The difference is really down to PDK, it's a great transmission. PDK just came out on the 2010 997 Turbo and it's dropped well over half a second off the 0-60 time (as low as 3.2 seconds for the 2010, roughly 3.9 for the 2009, and the 2010 car only has 20hp extra compared to the 2009).

Jay Leno Drives the Panamera Turbo and David Donohue shows him how to use launch control.
Jay looks like he was dragged out of bed at 3am.
Check out the video:

I need more of my own clients......
I love the Panamera though - I think its a beautiful and somewhat appropriate re-incarnation of the Bugatti EB112, but I view it as a welcome similarity.
Here're a few pics of the Bug, so y'all can disagree:
not so similar from the front
but the back...
