I'm very familiar with the Panamera Turbo. It's equipped with a 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbocharged engine, delivering an impressive power output of around 550 horsepower. The acceleration is incredibly fast, taking just over 3 seconds to go from 0 to 100 km/h, and the push-back feeling is particularly exhilarating. Driving on the highway, it can accelerate instantly, making overtaking effortless. The engine sound is deep and resonant, especially in sport mode where it roars powerfully. However, the fuel consumption is slightly high, averaging about 15 liters per 100 km in the city, and it might be a bit more economical on long trips but still around 12 liters. It's best to use 98-octane gasoline for peace of mind. This engine utilizes variable geometry turbo technology, reducing turbo lag significantly and making the start-up much quicker. From my test drive, I felt it responds more agilely than naturally aspirated engines, but during maintenance, extra attention is needed to check the engine oil and fuel lines to prevent leaks.
