Re: Panamera - New shots
Thanks for posting - these are the best shots so far! Still looks a bit fat, I am sure it will look better without any camo - however, as RC's post stated, its not a 5 series or E class competitor but more of a 7 series S class enemy. Thus, the size is going to be a put off for some Porsche drivers me thinks

Re: Panamera - New shots
Thanks for posting.
I now quite like the rear.
The rear wing must be a real piece of technology as they tried to hide it so much.
I suspect it was up on purpose because it doesn't seem the car was going that fast.
Obviously this wing doesn't have any cooling purpose !!!!

Rumors say, that the wing automatically will "expand" depending on the speed.
If you watch the pics carefully you can spot a slot in the middle of the wing panel - obviously there are actually two panels (not only one), which could be able to "expand" sideways depending on the speed. Also the case right below the wing itself seems to be rather big (probably harbouring the electro-mechanical components to perform such a "trick")
I guess this rumor makes some sense if you consider the huge camo wing we have seen on older pics - the camo wing just was that big to cover the expanded real wing.

The positive side to this is perhaps it's a sign that Porsche plans to power it up for stable high-speed runs over 320kph/200mph.

It seem like you're right. The car has an expandable pop-up wing. Very innovative if you ask me, and will provide lots of traction at high speed. Hopefully it can also serve as an air brake.
Porsche are dead serious about performance and the Panamera will most likely not be some disappointing over night sedan just to increase sales.

Re: Panamera - New shots
I just can't work out the rear door. If you look at the car from a side profile (photo #3), one can see that the rear door is smaller than the rear window. In other words, the opening "line" of the rear door goes up into the rear window. It's very strange!
Also - I cant make out if the roof line (behind the rear doors) is still under camo or not.
I'm really enjoying watching the development of this car; independently of it's beauty.
I don't think she's "drop dead gorgeous", but I do think that this look will grow on one ..in the fullness of time.

Re: Panamera - New shots
If you look carefully, you can see that the roof line is not cameoed anymore. That is the way it is. The rear window is slightly extended from the door line, but this is the design.
However, the door panels are still covered. It looks like the doors get a slicker waist line, which is quite interesting. All spyshots show a strange slant before the front door. It seems that the car gets a carrera GT style front slant between wheel and door.
