The new Panamera, driven by Lars Kern, completed the Nürburgring in 7:24.17, 5.64 seconds faster than the previous version. This marks an impressive achievement and sets a record in the category of gasoline-powered luxury sedans.

Unfortunately, Porsche has yet to reveal the car's specifications. However, it is known that the tested version will soon be available for purchase and will be the top variant in the model lineup.

This likely means even more power than the 680-horsepower Turbo E-Hybrid variant, along with other improvements. Some of these upgrades are visible in the photos, including aerodynamic elements such as the adjustable spoiler on the rear hatch and a larger splitter on the front bumper.

Also notable are the 21-inch wheels with a central lug, which are fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires in the record-breaking model. Due to regulations, Porsche assures that the car is completely in stock, except for the safety cage and racing seats.
