2009 Porsche Panamera Concept Car
Porsche has announced that from 2009 a fourth series, the four-door, four-seater, sports coupé Panamera, will be built at the Leipzig plant. Like the Carrera, the Panamera has got it’s name from the Carrera Panamericana race. Porsche hasn’t yet published any official pictures of the new Panamera concept but we can get a general idea from a drawing made public at the Frankfurt Auto Show.
The Panamera from Porsche is to be officially introduced at the 2009 Geneva show and it seems that Porsche has begun it’s testings on this cool concept car.
Rumors are that the new Porsche Panamera will be powered by a 3.5-liter V6 as its base engine, producing up to 300 horsepower, and other options could be a Porsche-built V8 (bringing about 350 horsepower) and a twin-turbo (providing 560 horsepower). So maybe this future model of a fast and cool car from Porsche is about to become the first V8-engined sports car built by Porsche since 1995. Rumors also say that Porsche will choose for transmission a six-speed manual and an optional six-speed automatic.
It appeares that the purpose is to build a genuine sports car, but which will be fitted for family purposes also, with easy access on the back and with generous luggage compartment.
