And that"s not just because the diesel-powered Panamera 4S isn"t restrained by a spoilsport 155mph limiter (it"ll actually run on to a massive 177mph). It"s the acceleration: 0-62mph takes just 4.5 seconds. Spec the Sport Chrono to take advantage of the eight-speed PDK"s launch control and that drops to 4.3 seconds. Yes, that"s a diesel luxury saloon that"ll peg a well-driven Cayman GT4 off the line. Oh, and it"ll do over 42mpg. If any car can make diesel cool beyond Audi"s LMP1 effort, it"s this.
