in terms of panamera turbo s it won't destroy the M5, the most it will break even.

I'd bet on the M5 beating the turbo S. And the upcoming M5 CS would take it to another level.
The M5 is just a class leader. My only gripe is that it's too insulated - get rid of the fake engine fluff, tighten the downshifts, widen the hips a little more, and you have a near perfect car. |
The new Panamera 2021 righted many of the wrongs with the pano. It just blazed around the ring much faster than M5 Comp
They dropped the regular turbo and now for 2021 offer a non hybrid pano turbo s with 620 hp and over 600 lb feet of torque. Porsche and their conservative numbers say 2.9 to 60 which will likely be 2.7 and 1/4 mile in the 10's no problem
The M5 is much less expensive and the result in this race are impressive.
I think will be a different story lining up all the LCI's
2021 M5 comp vs 2021 E63 vs 2021 Pano Turbo S |
Saw those stats too. However the car is 300lb heavier with negligible power difference. My money is still on the M5 which has already beaten the E-Hybrid and GT 63 S in a straight line.
But this is just armchair analysis - agree that we need a drag race soon  |
The e hybrid weighs 5500 lbs or something crazy. The new turbo s is 300lbs heavier than the M5 comp. My point was simply that I'd like to see the 2021's battle
My bet is on the pano. PDK alone will make it faster |
The race would be interesting! Looking forward to it. My $ on the M5.
I'm also curious to see how much the faster the M5 LCI (and 2020 M5C) is compared to the 2019 M5C due to the newer transmission. Owners of both have seen discernible improvement.
