Panamera leaked!

So nothing new then. We all knew what it was going to look like. Don't act so shocked. :-D

I'll be waiting for the new Rapide and the other Lagondas.
*Nevermind. Seeing what they did with the One-77, I'm not looking forward to that at all either.

Oh well. We still have the Quattroporte and the CLS, right? Be happy gents. ;-)

hmm well it's nothing special, it looks okey but i have expectet more..
It's just a 911 with 4 doors :-( They Lamborghini Estoque concept is just so much cooler :-D

Yeah, nothing new. Those slightly camouflaged mules that ran around gave away much of the car. It looks like a squashed Cayenne. Meh.

Second that!

Isnt Lamborghini about to release a diesel SUV on the tail of Porsches new station wagon?

Where's the fancy spoiler?

^Didn't you notice the "4S" badging on the photos? It's probably for the Turbo only.

I dont know what to say.

I'm a bit of a Porsche purist, so I expected to hate this.. But i'm going to wait to see more pics. It is not the most beautiful car i've ever seen, but it is intriguing.
Is it a sedan, or a station wagon though?

... meh for now, but I know it will grow on me as time goes on. its not a bad looking car thats for sure.

looks original :ohmy:... awful

Front is very similar to the Corvette. But definitely the rear is just terrible.

Front looks like fu**ed up Lamborghini Estoque and rear like porsche cayene. This car is ugly

it sure is

Yeah. But the Porsche will be probably better to drive and it'll be more useful.

Looks ok from some angles... but, it seems they injected rear engine 911 DNA into the absolute rear, put on a long hood because the engine is up front, and stretched the cabin area of a 911 to fit 4 doors.

Not pretty, but I bet she's a fun girl to ride.

It is funny saying "the Estoque is nicer looking" yes it is, except the nose. But that is akin to choosing between eating either Squirrel, or Possum. Both are roadkill. :P

Neither are a patch on the Rapide.

when looking at that first picture i was thinking "will there be a hearse version?"

not as bad as i had thought it would turn out, but still damn ugley

A number of official details on the new Porsche Panamera have finally been released, ending years of speculation and frantic spy activity. Although we have covered most of this previously, it's worth noting one or two other details that may have slipped past our beady eyes.

The Panamera is a four door coupe which is the fourth model line for Porsche, following 911, Boxster/ Cayman, and Cayenne. It has clear Porsche DNA in its design, with a typical 911 landscape upfront, wide striking wheel arches, a slanting roofline with a Grand Tourer silhouette and new strongly contoured air intakes instead of a conventional radiator grille.

Engines will be V shaped, with 6 and 8 cylinders pushing a minimum of 300bhp to 500bhp, driving either the rear wheels or all four. Naturally aspirated and aspirated (turbo) petrol engines will be used, while a hybrid model should add a different dimension to the range. PDK, the new 7-speed double-clutch gearbox, will feature as an option to those who prefer it over 6-speed manual.

The Panamera's interior is made for sporting comfort, where the dash is driver-oriented in design. Passengers are also included in the fun since rear seating is more cinema-like, and the passengers are able to observe most of the going ons from their own comfort. The rear seats accommodate only two, making the Panamera a 2+2 four-door coupe. More info on engines, transmissions etc, will trickle through in the coming months. It will be built at Porsche's Leipzig plant for a showroom appearance of around August 2009. International Motor Shows will be showing the car going forward.
