Who's Your Daddy? 2014 Audi RS7 vs 2014 Porsche Panamera Turbo Video Shootout!

No-one does the super sedan better than the Germans. And one particular Teutonic automobile giant does them better than anyone. The VW Group has mastered the art of the high-performance, brutally fast luxury four-door sedan. Two of their finest efforts are the Audi RS7 and Porsche Panamera Turbo, which Jonny Lieberman has made the focus of Motor Trend's Head 2 Head.

After a few numbers tests and a drive through the canyons, the 560-hp 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 Audi and 520-hp 4.8-liter twin-turbo V8 Porsche are practically inseparable. So it takes professional race driver Randy Pobst to have the final word on the track.

They are both phenomenal cars in addition to the CLS63 and M6GC. It really comes down to personal preference. From these two, I'd take the Porsche, easily. Both the interior and exterior styling is more expressive and aggressive, and makes a statement and the Porsche appears to have much better driving dynamics. The RS7 is very refined in its design, almost to the point of being boring.

Sweet rides - both of them -- but the Porsche got hit with the ugly stick big time.....

Audi by far. I don't want to be seen in the 911 caricature sedan designed for men more than double my age who wear too many gold chains and chase women fresh out of high school with oversized silicone breasts. The Panamera is for THAT kind of man. The Audi is the embodiment of a man with breeding and a PhD.

I tend to agree. I can picture a bald guy with a pony tail, few gold chains and heart pacemaker walking out of the Panamera. Ouch...

LOL. You guys are really ignorant. If you were ACTUALLY around these cars consistently, you'd know that the people driving the Panamera are completely not like that. FACT.

@spruce_rd I can't afford either (27 with a PhD) but the Audi has my nod. My next car will be a genesis or a CTS
