10. 2021 Porsche Panamera Turbo S
0-60 mph: 2.6 sec
Quarter mile: 10.9 sec @ 126.0 mph
Only nine four-door production cars have recorded faster quarter-mile times than this Panamera in the history of MotorTrend testing. Eight of those are electric cars that deliver huge shocks of torque instantaneously and without interruption (or with only a single shift in the case of the Porsche Taycan Turbo S). So perhaps it's unsurprising that our test driver said that this Turbo S, despite its 620-hp twin-turbo V-8, felt like a fast electric sedan.
It's certainly heavy like an EV, weighing in at 4,694 pounds, or just 122 pounds less than the Tesla Model S Plaid that holds the title as quickest production car we've ever tested. MotorTrend's driver noted a moment of hesitation as all that mass was put into motion and then, to his butt, what felt like a stronger push than even the 911 Turbo S delivered. The results speak for themselves.
