Porsche Panamera Takes The High Ground PDF News

It will be the fourth model series built in Stuttgart. Die-hard fans just can’t wait till it’s here. And it is now clear, that the Porsche Panamera will hit the market the summer of 2009. Conceived as a four-door grand touring sports car, the Panamera combines the dynamics of a 911 with the comfort of a sedan and, of course, comes with the usual top quality Porsche accoutrements.

On closer scrutiny the kinship with the 911 is immediately evident: the oh so familiar roof and window line. The stretched engine hood on the other hand is new.The face with its lights and air intakes clearly possesses the sports car DNA of Porsche, and at the back, just as typical, short overhangs, a flat roof that tapers off to muscular shoulders.

The dimensions of the Panamera are quite significant: it’s wider than the Cayenne and with an overall length of 497 centimeters it’s also noticeably longer, while standing just 142 centimeters tall it’s flatter than other four-doors of its kind. The Panamera not only possesses a sporty flair, it is a true sports car. It comes standard with rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive is an option – with a fine-tuned chassis it guarantees great roadholding and cornering capacities. The engines round off the package: V engines with six and eight cylinders are designated for the Panamera with an output ranging from 300 to 500 horsepower. There’s also a hybrid planned. Sporty driving for four – that will soon be possible with the Porsche Panamera.
