[10번째 리뷰] Porsche vs. BMW, won at Yeongam Circuit. 2 episodes

As expected, the M550i won in drag races and lap times measurements. However, the charm of the’green car’ Panamera 4-E Hybrid from Porsche, a professional sports car brand, enables sports driving in everyday life. The M550i is also a great alternative to the M5, which is inconvenient for everyday driving. It shows monster-like performance on the circuit and the premium business sedan on everyday driving.

Porsche filial piety Two-seater sports cars like the 911 are less versatile. Porsche’s four-seater coupe Panamera and sports utility vehicle (SUV) Cayenne and Macan are released to alleviate this inconvenience and expand customer choice. It’s a model who makes money for Porsche.

Daily pleasure The M550i is the best-running model among the BMW 5 Series, which claims to be a premium business sedan. It provides a comfortable ride and excellent fuel economy in everyday life, and transforms into a monstrous sports car on the track. The best option if you can’t give up your daily pleasure.

Porsche is also an electric car Goes. Porsche has already introduced a pure electric car’Taikan’. The Panamera 4-E Hybrid represents a Porsche transformation. While not giving up the brand’s sports DNA, it has captured the joy and fuel economy of everyday life.

M Expansion of worldview In the past, BMW, which introduced’hard core’ high-performance models like M3 and M5, is expanding the scope of M. From models with sports characteristics like the M sports package, the M550i, which is not hardcore, but exhibits high performance, is also released. Like the M340i and M440i, it is an extension of the world view that does not miss the joy of everyday life.

TMI
· The Panamera 4-E Hybrid is a’plug-in hybrid’ vehicle. However, even without charging, the battery can be fully charged with only normal driving. Good choice for those who are burdened with long charging times.
· The M550i does not differ significantly in price from the 540i, which is the class below it. However, compared to the 540i, which is a four-cylinder turbo engine, the V8 engine sound and greater power are the advantages. If you invest this much, it is the M550i.
· The rear seats of the Panamera 4-E Hybrid are of a luxury Grand Tourer (GT, high-performance vehicle capable of long distance driving). If you think about the family, a four-seater coupe is better than a two-seater sports car.
· The M550i includes the latest 5 Series advanced driver assistance functions (ADAS). You can use the mobile phone’s app wirelessly, and the level 2 level of reliable semi-autonomous driving is also an advantage.
