Best Motoring March 2010

 6 months ago
After seeing Best Motoring's latest DVD, you shouldn't doubt about Porsche Panamera Turbo as the fastest 4-door car. Because it just is the fastest.

This latest episode of BM is one of the best I've seen, mostly because it features two new and very important cars - Porsche Panamera and Mercedes E63 AMG. Both have received praise for performance abilities they possess and since they both fall into same power/weight category, logically, you ask yourself "which one is faster?"

My bet was on Panamera Turbo and it did not disappoint. I was actually surprised when it managed to outperform 997 4S in both - acceleration and track test. That's 1 for the luxury 4-door GT and nil for the sportscar!

Here are the contents of Best Motoring March 2010 in a nutshell:

MOTEGI Power wars (acceleration duels)
Keiichi Tsuchiya High-Power FR Test (time attack)
Panamera Turbo vs 997 4S duel (in Motegi and Tsukuba)
5LAPS Tsukuba Battle (you know what it is)
Cars involved: Porsche Panamera S, Porsche Panamera Turbo, Audi S8, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG, Maserati Quattroporte S, Lexus LS460, Porsche 911 Carrera 4S (face-lifted)

Get it, see it and enjoy!

fastest 4 door track test?
Porsche's, BMW's, Mercedes', Audi's.....pshhh

I didnt watch the video and sorry if I sound like a fanboy in this but why is it (Panamera) listed as "slower than a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution" and y'all are saying its the fastest? And thats not even an FQ400. 3.55 seconds to 100km; what 4 door car has a faster acceleration than that? What is this false article I see here? C'mon y'all are better than that.

.....

Sorry, that was turbo lag

@ramzi every track test has shown that the new E63 AMG is faster around race tracks than the e60 M5..so most likely it would have lost this compare to the E63 AMG clearly

Kevin, you do know the V would loose to the PanAmera Turbo right? sure the Porsche isnt the best looking car (Rear End) and it may be a lil on the expensive side 143K, but its still a Porsche, and Porsche doesnt make anything thats not Spectacular, and dobt compaer ur Tuned V to these, if so, lets just bring in a CLS Rocket or an Asma, or anything else tuned. we all know the V is a a good (Quite Good) price, 59K, but gimme that QuattroPorte S over any Sedan!!!

I would never spend that money on any of those cars. I would spend it on a half priced, equally good Cadillac CTS-V and spend my leftover cash on mods for it. For the same price as any of the others the CTS-V will kick their a$$es.

an m5 here would add to the flavor,my guess is that the new e63 is still slower than current m5,any objective thoughts about that?where can i watch the video of this test please ? thx

I have no idea. Also, for some reason they didn't take Maserati to the track despite quite respectable time attack result.

Maybe someone who understands Japanese can comment on this :)

why did they add the already out of production Audi S8???? Why not adding the RS6 sedan if they test the E63 AMG?
