Filed Under Cars, Porsche | Leave a Comment
The Porsche Panamera is a four-seat, four- door luxury vehicle. It awaits its launch in 2009. It is rear wheel drive and front-engined. Its top versions consist of a four-wheel drive.
There are three optional choices for the Panamera’s engine which will be assured at its launch. These include the 4.8 liter V8 with approximately 405 hp (411 PS, 302 Kw) found in Panamera 4S and Panamera S, the turbocharged 4.8 liter V8 with 500 hp (507 PS, 373 Kw) In Panamera Turbo, and the 3.6 liter with 300 hp (304 PS, 224 Kw) in base Panamera found in the facelifted 2008 model of Cayenne.
The marketing of the Porsche Panamera has been calling it as a “luxury sedan”. However, given the vehicle’s wide rear liftgate, hatchback of five doors, and added trunkroom, the term is not technically accurate. The term ‘sedan’ is used by Porsche, since hatchbacks are not so popular, especially in the U.S. The term ‘sedan’ allows the Panamera to have better competition with perfect sedans such as Maserati Quattroporte and Mercedes Benz S-Class.
