Porsche Panamera Spied in Spain
Clearest photos yet
Finally one of our spy photographers was able to get up close and somewhat personal with the upcoming 4-dour coupe by Porsche, the Porsche Panamera. At last we can bring you with some new details about the much anticipated car.
The caught prototype is far less camouflaged than any of the earlier test cars and clearly shows the front air intakes (photo 4: close up shot of blue Panamera). From these new photos a computer generated image was created which might just be a close resemblance to the final product.

But the big photo is rendered... someone even signed it...
it's still unknown !! we need more time to judge ..
Look at the right exhaust pipe closely, right under the shadow of the car you can see a signature... the shadow looks also very artificial
Aston Martins are ugly, if you think of it as an overprized car, which is in all variants slower than a 911.
Pudgy, pompous and pathetic. The spy photos can't hide this boat's big belly.
Porsche completely GAVE UP on vehicle design after the 1987 Stock Market crash, which nearly wiped them out as well. No more 944 or 928. Just crank out overpriced, hideously interiored 911s to the old fart crowd.
Well, the competition has caught up. Corvette Z06s overpower the 911 Turbo, Range Rover Sports outclass the Cayenne and the R8 out"looks" the 911.
Porsche's dinosaur styling combined with predatory price gouging will force their management to dial "9-1-1"!
Yeah but if we're talking four door luxury, Aston Martin is far more appealing than porsche.
I will be leaving porsche and getting an Aston Martin
after Butzi had gone Porsche now lacks the edge in terms of body design.
the 1st pic is from GS450, check this: http://www.worldcarfans.com/2060501.003/photo1/new-lexus-gs-450h-launches-in-uk
Yes, this is a computer rendered image based off of spy photos. Porsche technical wizardry far out paces the like of many other "exotic" marques i.e. Ferrari or Aston Martin which relay on large V12 units to produce big horsepower. Porsche engineering extract more usable performance and ergonomic design at a fraction of the Aston. Porsche sales and profits have skyrocketed since the advent of the Boxster and the streamlined production processes. Imagine, Porsche is now in the position of acquiring their behemoth cousin---Volkwagen. Kudos to Dr. Wendelin Wiedeking!
Geil!
