2008/2009 Porsche Panamera (4 door sedan)
They're saying between 125-175,000 bucks.
Wiki crap:
The
Porsche Panamera is a four-door, four-seat
coupe, currently still in concept stages, set to be launched in
2009. It will be front engined and rear wheel drive and powered by a modified version of the 4.5 L V8 found in the
Cayenne, equipped with the
FSI system invented by
Volkswagen (Porsche and Volkswagen collaborated on the Cayenne/
Touareg sport utility vehicle). Base spec models will be engineered with a 3.6 litre V6 found in the upcoming 2008 facelifted Cayenne, and there is even a hybrid version in the pipeline. Rumours suggest that the
V10 engine from Porsche's limited-run
Carrera GT supercar may be offered as well, although this is still extremely unlikely given the expense of manufacturing the engine and that Porsche does not currently have a facility capable of producing a suitable number of the V10 per year. A rumour is also around that the V12 diesel from the
Audi Q7 could make it into the Panamera
The final assembly of the vehicles will take place in
Leipzig. Engines will be assembled in
Stuttgart, and the car's painted body will come from the Volkswagen facility in
Hanover.
The Panamera is generally considered to be the long-awaited fruit of their
989 concept from the late 1980s; some argue that it also presents itself as a suitable successor to the 2-doored
928, although some amount of debate surrounds this. It will be marketed as a direct competitor to automobiles such as the
Mercedes-Benz CLS 55 AMG and
Maserati Quattroporte and (to a lesser degree) a less expensive alternative to vehicles such the
Bentley Continental GT,
Ferrari 612 Scaglietti and
Aston Martin Rapide. It is the first
V8-engined
sports car built by Porsche since
1995, when the 928 was discontinued and will be produced in the new plant at
Leipzig alongside the
Cayenne. The vehicle has been caught testing at the Nurburgring and the original sketches are a little more sleek than the taped up model spied testing
Artist renderings of the car already distributed by Porsche show a low-slung, four-door sports car with narrow side windows and flowing lines. However spy shots of the Porsche Panamera testing at the Nurburgring show a more blunt car than the artists renderings, it looks a little like a stretched 997 Turbo
The Panamera's name is derived, like the
Porsche Carrera line, from the
Carrera Panamericana race. Earlier prototypes of four-door sedans such as the
1991 Porsche 989 prototype or the even earlier 4 door 911 based prototype, never went into production.
Couple of photos I found here and there.
Clearly, both photos are guesses.
