While sharper than before, the new Porsche Panamera could still be mistaken for the previous car. But hop inside and you’ll be presented with a new digitalised cockpit. That isn’t all - equipped with a turbocharged 2.9-litre V6, the Panamera puts out 349bhp and 500Nm of torque, crushing the century sprint in just 5.3 seconds.

Despite being an ‘entry-level’ Porsche, the Panamera exceeds lofty expectation to offer plenty of poke and handles bends with ease.

The third-generation Flying Spur no longer has a W12 variant - in place of it are the options for a 4.0-litre V8 or a 2.9-litre plug-in hybrid powertrain. Whichever your choice of drivetrain is, the result is a refined, quiet and powerful drive.
