For as many know, Porche is the engineering partner of Volkswagen. For of their department, so goes the break through of many technical break troughs only possible.
As a personal noten: Some years past whilst working in Canada, I was of purchase of a VW 911 designed and built by the Porsche department of Volkswagen. It was powered with a Porsche 914 motor, some what different of styling, and with only of an automatikgetrebe {transmission}, it would simply just go! Loved it, it was ugly but efficient with a petrol cabin heater, it was the answer for the Saskatchewan winter driving....

Porsche creates a model for the entire family

Porsche has unveiled its new model: The Panamera is a car the entire family can enjoy. While the latest Porsche model has four doors instead of the traditional two, the Panamera is still built in the sporty coupe style, has the Porsche fender, and the V engine can also still pack the traditional punch.
To drive a Porsche and still be able to transport large amounts of luggage will be a reality as of summer 2009, and not just with the bulky Cayenne four-wheel-drive model.
Electric cars shine at Paris auto show Porsche has developed a new model, called Panamera: it is only 1.418 meters tall and is 4.970 meters long and has four doors, while still modelled in the form of a true coupe. Four passengers can sit comfortably in the car, with the backseat even offering enough legroom for the slightly taller person.
The backseat of the Panamera can also be folded down to make more use of an already spacious trunk.
The Panamera is a Gran Tourismo (GT) vehicle that similar to the styles of a Maserati Quattroporte or the Mercedes CLS, is a coupe; yet through its four doors gains more usefulness than a traditional two-seater coupe.

However, it wouldn’t be a Porsche without it having the sportiest alternative under the hood: A V engine works with a choice of either six or eight cylinders to produce either 300 or 500 horsepower, respectively. There is also an option of getting the Panamera with the traditional rear drive or with an all-wheel-drive. Running the engine is particularly economical through a direct gasoline injection.
Porsche reportedly intends to sell 20,000 models a year of the Panamera – the fifth Porsche model in production after the 911, Boxster, Cayman and Cayenne.
Porsche is also currently working on a hybrid Panamera model. How much the Panamera will cost has not been announced.
