    Re: New Panamera

    Does it come with an anchor?

    Re: New Panamera

    oh boy the lexus look isn't going away, not good imo. but the color fits perfectly

    Re: New Panamera

    Looks like there is a fake panel covering the c-pillar giving it that Lexus GS profile on purpose to throw us off.
    Let's hope that the rear edge of the back window has a more classic 911 ovoid curve.

    OTOH, maybe this IS a Lexus GS with fake Porsche front to hide their future S6/E63/M5 contender , lol.

    Re: New Panamera

    every car thats so heavily disguised would look awfull, even the AM Rapide..

    Re: New Panamera

    I dont care how many panels they have camo'ed. That's one ugly car!

    Re: New Panamera

    Why are the front calipers mounted ahead of the wheel axis? Would not the car have better weight distribution by having the calipers mounted closer to the center of the car?

    Nice color

    Re: New Panamera

    it reminds me of the 7 series.

    Anyway, what are they thinking at porsche?

    I wouldn't be surprised if the cayenne's sale director got in touch with the panamera chief designer. He probably said to the designer that ugly sells so well that he shouldn't try too hard or worry about it. I swear I can hear him say:"As long as it sells and brings tons of cash to the company, we're fine. You know, we don't really give a damn if it's the ugliest car on earth, as long as sale's number reach the cayenne's one."

    Ron,

    According to the accompanying WorldCarFans article, they are planning a Panamera version with the CarreraGT V10 engine tuned to 700HP. Can RC or anyone kindle a rumour on this?

    Re: New Panamera

    U-G-L-Y!

    Re: New Panamera

    ...And WorldCarFans says Porsche and Volkswagen are working on a Panamera Hybrid with a 6-cylinder gasoline/petrol engine with a 60kW electric engine combined.

    Also, they say the camo. is the body of a Bimmer 5-series stationwagon.

    Al,

    RC would be the guy to shed some lights on Panamera.

    Re: New Panamera

    700HP! With a body like that you have to have something to attract people to it.

    Re: New Panamera

    Anyone noticed the three exhaust pipes?!?

    Re: New Panamera

    HAHAHAHAHAHA. Sorry but this thing is very ugly...
    I know what will happen - on 1st of April Porsche would announce that Panamera was just a joke
    At least I hope so!!

    Re: New Panamera

    I really would be staggered if this car had any form of CGT engine ever offered; 1) poor power/torque delivery for a big heavy truck 2) not well suited to an auto trans 3) VERY expensive to make/service 4) they have a better alternative!

    Re: New Panamera

    It is completley pointless to call the car ugly when you haven't even seen the final car. The test mules is heavily diguised and is wearing fake body panels making it impossible to see the over all shape of the car and design cues.

    I agree...they are all fake panels since they look very silly...the front bumper is very clear showing that...

    Well, the Cayenne, Cayman, 997 , 997 Turbo, 997GT3 all pretty much ending up looking like their camo'd test mules suggested , so I'm not hopeful.Most of us were hoping for something sleeker . No amount of camo can change the observed hard points of silhouette, roof shape, windshield angle - hinting at a tallish , fairly Lexus -like bleach bottle shape.

    Re: New Panamera

    When you know that the Chief Designer is an ex-Saab guy... you can call it ugly.

    Let me do it before I really start to doubt the sanity of some of the posters.

    1. this car is a PROTOTYPE, not even a pre-production car, a PROTOTYPE and at the same time HEAVILY camouflaged. The only thing you can expect on the final product is that it is going to be a limousine with four doors, nothing more.

    2. Porsche is driving around in some "normal looking" BMW 5-series with Panamera technology to testdrive the technology under normal driving conditions. So you can imagine how big (or small) the Panamera is going to be.

    3. three engines are expected in the Panamera right now:
    a. a V8 with aprox. 380 HP
    b. a twin-turbo charged V8 with aprox. 480-500 HP
    c. a V10 with aprox. 600 HP.

    There has been also a rumour of a hybrid V8 version.

    So please calm down guys...this ugly duckling on the pictures isn't even close to what the real thing will look alike.

    Re: New Panamera

    Why does it have a luxembourgish licence plate?

    Re: New Panamera

    Im very sceptical about this being nothing more than just a testmule. Porsche has always been very conservative in their design. Why would they put CGT derived lights on there if it wasnt those of the Panamera? they could have just put 911 lights on there or something. All we know liek RC said is that it will be a 4 door sedan! But that said, means that we won't see something out of the world beautiful if Porsche continues to be conservative. I really really hope they go all new on the design, and while still making it seem like a Porsche, it should show a highly modern super Porsche.

    Re: New Panamera

    I agree with Atzporsche- I think the car really will look something like this. Typical ultra conservative, play it safe design.

    The GT3 and Turbo are different becasue they are just 911 models and not completly new cars like the Panamera. the Panamer has fake body panels all over it including on the bonnet to disguise the real shape of the roof, bonnet and rear doors. We are a bit over 2 years away from launch and Porsche doesn't want to give away anything about the deign of the car.
    These panels will probably not be on the test mules rolling on the roads in a couple of months and that's when we will be able to see the true shape and lines of the car.
    Until then, whining and calling the car ugly is as as pointless as beating on a dead dog.
