In the 2/07 issue of CAR magazine, a 4 door built on the 911 frame, but spacious interior, and Cayenne-derived motor. Available first as a 300 hp V6, then as a hybrid, then as a powerful V8.

Same issue had new BMW M3, and new Lambo.

Probably old news, but some interesting reading and photos.

Hmmn, the long awaited VAG/PAG Hybrid......
I'll bet that has kept some electrical engineering types up late more than few nights.
No, it's not built on a 911 frame (911's don't have frames), although there are some test mules using '911'....actually 996/997 unibodies for testing.
Yes, it will use a derivative of the Cayenne motor family, most likely in a transaxle, ala 968 (for weight distribution).
Yes, it will share a LOT of components with existing (or soon to be released....hello Geneva Auto Show) components.......reuse is the buzzword at PAG these days.

I think I'll pass, I've seen enough.

What, you don't want an Alpha version

I'm with ltc....... too many new things being attempted in the variant.. it will be better than the Cayenne launch..but still, no alpha/beta for me.

When I said "I've seen enough", it's because I've seen enough of the Panamera.....everyone else will have to wait I suppose.

Gee, I wonder if it will have a Bose radio??????????

ltc

They have Bose audio in these things? Huh........
