RE: All-new Porsche Panamera revealed

[VF7]

Love it!!!

I would like them to produce a two door coupe of that!!! A successor to the 928 if you like.
I think Porsche needs a FE-RWD/AWD V8 in their lineup!!

Err people keep mentioning the shooting brake, apart from the stupid name, what's the difference between a shooting brake and this version?

Room for a matched pair, a cocker and Purdey.

Name comes from carriages that carried guns and the gentry to shoots.

But really it's the classic bread van...like the CLA, FF, Z3M, Volvo, Scimitar, Lotus and others. Personally I love them.

So that would imply two doors?

Yes good point - maybe a bread van with 30% extra. or a crossover bread van...

Love it! Incredible car, much want!

Having owned 2 Panameras (4S & Turbo - and yes, the spoiler did do that on the outgoing turbo model!), this is an externally subtle upgrade, but all the small changes impact in a big way.
My Turbo had all the external & internal sport design kit on, which went a fair way to emulating this new model.
I only swapped it as I had the opportunity on a perfect specced GT3.

I can safely say this car will be coming my way - just need to have look under the mattress for some loose change...

Question will be, Turbo or Diesel S ?

would love to drive both back to back.

[MikeGalos]

Wow. It started out really ugly.

Then they did a series of annual tweaks that changed that to still really ugly.

And followed that up with a major redesign that turned it into still really ugly.

I liked the old model even though it was an acquired taste. 4 doors and AWD, what's not to like. The new car is fantastic and I really don't get the, it's ugly comments. Each to their own. That 4.0 Diesel sounds epic. I bet the mid range is every bit as potent as the Turbo. It makes a nice noise in the Audi too.

Well I'd certainly know how I'd spend your money...

Door handles and wing mirrors 😉

Never been so close. If money is no object at all then Turbo but 20k isn't nothing and the Diesels performance is stupendous.

Nice looking car but...
Am I the only one finding the engine bay awful looking ? The "old" 4.8 V8 in the Turbo looked incredible.
And I'm disappointed about the weight, I was expecting a lighter car but no, the Turbo is still at 1995 kg as the "old" one.

[Jam12321]

Don't understand what people see in this car, it is ugly with a serious wiff of old man trying to impress about it.

No journo here as been inside the thing yet is already been decided that it has the best interior in its class? Obviously piano black shiny bits, chrome, some touch screens and a ste looking clock = Luxury and class at the moment....?

Will have a look when they are released to see if it looks better in the metal but i do love how people are frothing at the gash over it! Its barely changed at all!

The previous was a great match with the V6, now finally with a V8 diesel it should be epic. No big saloon pretending to be a sports car, just a massively fast, relatively nible when asked for, but mostly effortless long distance cruise missile with a great range and a deep roar from under the bonnet/speakers

Oh yeah how wierd! This spoiler isnt on the current panamera turbo is it? Perhaps it is?

It is, the turbo spoiler always worked like this. I think it's also on the GTS but not the regular lower models.

Push didn't realise my 4s was so lowly. I NEED that spoiler though !

[Wills2]

I think it looks stunning, but then again so is the price, great 3 model launch line up though no messing around there.

Interior looks superb as well, they really don't know how to make a bad car do they?

[Zumbruk]

Still got a huge and incredibly ugly arse.

108k for a diesel with the must haves, nothing excessive. I'm sure they will sell all they can make. Might have to slum it with the new e63 coupe. I'm not sure it warrants a 20k premium palthough residuals will be a lot better
