The name is Panamera, Porsche Panamera. The international car of
mystery will be a combination of a coupe and sedan
There is still some confusion about the exact launch new Porsche -
some say it will be 2008 end, others say 2009. Probably, even
Porsche doesn't know for sure.
The Panamera will be built at the Leipzig factory alongside the
Cayenne, and sources are estimating an annual production of nearly
20,000 units. The sleek rear-wheel-drive four-seater will be
powered by Porsche's 4.5-liter V-8 - either the 340-horsepower
version, or the optional 450-horsepower turbocharged engine. A hot
500-horsepower version may eventually follow. The new chassis may
be shared with Volkswagen in an arrangement similar to the one that
spawned the Cayenne.
