I was supposed to shoot the new Porsche Panamera turbo for Rijtesten.nl, but as it was sold in the week prior to the test, we were given a 911 turbo with PDK instead. As you can probably understand, that was fine with us, so we had a blast cruising around in it. 
500bhp and 650Nm on tap are just insane, especially with the PDK. This car also had the optional Sports Chrono Pack, enabling it to do 0-100km/h in 3.4s, over and over again, even on moist roads. We also drove a stretch of Autobahn and the acceleration at higher speeds is incredible, as the 0-200km/h time of 11.3s already suggested.
This was also the first time I tried to make a good feature-video of a cartest. The presenting is in Dutch, but I think that it’s still worth to have a look at it:
As usual all pictures can be seen on Flickr and the test is up at Rijtesten.nl.
