Porsche Panamera

Looks fugly.

And how in the world can anyone say it competes with a CLS if it is priced at 200,000$?

With the official site now live and the introduction drawing close, Porsche seems to have let the security surrounding the Panamera four-door sedan relax a bit. Flickr user Hysterical Bertha caught a nearly undisguised Panamera prowling the streets of San Francisco recently. Apart from some black tape and a bit of chrome tape to change the greenhouse lines, the vehicle in the photos appears to be a production-ready Panamera. The lines are by now familiar to Porschephiles and all of the enthusiasts waiting eagerly, nervously or cynically for the car to debut in Geneva in March 2009.

Current speculation calls for powerplants to be shared with the Cayenne, giving the rear-drive Panamera a choice of 385- or 500-horsepower 4.8 liter V8 engines under the hood.

Thanks Goswami. Looks pretty good actually.

I dont know what all the ugly talk is about. Its different and not ugly different. Forget its a Prosche maybe that will work for you.

ugly is the word, no matter how good it actually is.

mohitd · 22nd October 2008, 16:41

looks like a flattened cayenne from the back.
Uurgh

My god, that is devastatingly ugly. Porsche, please prove me wrong (ha). Nurburgring...get ready to upchuck.

The rear is really ugly. It desperately needs a spoiler. The way the tail lamps and number plate are placed reminds me of some American cars of the early nineties. Otherwise the design is good.

extreme_torque · 23rd October 2008, 17:36

isnt it too long guys... or is it just me! decidely ugly.

Nitronium · 24th October 2008, 09:16

That doesn't look a bit like a 200,000 dollar car. And i think design is ordinary, with the back being the worst bit about it.

The designers tried to do a classic Porsche rear end. But the result is horrific! Front end and side profile look decent though. The Aston Martin Rapide has this one covered in the desirability stakes.

extreme_torque · 24th October 2008, 15:27

Forget Aston... even the Quattroporte has this covered.

Nitronium · 24th October 2008, 16:35

For those who haven't seen a Rapide
And a little extra, to add to things

aniguchisan · 24th October 2008, 17:31

I would have everything in the picture above. Including the ambient lighting.

Ai Carumba!! + 1 aniguchisan!!
