Porsche held its first-ever Asia Pacific regional media drive of the new Panamera at Taiwan’s Sun Moon Lake from March 14 to 31. Panamera: Two Trails is specifically designed to highlight how performance and luxury, two contrasting characteristics, are reconciled more than ever before in the second-generation Gran Turismo. At the event, more than 80 media participants got behind the wheel of the Panamera, Panamera 4 and Panamera 4S, to experience the sports car among luxury saloons. A Panamera Turbo was also on display at the base venue.
The drive is split into two trails with its own distinct character and routes – the Performance Trail and the Luxury Trail. Under the guidance of Porsche certified instructors, drivers tested the mettle of the cars on the Performance Trail via winding, mountainous roads and high-speed expressways in Nantou County. For the Luxury Trail, the Panameras cruised the vicinity of scenic Sun Moon Lake and also parked to enjoy a picnic set up right from the boot of a Panamera. After the sun set, participants experienced a live demonstration of the Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) Plus and Night Vision Assist as they navigated roads confidently in a near pitch-black night environment.
