Panamera video
Take this with a grain of salt, but this is supposed to be a video of the upcoming Panamera. Enjoy. Or start screaming about the impurities (Cayenne, etc.) infecting Porsche. Take your pick.

Apparently Porsche AG is not satisfied with a current £2.3 m / day net profit !!
That is ugly. But Herr. Wienersnausel“s market strategy is probably correct again. It will sell most likely. And the odds are it looks better in the metal.

It may very well end up being ugly, but keep in mind that what you saw was a heavily-disguised test mule, with a lot of phony body panels tacked on. Look at the side windows - it is very clear in the video that those are heavily disguised.

It looks very fat to me, and not in a good way.
I think that the verticals in the video are off causing a visual distortion, or at least I pray so. What a fcuking hog. Maserati did it better, but it's that same plump look.

I am a little disappointed as well. It looks a little tall and short. The CLS (possibly its main competitor) has a much sleeker line.
To me Porsche today is not the same manufacuturer of the 911, 917 and 956. It is a GT manufacturer. This is why I will never buy a new 911 from them but I am interested in their other products. I still think they still know how to build a car. And the Panamera will be the dynamic reference for its class. |
