A Family Car With a Little Fire

Photobucket

Autoblog released official images of Porsche’s highly anticipated Panamera, the marque’s first four door car (not counting the Cayenne SUV). The vehicle is described as a four door grand touring(GT) sports car rather than a coupe or sedan. The Panamera will feature Porsche’s newly developed PDK dual clutch transmission which makes shifting much more comfortable.

The production of the Panamera is to start next spring for a summer on-sale date, and the car is expected to be priced at around $175,000. SAY WHAT! The car will come in range of V6 and V8 engines that will likely mirror the Cayenne lineup. The engines will run from a paltry 300 horsepower up to the 500-hp unit from the Cayenne Turbo. Several models will be made available including the Turbo edition at the top, along with a hybrid version sometime in 2010-11.

Check out the FULL POST for more images.
