'm almost 50, I have back injuries, and the Panamera gives me the best of both worlds: performance and comfort. But the jury is still out. I've only owned the Panny for two days now. I might end up going back to a 911. We shall see.
frakkintoaster I just bought a 2015 Panamera 4S and I'm coming from a 2011 Panamera 4 lol (put 40k miles on her from new!) The upgrade in 120 HP is crazy to me, but the fuel economy is crappier :( I have a 2014 E 63 AMG S as my "super" car so I just slightly upgraded the Panamera and I love it. How do you like your Panamera after a month?
Matt, I think its great you still respond to user comments on here. You're the man.
Very good work, happy to see a new TST video (i was a bit disapointed by the BMW vids)
If I'm spending my own money, probably CLS63. It's got more of an attitude, an angry exhaust note, and fantastic massage seats. With the $70k you save you can buy a hell of a weekend track car.
Good Video Thanks Again Matt
No, there is no RS6 available in the US since the last-generation (2003) model.
I live in Fresno and I can attest to absolutly no fun here. I love you show Matt keep it up buddy
180mph Wow!! I'm sticking with the brand PORSCHE!! My 08 Cayenne Turbo is FUN in Sport Mode.
Hell yeah
What could possibly be difficult about driving an automatic transmission equipped modern car?
Sorry, after the gazillion mentions in TST and Tuned I couldn't help but troll ;-) I really like the video's, thanks and keep up the good work!
Nice review!
no bullrun. Doctor recommends against road rallies. Of course, that didn't stop me from doing the One Lap of America race this year, which is way more fun than Bullrun.
Awesome, great review.
Great one Matt, you guys have been doing your homework on how to produce a proper car show
Seen this car in person..it's huggeeee but damn it's lovely. Great video, Matt!
Thanks! Will you guys be getting the 5D Mk III for video? Heard it looks great.
great review, first time i saw review like this.
like the real driving 200miles+ and see how's the car going
do you really own the car?
05:50 hey Matt,your "pffffffbbttthhh" sounds better than the exhaust note itself,LOL
Keep up the good work !!!
Hi Matt! Is it really burning oil? How long can you drive before filling it up?
5:20 - This is what stiff bushings give you. Most cars have super squishy rubber bits throughout and really disconnect everything from the driver. It is crazy how direct, and connected the car can be to the driver and the driver to the road when these parts are much firmer or of solid/bearing type.
Its about damn time u guys made a review! Shit its been months. Keep em coming
My father just bought one three days ago in 'Amethyst Metallic'.. fully loaded and all. One of the best cars I have ever driven.
very good informative video, pity you didn't get the waterfall shot. It looked like you drove past some nice trout streams on the way..would have been tempted to stop and cast a fly!
Nice one Matt!!
Still one of the greatest cars I’m collecting mine for when the prices go back up 💪
you do one of the best car videos i´ve seen do more :D
Takes me back to 2013 with all these videos. Bro what shades did you have on?
It's been so long! Finally!!!
I LOVE IT!!! awesome ride!!
I like the land surfer in the background near the end
Some sound advice! My friend at MIT had a 2004 330i ZHP with a 6-speed, I have a 2002 audi A4 quattro (also 6-speed). Can't really get access to nice new cars like you but hey maybe I'll review my own car! :D Freaking cool to talk to you, best of luck with the shows!
nice review matt
excellent car, excellent topic, and an excellent video ..i can not complain my friend, not at all...
