New Panamera sets new record in lap time at Nürburgring

Panamera's lap time is 7: 29.81, setting a new record in the executive car category

Last month, as of the end of July 2020, I still wrote as a rumor that "It seems that a new Panamera has set a record by measuring laps at the Nürburgring" (twitter) ↓

And here, after all, it seems that it was when the lap time record was really updated and I was capturing the shooting site for the announcement ^ ^

Yes, the new facelifted Panamera (known as the Panamera Turbo S) set a time of "7: 29.81" at the Nürburgring (20.832Km) in the executive cars category. It was officially certified as a new record.

Well, that's amazing! Panamera, congratulations (I wonder if it's okay to comment like a friend (laughs)).

No, but Panamera is amazing.

It's so big, and at first glance it feels like "I'm going to run in luxury rather than focusing on speed, I" (← my personal impression), but I set a record at 7: 29.81 in Nürburgring. What is it? As expected Porsche.

According to Khan, the driver who set this record this time, the new Panamera has enhanced chassis and powertrain, and the new electromechanical roll stabilisation system is uneven. It was said that it effectively provided tremendous stability even on the road surface of a certain circuit.

In addition, thanks to the improved grip of Michelin sports tires, it was possible to achieve a cornering speed that was thought to be impossible with Panamera.

New Panamera with even more comfort and sportiness

Panamera's vice president, Thomas Friemuth, said, "Panamera has always been an exclusive touring salon, but it's also a true sports car. It's even more amazing with the new model."

He continued, "In addition to engine output, improvements have been made in terms of cornering stability, body temperature trawl and steering accuracy, and these enhancements improve both daily comfort and performance. This lap time record. However, it is a solid proof of that. "

The lap time measurement at the Nürburgring this time will start from 1:49 pm on July 24, 2020 under the environment of an outside temperature of 22 degrees and a circuit surface temperature of 34 degrees.

The Panamera is a slightly camouflaged exterior (not yet announced ...), equipped with racing seats and a safety cage, and was accomplished by racing driver Lars Kern.

Speaking of Lars KhanThose who set a record of 7:42 at the Nürburgring in Taycan on August 26, 2019Also, on September 20, 2017, the Porsche 911 GT2 RS (991.2) recorded a record of 6: 47.25. By the way, I am 32 years old now.

New Panamera announced at the end of August 2020

This new Panamera will be officially announced at the end of August 2020.

The Michelin tire "Pilot Sports Cup 2", which was newly developed for this new Panamera and was also used when setting the record this time, will be an option after this new Panamera is officially announced. It seems that it will be provided at the time of general sale.

This record is about 13 seconds faster than the previous model

Previously, Panamera made a time attack at the Nürburgring in 2016.

Also by Mr. Lars Khan, at that time Panamera Turbo (550 horsepower) recorded a time of "7: 38.46".

However, at this time, the official measurement distance at the Nürburgring was "20.6 km", and now according to the new regulations of the Nürburgring, the distance is "20.832 km", so at the previous 20.6 km point. Comparing the times of, this time the time at the 20.6 km point is "7: 25.04", so it seems that the time has been shortened by about 13 seconds than before.

Shrinking 13 seconds is pretty amazing! !! Anyway, I would like to congratulate Panamera and Porsche for setting a new record. It was good news ^^

* The official record for this time is "20.832 km 7: 29.81".
