# Porsche Panamera 4S

A four-door Porsche with 440bhp and all-wheel drive. The one to take when four adults and their luggage have to travel and the journey still has to be worth making.

## Highlights

- 440bhp from a 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6, with all-wheel drive underneath it
- Four doors and a hatchback boot, so it swallows more than the shape suggests
- All-wheel drive, which is what makes it a car you can use through a British winter
- Quiet enough to take a call in and quick enough to be worth the journey
- Arranged through a vetted partner rather than held by us

## What is the Porsche Panamera 4S like to drive?

It disguises its size better than anything else this long has a right to. The steering is lighter than a 911’s and still accurate, the body stays flat through a corner taken quickly, and the 440bhp is delivered smoothly enough that nobody in the back has to brace. All-wheel drive means it puts the power down in the wet without argument, which in Britain is most of the year. What it is not is a sports car with doors: it is heavy and it knows it, and driven hard back to back with a Cayman the Cayman is the one you would choose. Driven across the country with four people aboard, this is not a contest.

## How much does it cost to lease a Porsche Panamera 4S?

Confirmed against the specific car and the term rather than published here, because it is a partner-arranged vehicle and there is no list rate we could stand behind for a car somebody else holds. The agreement itself is published: three-month minimum, one month up front and the balance monthly, 1,000 miles a month, £1.50 a mile beyond it. The deposit and the insurance excess are both £3,500. For a car more likely than most here to be used for actual journeys, it is worth saying when you enquire if 1,000 miles a month is not enough, because the allowance can be quoted to what you need instead of being exceeded.

## Is the Panamera 4S a good company car to lease short term?

It is the most defensible car in this catalogue for business use, which is a real consideration when the car is arriving at a client’s office. It carries four adults properly, the boot is a hatchback rather than a letterbox, and it is quiet enough at motorway speed to take a call. Nothing about it looks like it was chosen to be looked at, which is the point. A three-month agreement also suits a defined piece of work better than a two-year lease does, and the car goes back at the end rather than sitting on a balance sheet.

## Panamera 4S or a Bentley Flying Spur?

Both are in this catalogue and they answer different questions. The Flying Spur is the more comfortable car and the more impressive one to arrive in, and it is noticeably bigger inside. The Panamera is the better one to drive yourself, is easier to place on a narrow road and in a car park, and asks less of you over a long day. If somebody else is driving, take the Bentley. If you are, take this.

## Do you have this exact car?

No. The Panamera 4S is arranged through a vetted partner rather than owned by us, which the badge states, and your dates are confirmed with them before anything is agreed. There is no price on this page for the same reason. The images are representative studio renderings of the model rather than photographs of an individual car.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can you lease a Porsche Panamera 4S in the UK?

Yes, on a three-month minimum with 1,000 miles a month and delivery anywhere in mainland Britain. It is partner-arranged rather than held by us, so availability for your dates is confirmed first and the monthly figure comes with that confirmation.

### How fast is the Panamera 4S?

The 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 makes 440bhp, which is about 4.1 seconds to 62mph and roughly 183mph. More relevant to how it actually feels is that all-wheel drive puts all of it down on a wet road, so the car is as quick in February as it is in June.

### How many people does the Panamera 4S carry?

Five, and unlike most cars in this catalogue that is a genuine five rather than a technical one. The rear seats take adults on a long journey and the hatchback boot takes their luggage. It is the most practical fast car here.

### Is the Panamera available with all-wheel drive?

The 4S is all-wheel drive as standard, which is what the 4 in the name refers to. That is the main practical difference between it and the rear-driven cars in this catalogue, and it is the reason this is a car you could run through a winter without thinking about it.

*Performance & Prestige leases vehicles from its own fleet and, where a vehicle is not one of ours, arranges it through a vetted partner. Cars marked "we can source" carry no published figure and are subject to confirmation before anything is agreed. Monthly figures include VAT and are quoted with their minimum term. Nothing is booked or paid for through this website: a person confirms the car, the full cost and the delivery slot with you first.*

*Pre-launch note: the driver criteria, deposits, excesses and mileage allowances quoted here are read from Performance & Prestige's own catalogue data, which is still being confirmed with the owner and the insurer. Read them as the shape of the figures rather than as a quotation. What binds is your written quote and your agreement.*
