Porsche Panamera - countdown started

[Stratman]

They were using one as a pace/safety car at Rockingham today in the Carrera Cup (ITV4). Very nice looking, sort of a cross between an extended 911 and a 928 with a hint of Bently Continental (the footballers car) from certain angles.

I like it.

But, I like the Cayenne as well, so it's possible my taste in car design is slightly different to everyone elses!

dont like it. too big for the 911 look stylee, and i saw on of the new XKs yestarday - liking it a lot more on appearance.

Made it slighly better but not a lot LOL.:bannana:

Haha.

Well spotted by the way.
Looks chunkier than I thought it would be.

 

[A-AvantGarde]

I quite like it too. It combines qualities I like in a car:

1. Supercar performance
2. Potentially subtle in appearance
3. Four doors and proper back seats
...

Me too! Although having said that I'm one of the few people that really like the Cayenne too. I've always loved 911's, not seen a Panamera on the road yet but something tells me that this will be popular...

Uh, here's a clearer picture of the view that most people will see when they spot the car! :bannana:

A very long time ago, I was lucky enough to ride in a custom 4 door 911 of 1967 Vintage in British Racing Green color while attending a meeting in Los Angeles (actually Orange County, Southern California).... the ride can only be described as "riding on Rails"!

No - it was a '59' plate - ie brand new

[unitfreebie]

YES !!! That's the one... but had California License plates not Texas in LH drive.

Many Thanks for the pix... exactly the same color... I don't know if the car I rode in came from Texas but the lady who I met at the medical seminar and gave me the ride said her husband had it for many years. Maybe there are several of these cars, I don't think it was a factory car. Also I do recall it was featured in the Porsche Panorama Magazine a little while later....

I got it.

Alas however Steve I reckon its a motor for you in about 5years time. Just think of the depreciation, the luxury, and fun to be had on the Dukes pass.

I saw one in the main square in Lucca on Sunday. Hideous i'm afraid.

I did notice how it read, but as it looked almost like that anyway I didn't assume it was a creative pun, more of an observation
