📰 Auto News Porsche Panamera will start at $127,000

[Mook]

what an ugly overpriced piece of shit

When the Panamera arrives next year, it will come bearing two weighty things: a 4.8-liter 520-hp twin turbo V8, and a $197,000 price tag. Beneath that model -- and price -- will be the normally aspirated V8. And to even get into the Panamera party, you'll need $127,000, which will get you a measly 3.6-liter V6, but that doesn't arrive until 2010.

That turbo motor, run through a seven-speed PDK gearbox, will get up to 186 MPH. However, if you want your power a little more electric, then you'll have to hold off for the 300-hp hybrid model coming in 2011. It will pair the V6 with a 100-hp electric motor. And if all of that isn't enough, Porsche is waiting to see how many folks might request the V10 from the Carrera GT, or Audi's monstrous V12 TDI. Of course, you can expect that kind of power to be a load more Geld.

I'm all for company heritage and keeping a theme, but that theme is for mid and rear engined cars. The Cayenne is ugly and so is this overpriced pos.

Porsche's worst kept secret now has a price

LMAO

It is pretty ugly.

While I agree this doesn't stay true to porsche's roots (nor does the cayenne) there have been front engine rear drive cars that were very popular , a la 924,928,944,968..

The cayenne is a marvel in itself and can be had for good price for the performance, the build quality, the name.. but this? Come on, much too expensive. If it were the price of 70-90K, I believe more would look towards it.. Just looks like they took a boxster/cayman, put the motor up front, redid the rear floor, added doors in the back, stretched the roof and called it a day. . . and if that's the case, that's retarded.

At least they didn't go the same route with the Cayenne, they started with a fresh canvas with that.

I love the general shape and look of the FRONT HALF what we've seen thus far with the panamera, but I would never take a second glance due to the price. I like the concept but there's several flaws, and I believe this will be a total flop in porsche's marque.

Back? Ugly.

Front half? Looks pretty okay, minus the plain looking bumper.. I'm sure they'll spruce it up for the turbo model just a bit, though.. but I could be wrong.

Hopefully no one buys it.

ugh. that took me a second. i was like, well that doesnt look so....what the 4 doors?

 

[Poopshinanigans]

I'll hold off my official judgment till i see the press release photos. A 4door 928 this isn't.

 

[johnnyj773]

i love porsches but this...come on porsche i know u can do better than that.

 

[Poopshinanigans]

If this does well say hello to porsche owning VW outright in the next 7yrs. lol
