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 [...]

Speaking of potent sedans, Mercedes-Benz has rolled out a new trailer for its S 63 and S 65 AMG sedans. Both of the cars pack serious gusto, with the “baby” S 63 boasting a 6.3-liter with 518 horsepower and 485 lb-ft of torque. Meanwhile, the S 65 rocks a more potent 6.5-liter V12 packing 604 [...]

Aston Martin has finally let loose a volley of photos of its sleek supersaloon. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I’d take a Rapide over a Panamera any day of the week. No word on when we can expect to see this beauty on the streets, but expect a 6.0-liter V12 with [...]

Right, so these aren’t actually “pictures” — they’re renderings. Meaning really good looking computer images of what Autocar.co.uk thinks the upcoming Rapide supersaloon will look like. They are claiming the above images were “released” early by Astin Martin. Of course, why would Aston Martin release these two computerized drawings to only Autocar? Right, they wouldn’t. [...]

That’s right. Keen-eyed Fiends over at MotorAuthority have pulled down a handful of shots of what looks to be a near-production version of the supersaloon. I’ve got to say this sucker looks a hell of a lot better than the Porsche Panamera. The rear of the Rapide looks a little pinched in my eyes, but [...]

The Porsche Panamera has stolen the supersaloon spotlight recently with its slurry of photos, but Aston Martin’s not one to go unnoticed in a competition. The company just let lose a rendering of the rear of the production Rapide four-door supercar. The hottest thing about the Rapide so far has to be that dramatic rear [...]

That’s what CAR is claiming. The shot you see above is supposedly the first official view of Aston Martin’s supersaloon. The computer-rendered image doesn’t reveal too much, especially with the heavy watermarking, but a few elements stick out. The louvered hood gives the car a little taste of the One-77, and while we doubt the [...]

Yes, well, we covered the Panamera pretty good yesterday. What with a bit of video and some Berkowitzian design analysis. But if you’re like us, you need to start your monrings off right by popping over to Carscoop and having a look/see. Today they posted 28 other  images of the soon to be here Porsche four-door (20 of [...]

The Autofiends theme is “no boring cars.” My personal taste is even more extreme, limiting my enthusiasm about most new cars to the seriously weird or rare (or Italian). That’s why the new Panamera is unenthralling. It’s a very lazy design job, the same way the Cayenne is. I’d argue that both are merely the [...]

Here it is, kids — the Porsche Panamera. After months of camo’d glimpses of Porsche’s supersaloon, we finally get the nitty gritty on the Aston Martin Rapide competitor. The Panamera hits the scales a smidge south of 4,000 lbs, powered by a multiple engine and drivetrain combinations. The base car is expected to see around [...]
