Porsche will be adding a new car to their line-up .. The Panamera.
A car with a
real backseat
It's not a new fact, it's been going around since 2005, but now they really started testing it...
A lot of European people are asking why this Porsche is needed? But they asked the same question regarding the Cayenne and it became a huge succes; so we'll wait and see.
The release will be in 2009... with the Panamera, Porsche will use technique elements of both the Cayenne and Carrera GT. Standard motorization will be a 4,5 liter V8 engine with 340HP (normal aspired) and a 450HP (turbo) is planned. The top model is to be equipped with a V10, based on the Carrera GT engine, which will produce an output of over 600 HP.
I'll post pictures/scoobs with the dates of release...
The final car will probably be similar:

Your comments?
Me, I don't really like it, but once they start driving the Belgian roads i'll probably be the first to love it...
