the future is here...not sure about the noise though, will have a look at Frankfurt next week.

I really like the front and profile, but the rear is ugly. Very un-porsche in my eyes (if thats a thing). Reminds me of the NSX... Ill hide in the other corner.

I like it but looks more tesla than porsche.

I think it looks fantastic, soooooo much better than the slab sided Pana.

I guess the only problem is going to be the price of the thing! I am not sure you can make a reasonable argument about it saving the owner any money.

But, it is interesting.

Indeed, but think of the resale value for the lucky few hand picked by Porsche through the LOI system

Yep and ANOTHER 500 page thread on here....

What I am interested in is who is going to buy a 3 year old one out of warranty? And even if you do extend the Porsche warranty, will that cover the batteries? They are horrendously expensive!

I was thinking exactly the same thing when the Tesla came out.

I have to keep reminding myself that the Tesla (and these modern day hybrids) are like the first mobile phones to be released and they will only get better and faster as time goes on.

Will be curious to see what the tuning market make of all these electric cars in the future.

Yep, these early cars are a gamble. The battery technology will be out of date quickly, it'll be interesting to see if the value of these early cars dives due to old battery technology or if someone retrofits newer more efficient battery technology going forward.

I like the looks a lot, it's how the Panamera should have looked, IMO. If it really does go ahead .... I'd be in

Walk around video on the BBC website. The interior looks interesting!
