And why does Porsche hope to use the Panamera platform for other cars?.."Lamborgini, Bentley, & Bugatti." slam dunk !

as was said before, the audi R10 is dominating, but so did the R8 last year. however keep in mind, they gave the R10 50 more hp to reach a much higher level, 650hp, compared to last season's near 600hp. the porshe is so fast now, and as was said, its a P2 car!! Kind of like comparing GTS vs GT or now, GT1 vs GT2.

why porsche wanted to dominate a obscure class like P2, only Kim Crumb can answer. For me, and for most of you , it seems, P2 porsches are close but not quite as fast as the R10 diesels. they are stealing the show with their diesel, high torque, marketing! in actuality, its a cool new racer, that is more fuel efficient, heavier and has more power! Big whooop! it will wont be on a racer near you for 10 more years i imagine!
