Porsche news aplenty today as PHer Dinkel e mailed me this link showing footage of the Panamera being driven around the streets of Stuttgart.
The finished car is expected to be launched at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show and will instantly become a rival to cars like the Mercedes CLS, the Maserati Quattroporte and maybe even the Aston Martin Rapide- if we ever see it.
Reports suggest the Panamera will be offered with various front mounted engines, starting with a 300bhp V6 rising to the range topping twin-turbo V8 with 500+bhp, all will be rear wheel drive.
