Center Lock wheels aren't typically used on street-driven cars. They require considerable torque to secure and as such, they aren't easily removed should you get a flat. The design is beneficial for racing, as the smaller center lock hub means more room for big brakes. Porsche uses center lock wheels on extreme versions of the 911 like the GT3 and Turbo S, but we've never seen such tech on the considerably larger Panamera sedan. Until now.
