The verdict

What's good

Twin-turbo V8 delivers grand-tourer thrust with a sporting edge few four-door cars can match
Rear-axle steering makes this long wheelbase car feel far more agile in real traffic
Active suspension absorbs motorway miles in genuine luxury without sacrificing corner precision
Back seat offers first-class airline levels of legroom — genuinely usable for adults

What's not

Options pricing can add over $30K before you reach a properly specced car
Steep depreciation curve makes buying used substantially better value than new
Fuel consumption climbs sharply when the V8 is used anywhere near its potential
Infotainment system requires a learning curve before daily use becomes intuitive

The engine

4.0L Twin-Turbo V8

Porsche's 4.0-liter hot-vee twin-turbo V8 gives the Cayenne and Panamera GTS and S models a deep, muscular soundtrack and savage, immediate mid-range shove.

A Porsche-developed V8 shared with Audi and Bentley within the VW Group, tuned in Stuttgart for the sharpest throttle response and the most aggressive voice of the bunch.

The turbos sit inside the V of the engine for quicker spool.
Porsche's calibration gives it a harder edge than its Audi and Bentley cousins.
