Shortly before its market launch, the new Porsche Panamera sets a first exclamation mark: With Porsche test driver Lars Kern at the wheel, a pre-series vehicle lapped the Nordschleife of the Nürburgring 5.64 seconds faster than the comparable model of the previous generation. The 7:24.17 minutes is a new best time for luxury vehicles with combustion engines and hybrids. The vehicle was powered by an electrically assisted eight-cylinder petrol engine.
The Panamera driven by Lars Kern was equipped with a racing seat and the prescribed safety cage to protect the driver, but otherwise corresponded to the standard version. The Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires in size 275/35 ZR 21 at the front and 325/30 ZR 21 at the rear were specially developed for the Panamera. For optimized performance, the optional carbon aerokit eliminated the lift forces on the front axle. In conjunction with the Gurney Flap on the adaptive four-way rear spoiler, this generates downforce on the bottom line. This benefits the aerodynamic balance. "The new Porsche Active Ride suspension makes a particularly large contribution. The vehicle always remains parallel to the road. Cornering stability and body stability reach a new level," said Kern after the record lap. He had already set class records on the Nordschleife with the Panamera in 2016 and 2020, most recently in the Panamera Turbo S (7:29.81 minutes). (aum)
