Totally agreed and as you say, the mag tests bear this out. PDK also allows practically uninterrupted power delivery during the shift as well; full throttle shifts too.

Some more Panamera Turbo figures from recent tests:

Road & Track
0-60: 3.4
1/4 mi: 11.7 @ 118
Skidpad: 0.96g, mild understeer
Slalom: 69.1 mph, neutral

Car & Driver
0-60: 3.3 seconds
0-160: 24.6 seconds
1/4-mi: 11.7 seconds @ 119 mph
