Professional racing driver Leh Keen was enlisted by Porsche to showcase the driving capabilities of the new Panamera on the 4.0-kilometre race track. This achievement follows the benchmark lap time achieved by the Taycan Turbo S at the same track last year. "The stability (of the Panamera) gave me a ton of confidence to use every bit of the asphalt and curbs," said Keen. "And yet the car has a completely different and more refined and relaxed character on the highway."

The tyres bear the typical Porsche 'N' designation, signifying that it is a co-development between Porsche and the tyre manufacturer. The tyre was tuned at the Nürburgring track specifically for the Panamera.
