Racing legend Walter Rà¶hrl likes the Porsche Panamera Turbo.

In the video Rà¶hrl gives us a tour of the Panamera Turbo and then takes it for a nice, easy ride with a full load of passengers in tow. He says he's impressed with the efficiency of the 4.8 liter, twin-turbo, 8-cylinder engine with 500 bhp and the smoothness of the 7-speed PDK double-clutch transmission.

That may be the PR division talking but it's hard not to recognize how unique this Panamera is as a 4-door sport coupe with the kind of luxury and technology features it comes with - features such as the Launch Control and a chassis control with rear-differential lock which help maximize performance.

Rà¶hrl later takes the Panamera onto the track at Porsche Leipzig to show us how the all-wheel drive Panamera Turbo, which does the 0 to 100 km/h sprint in 4.2 seconds and has a top speed of 303 km/h, can handle itself on the track. In his expert hands, it looks real easy.

"I don't know of any other car that gets the balance between comfort and sportiness as right as the Panamera," says Rà¶hrl.
