Don't be fooled by the illustrations and camouflaged spy shots of the Panamera. Porsche has released pictures that are the real deal. the new Panamera in its "final look" form, according to Porsche. The company describes it as a "unique interpretation of the classic saloon body."
The Panamera is lower and wider than a traditional four-door at 76.0 inches wide and 55.8 inches high. In front, there are contoured air intakes in place of a traditional grille. The 911 resemblance is strongest in the wheel arches and long hood line, Porsche notes.
The Panamera will be available with engine choices ranging from 300 to 500 horsepower, including a hybrid version. Engines will be mated to a manual six-speed or Porsche's new PDK seven-speed, automated dual-clutch transmission. The top model will have all-wheel drive as standard; it's an option on other Panameras. Full powertrain information won't be out till spring, Porsche says.
The 2010 Porsche Panamera is set for official unveiling in the spring, with an on-sale date by the end of summer 2009.
While I find the front and side shots very attractive, the rear of the car somewhat turns me off. I think I will still be a Targa 4S fan. Perhaps it just takes some getting used to?
