Got some info today from a very reliable source. At launch there will be the following variants - S, 4S and turbo. The 4S is expected to be the most popular and is coming with PDK, PASM and PDCC as standard. Pricing is expected to be just above the level of the respective Cayenne models so Panamera S is slightly above Cayenne S, 4S above the GTS and turbo above the Cayenne turbo. The entry V6 model will not appear for up to 12 months after launch and the range will not be on sale until September 09. The finished car is said to look better in the metal than the pics suggest and the interior is apparently top drawer quality and very impressive. It needs the biggest wheels available as the cars shown on 19" wheels looked seriously under-wheeled apparently. So 21" and above is recommended. The car is also a fair bit wider than a Cayenne I'm told.
Quote: Ron (Houston) said: Interesting info but why 4S ? I thought they all will be all wheel (4wheel drive) as the Cayenne.
Apparently not. Oh, and nearly forgot.... the Panamera badge on the back is said to look awful and the debadge option is a must. I should stress that this is only the opinion of my source.
