2010 Porsche Panamera leaked pictures

[ThePistonHead]

I'm a tad surprised this hasn't received a mention here yet.

Basically this is Porsche's car for the family.

Rather than bore you with speculative specifications, instead here is the current leaked gallery of the latest addition to the growing luxury sports sedan market.

Translating the Porsche design philosophy over to the Cayenne SUV produced arguable results; however Porsche appears to have been far more successful in adding another two doors to its current coupe range

While the unconfirmed engine line-up includes a range of naturally-aspirated and turbocharged V8 powertrains, one official leaked image also indicates a hybrid rendition is in the works.

Looks very good to me, thoughts?

the front is HOT! no sold on the rear tho

[LOCO XP]

I like it. Much more attractive than the Cayenne. When asked by a colleague what I thought of the Cayenne S parked outside a wholesaler that we touring a few years back, to quote myself "Its F.... Ugly!". Unknown to me the CEO who was guiding the tour owned it, and to make things more awkward, he overheard me. His expression said more than words could express. Had I known, I would have been more subltle in my assessment. I however stand by my thoughts. Impressive stats though

[azaxr8]

looks like a wagon.

[ILLaViTaR]

Looks more like a hatchback than a sedan.

Porsche should stick to 2 door sports cars, not family barges.

I agree with you, the front looks like the Fugly hippo cayene and the back looks like an updated version of the car from Waynes World.

[Fev]

rear ends like a volvo but damn! i'd still buy it! i'd never sit in the back though, headroom looks like it would break my neck as soon as we hit a bump!

[XWGT]

Looks great.......in the spirit of the Maserati and other 4 door GT cars.....

I like the way they have stolen the indents behind the front wheel and through the front door from the Carrera GT

Overall, a winner. Am assuming its the same V8 and Turbo V8 from the Cayenne line up?

Too many doors for a Porsche.

I agree.

Whilst it looks better than the up and coming Lambo option, I still wouldn't buy one. If I needed to cart the family around, then, well, I just wouldn't.

Ditto that

[Spanrz]

You know what's funny, it todays world of EPA ra ra ra, these Porche's can't run ethanol fuels.
Neither can Ferrari's....

Sux to be you.

I suppose though, if you can buy these outright, you have the money for the expensive fuel.

[automaniac]

I would much rather the Aston Martin Rapide which I think is a competitor to this Porsche and that Lambo Estoque

Here's a video of the Porsche Panamera driving if you haven't already seen it.

Pictures have been out for over a year of this car.

There is supposed to be a 2-door in a couple of years based on this platform, as a successor to the 928 (though numbers are out, funny names are in).

[XR6_190]

Porsche should stick to what they know, but if they must make a 4 door GT car, try to give it a design that doesn't look like a melted 911. I really like the AM Rapide, and the Lambo Estoque, Not that my opinion is relavent, It isn't as if I am ever going to get around in one or something.

[S3SR]

geez that aston gave me goose bumbs, its sooo damn sexy

i like the porsche from the front and the back, but corner on its like the two parts were never meant to be

[X000BOSS]

Id Buy One!!

[TZENU]

Would much prefer the Aston over the Porsche...

I like Porsche's idea of a 4 door sedan though... Grab a 911 and stretch it enough to add another couple of doors.

[paule11]

WHy did you post that Aston Martin now I cant make my mind up adn dont know what to buy may have to stick to the xr6

[bathurst77]

When was last ttime Porche designed a good looking car? 911 -928 - 944 is about it

Why do all Porsches look alike these days? The 944 and 928 looked nothing like 911 and they were both beautiful.

911 was designed about 40 years ago and just had a few tweaks ever since.
Boxter and cayman just look like 911. This thing and Cayenne are plug ugly.

I want a job as porsche designer, they got the cushiest job in the world. IF they worked for ford Oz we would stil be driving XKs with square headlights. (hey maybe they contract to ford Argentina)

(Puts possum stirrer back in cupboard)

[FPV8U]

Looks ok.. but why bother with a 4 door sedan Porshe.. 911 or GT2 and thats it.

[jasjul]

IMO, the front looks good, the rear looks good, side on it looks like it's got a full nappy. In that Youtube video, the V8 sounds awesome!!!

[barbarian]

[Peuty]

^^^ Looks wrong.

Give me the Aston anyday.

[Dezza]

I love both the Lambo and the Aston, but the Porsche doesn't impress me. It looks like they've stretched a 911 and put on a bulging **** end similar to the Cayman.

[SM1DY]

Porsche had the right idea, but it just went horribly, HORRIBLY wrong.

[phoenix99]

the aston rapide looks like stretched aston which is stunning but the lambo is bit more unique imo
