Porsche Panamerica to Show up Later in the Year
Amid an uncertain economic outlook, Porsche is still marching forward to introduce the fourth model to its lineup later this year: the 2010 Panamera. This much-anticipated 4-door sports car from Zuffenhausen recently made its public debut at the 2009 Shanghai Motor Show. But before the official unveiling, we were invited to the factory to take a peek at some of the technical innovations that will help the 4-seat Porsche stay true to its sports-car heritage.
When the Panamera goes on sale in the U.S. on October 17, it will come in three variations: the rear-drive S, and the all-wheel-drive 4S and Turbo. The S and 4S will be powered by a direct-injection 4.8-liter V-8 rated at 394 bhp and 369 lb.-ft. of torque. The Turbo model will use a version of that powerplant, but will serve up a healthy 493 bhp and 516 lb.-ft. of torque. The new Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) double-clutch transmission will be standard equipment across all models. Porsche engineers
