If your goal is to cruise Alameda’s highways in absolute luxury, there are a number of choices before you. Browsing your options, you may have stumbled across the BMW 7-Series, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, or Audi A7—all of which have earned their place in the luxury performance segment. But, when it comes to speed, power, and comfort—all rolled into one—few can compete with the new Porsche Panamera. To show you what we mean, we’ve put together the chart below!

At the base level, the Audi A7 and BMW 7-Series fail to overcome the Panamera Sedan’s power and torque. And even the legendarily equipped Mercedes-Benz S-Class doesn’t include some of the Panamera offerings, such as built-in WiFi and parking sensors. Meanwhile, none can match the Panamera Sedan’s furious top tack speed of 164 mph. Bottom line: this is the vehicle you want if you’re shopping for a speedy sedan with A-grade sports equipment and tech.
