Porsche has finally released the “baseline” model of the Panamera – the Panamera and the Panamera 4. Up until now the Panamera has only been available with normally aspirated or turbocharged versions of its V8 engine.
The new Panamera variant is powered by a 3.6 litre V6 engine with direct fuel injection, producing 300 horsepower and a very impressive 400Nm of torque. That’s about 111Nm per litre of displacement, while a lot of other engines barely touch 100Nm per litre. Normally you only get 400Nm from well-tuned 4.0 litre engines.
The V6 engine will be mated to Porsche’s PDK gearbox and will also include Auto Start/Stop, allowing 30.4mpg for the Panamera and 29.4mpg for the four wheel drive Panamera 4. Both models are EU5 emissions compliant.
The introduction of this new V6-engined Panamera and Panamera 4 in Malaysia should lower the cost bar for entering the realm of Panamera ownership, and the 3.6 litre engine will enjoy significantly lower road tax too.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
beautiful interior but ugly exterior
tats quite an awesome mpg…
under RM800K mark price tag?
ok ma…
beautiful interior, beautiful exterior.
i wonder if adding a rear spoiler can make this car look more beautiful and sporty…it's a nice looking car
Huh, no 6-speed manual transmission?
Btw, such torque can be achieved thru increasing the cyclinders of the engine. If say 4 cyclinder then it's really impossible (unless you add turbo).
Its a very sporty car and it's extremely huge, the photos just make it look smaller
ugly car…overprice. aston rapide so much nicer.
seen it in the metal before, ugly, the aston rapide beats its looks by a lot.
but then the price also more expensive.
mcm Kia Rio pon ade
syahman, gimme 5 !!!
where is the price paul?
a good alternative to the Merc-Benz CLS 350……. more or less same for the road-tax….. the name Porsche and its dynamics will be the main reason to buy one… over the much better looking Merc-Benz….. ;) But just dont forget the Jaguar XF 3.0 as well…… haaaa… temptation……
Cool
in terms of name,how to differentiate panamera v6 and v8? both are called panamera arent they?
fuel consumption is improve….when its arrive in msia i think the price will still more 500k ….
beautiful exteriori but ugly nterior
syahman,
the panamera looks much better live. it is not photogenic. you should take a look at it in the showroom, you'll be surprised how good it looks in the flesh!! :)
i'm not saying that it's an ugly car..design look nice..but i'm not going to buy one(if i can afford la). it's like how i look at lamborghini..nice but i prefer ferrari. this kind of sedan, i id buy 7series or merc.
I saw a Panamera Turbo on the road in KL recently. Its quite huge, dwarfing many other cars on the road. Its unique design allows it to stand out from all other luxury executive car.
The new V6 should make this car a common sight in KL if priced right.
The actual car is big & fat!!!
No matter is beutiful or not, >90% people in this world may not afford to buy it..
It wouldn't be a Porsche if it wasn't ugly :) Looks aside it's a fabulous piece of machinery. Interior is exquisite. I've sat in it.
hello, i just came back from prague and its heaven for car fans….you can see all kinds of cars there!!!!!!! , and i saw a black panamera 4 , the pictures dont do it justice, it looks very2 modern and very2 fresh from the rear
GALLARADO SHOULD
Gallarado should follow this Porsche.
my fave is and will always be the Maserati Quattroporte
Saw one last weekend. Definitely looks better live than in the pictures. It is bigger as well.
All these boutique brand Porsches ,Lotus or Maseratis & the like shd keep to their sport car concept rather than moving into the sedan domain. In most cases the design turn out to be fricky ,ugly & distorted. Being fast & powerful cars, just wondering what kind of passengers who are stupid enough to tag along in the back seats and watch in despair the entics of the showy & proud driver. I don't think their in-laws wld be impressed either . My 2 sens opinion ..loh..
I saw 1 Panamera yesterday at the higway from Perak to KL
(WAJ 13) nice plate no (WAJIB) :)
The Maserati stands out, so does Bentley, and Rapide and this Panamera, but not Merc or BMW. Not even Jag. For the same price as an S-Class, I'll take Panamera. Wouldn't you?
i just checked panamera turbo S at porsche glenmarie…. the price is 1.4M without ins and roadtax…
everything are damn nice…

yes, maybe u r rite but sometimes u need to look in different way. That is a dream car and 'a dream' is something that are really subjective to describe by every people.
soccer for example…. we can say the whole team are crazy, satu bola rebut ramai-ramai… but who love soccer and understand the meaning of sport, they know why satu bola rebut ramai-ramai.
