Captured recently in Northern Sweden, the full range of Porsche's fourth model was spied in one location. Expected for debut in Geneva next year, the Panamera faces strong competitors such as the Mercedes CLS and Aston Martin Rapide. These are the first pictures showing all three models of the Panamera range: the “standard” Panamera with two pairs of rectangular exhaust pipes, the Panamera S featuring two round pipes on each side, and the Panamera Turbo equipped with tailpipes similar to those of the “standard” car but featuring taller air-intakes at the front and sportier split 5-spoke wheels with large cross-drilled brake disks.

The entry-level engine for the “standard” Panamera will be Volkswagen’s 3.5-litre six-cylinder unit developing 300 bhp, while Porsche’s own drivetrain will be a direct-injection eight-cylinder petrol engine, available in naturally-aspirated guise (350 bhp) for the “S” and with twin-turbo (560 bhp). Shortly after its debut in 2009 the Panamera Hybrid will be introduced.

 

hidea was hideous, still hideous ( i really needed an excuse to use this smiley)

 

Might grow on me like how the Cayenne did, 560hp and on a porsche saloon with twin turbo's this thing is going to kick some serious sports cars but I really doubt that it will be under say 2,000kg.

 

I would put this in between "Bangle Ugly" and "Condoliza Rice Ugly"

 

I love Porsche's but this is definitely not going to grow on me. The 4 door Aston Martin Rapide is SOO much better looking.

Please Porsche, I'm begging you not to go through with it. <- I also wanted an excuse to use this guy...

 

I think it could be a cool Idea. But if this is what they came up with...they failed.

 

I'll keep my opinion until I see it at the Geneva exhibition, I really hope it looks better than this SUVlooking ricey porsche mule...

 

 

can't wait for it to be released!

 

actually looks alright with the 19s
