Drive the Panamera Turbo then form an opinion. I too have an M6 GC and when the right deal comes along I will hop into a Panamera Turbo. That car is really good. You'll need to drive it in sport mode to understand.

Agreed. A 991 TTS is the only car I would trade my M6 for.

Coincidentally, before I bought my M6 GC, I toyed around the thought of getting a 2014 Panamera Turbo. Ultimately, I think BMW does it better in this category. The M6 GC just straight up looks better and has massively more appealing presence when you see it in person, on the move and in pictures. IMO, the only thing the Panamera Turbo does better than the M6 is the AWD system (if you need it for your climate) and it is 100 lbs lighter in PDK form than the M6 GC with DCT, and is about 1 inch shorter in the wheelbase.

That and my CEO owns a 2012-ish Panamera Turbo, so I cannot fathom being seen driving a updated version of his car (though I suspect he's upgrading to the new one soon). We already park next to each other in the lot.

I've driven the 991.1 Turbo S. Fucking amazing machine. I think my next car will be a 997.2 Turbo S.

Though I have to say, the acceleration of the M6 has a lot of the characteristics of the 991 Turbo. It's not as fast or raw, but it hustles, hisses and pops just like the 991.

For a usable GT car with 4 seats maybe S63 coupe, Panamera Turbo.

I really enjoy my M6 CP, I previously rented M6 on Turo for 2 separate business trips without competition package. Somehow I could not get it off my mind, so I picked up a low mileage 14 M6 CP to use as work car. It turned out I love it. It is so easily controllable even with traction off, in MDM mode very safe. In my other cars I don't even dare go sideways.

Build your own car. Favorite German Engine on your favorite chassis.

Mine would be biturbo V12 (MB) in an e92. Or kit car... Be creative!

Garage List
So from what i understand you like sporty but luxurious GT's otherwise I would have recommended a 570S - it's the best car in that budget right now without a doubt IMHO. I have a 6 series (not an M6 but drove an f10 M5) and with a budget of $200k I think you'll be really happy with an SL63 (or an SL65 if you can go slightly above 200k). Other options include the new DB11 or BCGT. Or just wait for the M8 which for all intents and purposes is a faster and more luxurious replacement for your car. Good luck!

Depends on what you're looking for in this type of car?

Strictly Luxury? Wraith
Performance? C7 ZR1

Both? AMG GT-R (w/ Mods)
