Default Panamera on Cover of Autoweek

Nice article on the Panamera 4-door and hints at a 928 like coupe version.

Yep - there is a thread on it in OT. Or you can go to www.autoweek.com and get all worked up about another set of guesses.

The artist renditions are nice... the spy pics are aweful though. I donno about this one. I hope it's not a lemon.

I found this one a few years ago...not quite the Panamera but an idea.


Kind of got an Audi TT rear end on it, doesn't it?

That is some SERIOUS venting for the brakes and engine comparment!

I wouldn't count on the car actually looking like that. By the time the car hits the market, Porsche (and the world) will be so over the BoxsterCayman996 look that it will jut be a bad memory of how NOT to design a front end.

From what I've seen, it doesn't look like a 928 at all, it looks like a 911 version that has been stretched. Thank god they didn't tarnish the 928 with a 4 door version for mass production!

Maybe it will be stunning when all of the wrap comes off, but jusdging by what I can see, there is no way I would buy one of those. Not to say I wouldn't test drive it...
