Porsche has released a teaser image of the upcoming four door Porsche Panamera GT cruiser. It doesn’t reveal much except a side profile of the front of the car.
I think we’ve pretty much expected the front end of the car to look like this already given how Porsche is “committed” to its traditional design cues. We also see some nice double 5 spoke wheels and big brakes with a red caliper hiding behind it.
More teasers will be unveiled by Porsche soon, leading up to the Panamera’s official unveiling.

September 16, 2008 @ 10:03 am
I can hardly dream driving it
September 16, 2008 @ 10:38 am
I can hardly be excited, this is gona be another Cayenne. Ugly, but will make Porsche rich.

even nissan, honda, toyota, bmw, mercedes dont have a car that even remotely looks like a porsche or ferrari.. you could of course also argue that the toyota mrs looks like a boxster from some angles.. but it just aint the same.
September 16, 2008 @ 12:09 pm
i already said as long as got the look the interior is not the issue… everyone will look on ur car exterior… inside one we can change ourself… except for engine… but by then on the road all the car will be sport car from proton or perodua… haha…

this is no cayenne, which is an SUV. even from the sneak peek shots, you can already see that this car rides real low.. this is a merc CLS challenger, or maybe even challenging the maserati quattroporte.
People buy porsches, because they’re still the best everyday supercar/sports car there is in the market. you make it sound as if thousands of people buy porsches coz they’re either blind or stupid just to make porsche rich. The fact is, they have a great heritage, and a great product, and people cant get enough of them, and keep on buying.
Porsche deserves all the money they can get for knowing their customers and delivering.
September 16, 2008 @ 12:27 pm
i would agree with BanyakMasukWorkshop because Porsche has proven that out of all the supercar makers out there, they are the most reliable one that can be driven daily as a commuter. german technology is one of the best in europe and i would say that porsche is at the forefront of many new developments.
i also hope that the rumours of an entry level porsche below the boxster come true. miss the 924/944 range.
on the panamera, i sure hope the butt is not butt ugly as the camoflaged pictures show.
September 16, 2008 @ 12:27 pm
Yup “Porsche deserves all the money they can get for knowing their customers and delivering.”
“Proton deserves all the money they can get for knowing that the G will continue the AP policy and delivering pathetic cars”.
That’s how we differentiate!!

a kit car could satisfy that end of the market.. sports car look that dont break the bank, but arent super high hp also.. i used to lust over a diy kitcar that requires an old VW beetle as a donor car, and the kit transform the car to look like a 1950’s porsche roadster convertible. but unfortunately, jpj dont recognise kit cars, and we cant get them registered for road use in malaysia.
September 16, 2008 @ 12:40 pm
I’d skip that and wait for the Rapide, but it’s still worth waiting for the Panamera.

Dude i know lah! I referred to Cayenne becos Im saying, this Panamera is not going to be very beautiful, just like a 997 with 4 doors and it’ll look like any other Porsches, but that like Cayenne, it will still sell very very well.
This car will be an ego-booster. Having said that, I loooove Porsches ; )
September 16, 2008 @ 2:18 pm
I can hardly breathe…tarik~napas~
September 16, 2008 @ 3:38 pm
…. if you want a sport car to drive around 24/7, get a Porsche. For show-off and weekend car, than a Ferrari.
However if you can’t affort the routine service maintanence cost and spare parts. Do avoid … .

with so many postings on proton today in paul’s blog, you should wait for the next one to post your “hate mail” rather than post here, which has nothing to do with proton..
i dont now which is more pathetic..
September 16, 2008 @ 4:35 pm
It’s not called ‘hate mail’; one should word it as ‘constructive opinion/sarcarsm’. Afterall, was i not telling the truth?
September 16, 2008 @ 6:01 pm
I don’t really like porche’s. Just give the back end already.
September 16, 2008 @ 7:57 pm
err… who say Porsche are reliable ?
i don think that would be appropriate…
they are not reliable , they’re just user friendly.
which means its good for daily use compare to other sport scar with abit of supercar thrill.
Porsche is never a supercar.
its a benchmark for sport scar ONLY.
i personally don’t really like Porsche , too much of an engineer car then a car built with passion.
this is one thing that Porsche will never built since their cars drive so well now…
September 17, 2008 @ 8:55 am
its disappointing, looks like a ford mondeo hatchback, but worse
September 17, 2008 @ 9:26 am
i like porsche! but thats depends on my current situation..as a student today, i might say i like it because to me it still a sports car..very fast..beautiful..doesnt care whether if its reliable or not..but if in future i become a successful person and can afford a sports car..the view might change.*still f355&f360 is my fav.
September 17, 2008 @ 4:54 pm
hopefully the overall design is nice
September 19, 2008 @ 5:16 pm
the jaguar xf looks way better
September 20, 2008 @ 8:20 am
i bet u guyz…porsche hardly sell dis model in certain rich city coz they gt competition frm aston martin…e.g in melb or sydney…which many of them own astons rather than porsche..u can see lotsa aston everyday,anywhere…bt in malaysia..i think many of typical rich ppl will buy this over the aston martin…coz of the establish brand like bimmer n merc…

raybrig,
check out the world wide sales figures. while porsche’s 911 turbo is now considered to be only on the fringe of the supercar league, it is still the biggest seller of sports cars and also perhaps the world’s most profitable auto company. anyway, if you wanna bet, you’re on!
