Remember awhile back when we showed you all the vintage metal from Stuttgart parading around for a new commercial? Well, it looks like the spot has landed. In it, Porsche officially welcomes the four-door Panamera to the clan. With 917’s 356’s and plenty of 911’s on hand to show the newest addition the ropes, there’s [...]
Bust out the horseshoes, Fiends – Porsche’s throwing a family reunion. Stuttgart gathered 50 legends from the company’s motoring history to welcome the newest addition to the stable – the 2010 Panamera. Our boy Tanner Foust was among the lucky Fiends to be part of the making of Porsche’s celebration and got some seat time [...]
Now this is curious. The pending merger between VW and Porsche has led some thinking-types to believe four-door Porsches aren’t long for this world. According to the boys and girls over at CAR, VW plans to axe the newborn Panamera and the Cayenne SUV at the end of their current product cycle. That should be [...]
Porsche’s turned out some more rolling footage of the portly Panamera, complete with a world-class sound track. Plenty of sprawling countryside and rolling tarmac are on tap. The more I look at this car, the more I’m ok with everything from the rear doors forward. Past that, the design looses me in a big way. [...]
The first examples of Porsche’s four-door should hit dealers in Europe by mid-September, and the company has started production on the cars now to make sure supply meets demand. The supersaloons are being built alongside the Cayenne at the Lepzig plant, though the factory received a 22,000 sq ft expansion to make room for the [...]
Suddenly, this car just got a lot more Fiendish. There’s a gaggle of rumors flying ‘round the Web right now saying Porsche’s putting an eyeball on rolling out a ragtop Panamera. What’s more, the car would still boast all four doors. Now we’re talking. There’s just something completely awesome about four-door convertibles. Of course, the [...]
If you’ve been wondering what sort of slick stuff will find its way under the hood of the Panamera (and who isn’t), wonder no more. Ze Germans have decided to go with fully-synthetic Mobil 1 as the factory-endorsed replacement oil for the 500 horse supersaloon. The 4.8-liter turbo’d V8 beast joins the ranks of over [...]
I. Aftermarket V-Twin maker S&S Cycle purchased the Crane Cams name and 16 of its patents for $1.2 million. The rest of Crane Cams’ inventory went to the same company for $215k. Crane’s factory in Daytona will stay shuttered even though the company has been purchased, which leaves the 280 people left jobless when the [...]
The suits at Porsche must be paying attention to the army of all-electric 911s that have popped up in recent years. The company recently made mention that a V6 and a hybrid version of the already-blasphemous Panamera might be a part of the car’s future. I’ve recently had my eyes opened on the benefits of [...]
Now there’s a front engined platform in the mix with the Panamera and given Porsche’s penchant for parts sharing, how long before the legendary 928 is resurrected? Well apparently Porsche’s design chief, Michael Maur, is investigating the possibility. There’s certainly a hole in the Porsche range for a new 928 to go up against the likes [...]
