NEW Porsche could be on its way - shame its 4door!

[SpeedyGonzales]

Hello all,

Found this on the Top Gear website, so might not be reliable information, but theres a new competitor for the Aston Martin Rapide and the Maserati Quattroporte.

Here are some pictures of it...







Its hardly beautiful!

Thanks

I like it ever so slightly more than i thought i would...

[mmm-five]

Looks like a Z4 Coupe - bigger of course, but similar shape!

I like it quite a lot. I presume they'll do a 2 door with folding front seats too if they ever make it.

Hmm, not sure I like tht or not. It's certainly challenging, which is a good thing IMO, like to seem some more shots and detail, and as with most cars these days I'm sure it will look totally different in the flesh.

(Then I dont think the cayenne is bad at all )

I agree with you on the Cayenne, not sure on this Porsche....

[zaktoo]

It's a dropped & chpped Cayenne. Revolting.

Tasty................. could i get it in black and fit 22 inch aloys with chrome spiners ?

No realy i like it any idea how much

[Catherine197]

Is it a hatchback or saloon?

Looks like the ultimate hot hatch, for presumably what will be the ultimate price.

The above pics are an artists impression of the Panamera due out in 2009/2010. This has already been covered in the following thread:

The car is still being developed so we still don't know exactly what it will look like. It will be a 4/5 door, front engined (probably V8) beast set to rub shoulders with the Quattroporte and the new 4 door Aston Rapide.

I don't really understand the demographic for something like this. If you want a sports car, you buy a sports car. If you want a 4 door saloon then.... although saying that, it won't be long until I'll no longer be able to get my 2 kids in the back of my 997!

I think it looks amazing.

Not 100% on the colour...but in black with a couple of turbos

It could be worse. I mean... the original Panamera design looked horrid. They could also have given it a 12 inch ground clearance like their other family car.

Snag is, from the front corner it could be mistaken for that new Impreza. Don't get one in blue and you should be fine.
