Porsche, a brand that is no stranger to the Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit, has just set the production sedan lap record at the Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta circuit. The weapon of choice this time is the 2021 Panamera Turbo S facelift.
Piloting the four-door grand tourer around the four-kilometer track was professional race car driver Leh Keen. He set a benchmark lap time of one minute 31.51 seconds, which is slightly quicker than the Taycan Turbo S‘ time of one minute 33.88 seconds.
“The engineers found a perfect balance,” said Keen. “They really made it feel small and sporty. The stability gave me a ton of confidence to use every bit of the asphalt and curbs. And yet the car has a completely different and more refined and relaxed character on the highway – an amazing combination.”
