Patent Images Reveal Panamera Convertible?

Friday, March 12, 2010

Patent filings are proving to be a good source of information today, with a General Motors filing potentially showing the look of the next-generation Malibu and now a Porsche filing that points to a Panamera Convertible. Last year, we reported that a convertible version of the Panamera was coming, as a way for Porsche to reduce [...]

A New Porsche 928, Rendered

One of the most persistent rumors lately has been the introduction of a new Porsche 928. When the original car came out it was thought that one day it could replace the venerable 911. Obviously, that didn’t work out quite like Porsche anticipated. Porsche has expanded quite a bit since then, introducing the Panamera, whose platform [...]

We look forward to the videos released by manufacturers for the action that most of them have. Or at least, seeing something that hasn’t come out before. The Porsche Panamera V-6 is new, so Porsche released a video of it. Got to hand it to them – besides a walk around (like Audi and Infiniti), this [...]

Delays Result in Free Luggage for 200 Panamera Owners

While derided by critics, the Porsche Panamera has been doing quite well for itself in the only baromoter that really counts – sales. It was reported recently that strong customer response for the Panamera has resulted in over 968 firm orders for the car. Could it prove to be that yet another critically-derided car has gone [...]

Porsche To Share It’s Platforms

There has been continued reports about the VW-Porsche saga in the automotive press – about the percentage of the stake, the process of VW making the purchase and the like. To me though, from the very moment Porsche’s longtime chief Wendeling Wiedeking left the company it was clear to me Porsche was on it’s way to [...]

Like the Cayenne that came before it (but perhaps to a lesser degree) the Porsche Panamera has met a lot of controversy from Porsche purists. There’s no denying the proposition of a four-door Porsche making sense to many. Who wouldn’t want to carry around four passengers in comfort at crazy speeds? To me the problem has [...]

Panamera Gets Tuned: Gemballa Mistrale

That was fast! Porsche’s newest addition to the lineup, the 4-door Panamera, was just recently introduced for our markets. Widely panned for it’s styling, it was only a matter of time before someone tried to make it better but I got to give Gemballa credit for a quick launch of the Mistrale. The question is [...]

I Predict! The Future Of The Porsche Panamera

A long long time ago, in a galaxy far away, called the 1980s, I remember a cover of Car & Driver Magazine that had a retouched version of a Porsche 911, stretched to have four doors. The headline stated flatly: “What Ferrari Fears To Do” or some such. Essentially that was a jab that everyone, [...]

Porsche has big plans for the Panamera. Over the next few years it is expected to be an engine of growth for the brand. Reviews for the car have begun to appear and most of the impressions are good. I’m very much looking forward to seeing the Panamera in person. Will it look any better? Cars [...]

Porsche Says No (For Now) To Fifth Model

Until the recent attempt to take over Volkswagen began to hit snags, Porsche was on a rampage. Last year was a record one for Porsche, with 98,652 Porsches sold across the globe. That’s with three model lines, the Cayenne, Boxster/Cayman and 911. The Panamera is Porsche’s fourth model line, and is joining the others this year. Many different possibilities have been floated as to what Porsche’s fifth [...]
