Panamera Might Get Targa Top and Diesel Variant

Date July 22, 2008

It sounds like Porsche is already looking at additional Panamera variants, even though it isn’t showing up until 2010. An AutoWeek source attended a Porsche focus group and reported Porsche showed renderings of a three-panel targa roof on a Panamera, which would add additional models to the lineup. Also, in addition to the Panamera hybrid, [...]

Porsche Denies Rumors of Baby Cayenne and 928 Successor

Date June 2, 2008

Porsche has denied that they are working on a smaller Cayenne (dubbed the “Roxster” by the press) even though spy shots recently surfaced of a smaller SUV testing on the ‘ring.

I think this is the first officially released image of the Panamera from Porsche, so take a good look at the image and see how it compares [...]

Spy Shots: That Back Seat is Small!

Date January 3, 2008

Auto Motor und Sport published some new spy shots of the Panamera undergoing testing in Nigeria, including this picture showing what looks like a very cramped rear seat. Seriously? In a car that (to my eye) looks pretty large, that’s all the room there is in the back seat? I guess they are more useful [...]

Top Gear Thinks the Panamera Will Look Like This

Date October 24, 2007

Top Gear magazine commissioned an artist to create these renderings of what they believe the Panamera will look like when it drops in 2009. They certainly do look better than the spy shots we’ve seen so far, but that rear end is very Boxster/Cayman-like, and I find it hard to believe that Porsche would style [...]
