The new Panamera shatters previous records at the Nürburgring.
Porsche‘s newest Panamera has once again shown what it’s made of on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, with test driver Lars Kern behind the wheel. The high-performance four-door hatch clocked in 5.64 seconds faster than its predecessor, setting a new record of 7:24.17 minutes. The milestone achievement speaks volumes about Porsche’s dedication to refining its sports cars. Kern, who had previously set records in 2016 and 2020, was impressed with Panamera’s improved agility, especially in tricky sections like Hohe Acht and Brünnchen.
The Panamera‘s performance increase comes from several key upgrades, including a hybrid-assisted, eight-cylinder engine and Porsche’s new Active Ride chassis. These changes, along with track-focused Michelin tires, contributed to a faster lap time. Kern emphasized the chassis’ stability and agility, perfectly balancing comfort and sportiness. The new Panamera is about delivering a driving experience that acclimates seamlessly from everyday roads to demanding tracks like the Nürburgring.
For the record-setting lap, the Panamera was equipped with a racing seat and safety cage for protection, but it stayed true to its series version. A specially designed Carbon Aerokit enhanced its performance by increasing downforce and improving aerodynamic balance. The new Panamera shows that Porsche continues to push the envelope.
