Porsche Panamera

Worldwide Debut in Spring 2009 ATLANTA

PORSCHE PRESENTS FIRST PHOTOS OF THE

PANAMERA GRAN TURISMO

Three-quarters of a year prior to market launch, Porsche has released the first official photos the new Panamera. Porsche’s unique four-seater was conceived and designed as a four-door grand touring sports car, combining numerous talents in typical Porsche style: sporting driving dynamics, a spacious interior, and the supreme comfort of a Gran Turismo. Joining the 911, Boxster and Cayman sports cars as well as the Cayenne SUV, the Panamera is Porsche’s fourth model series.

Porsche Panamera

The Panamera designers have succeeded in positioning it as a brand-new and truly different model while retaining the looks of a typical Porsche. Through its proportions, the Panamera stands out in its market segment: measuring 76 inches wide and 55.8 inches in height, it is wider and lower than comparable four-door models. The unmistakable GT silhouette is created by the car’s overall length of 196 inches and short, sporting overhangs. In its styling and details, the Panamera follows the design philosophy refined over decades on the 911 and successfully implemented on the Boxster, Cayman and Cayenne. Pure Porsche DNA and comfort for four.

Porsche Panamera
Through its design language, the Panamera establishes a new segment. The symbiosis of sports car DNA derived from the looks of a coupe, the unique interpretation of the classical saloon body and the benefits of a variable space concept give the new Porsche a truly unmistakable appearance.Striking wheel arches and the long and sleek engine compartment, with the distinctly contoured wings flanking the flat front lid, create the typical 911 “landscape” Porsche customers have appreciated for over 45 years. V-shaped seams along the hood and a rear window that tapers like an arrow to the rear also are characteristic of a sports car. Muscular shoulders over the rear wheels, the sweep of the coupe-like roofline and visible tailpipes again bear the thoroughbred Porsche DNA. An elegant roof arch extends over the generous interior.

Porsche Panamera
Thanks to the unique and sporting architecture of the interior, the car’s occupants are able to experience a cockpit-like atmosphere from all four seats. All occupants enjoy supreme comfort in both the front seats and the two contoured rear seats. The luggage compartment easily takes all passengers’ luggage; the Panamera’s variable space concept with folding rear backrests enables driver and passengers to adjust the luggage space to individual requirements. Finally, the coupe tailgate in the sporting rear end combines everyday usability with stylish elegance. Panamera built in Leipzig; powerful engines hail from Zuffenhausen Porsche has developed powerful and up-to-date engines for the Panamera, reflecting the qualities typical of the brand; the V-engines come with six and eight cylinders and output ranges from 300 to 500 horsepower. Some engines use turbocharging technology and Direct Fuel Injection, making them both fuel-efficient and very powerful. Power flows to the wheels through either a manual six- speed gearbox or Porsche’s seven-speed PDK Doppelkupplungsgetriebe, or Double-Clutch Gearbox.

Porsche Panamera
In addition to rear-wheel drive, the top version of the Panamera comes with even more sophisticated all-wheel drive, available on other models as an option. Porsche also is preparing a fuel-efficient version of the Panamera with hybrid drive. Further details on engines, transmissions, performance, prices and equipment will be disclosed next spring.

Porsche Panamera
The Porsche Panamera will be built at Porsche’s Leipzig plant, where a 237,000-square-foot production hall and a logistics center currently are under construction. While the Panamera engines are built at Porsche’s main plant in Zuffenhausen, painted bodyshells will be supplied by Volkswagen’s Hanover plant. The Leipzig plant will then assemble the Panamera for final delivery, with an annual sales target of about 20,000 units. Porsche is once again cooperating with German suppliers, with some 70 percent of the car’s components being created in Germany.

Porsche Panamera

The Panamera will make its world debut in spring 2009 and the first models will be at U.S dealers in the fall of next year. Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (PCNA) is based in Atlanta, Ga., is the exclusive importer of Porsche sports cars and sport utility vehicles for the United States. It is a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, PCNA employs approximately 250 people who provide Porsche vehicles, parts, service, marketing and training for its 202 dealers. The dealers, in turn, provide Porsche owners with best-in-class service. Throughout its 60-year history, Porsche has developed numerous technologies that have advanced vehicle performance, improved safety and spurred environmental innovations within the automotive industry.

Porsche Panamera

The company continues to celebrate its heritage by adding to its long list of motorsports victories dating back to its first 24 Hours of Le Mans class win in 1951. Today, with more than 28,000 victories, Porsche is recognized as the world’s most successful marquee in sports car racing. PCNA, which imports the iconic 911 series, the Boxster and Cayman sports cars and the Cayenne sport utility vehicles for the United States, strives to maintain a standard of excellence, commitment and distinction synonymous with its brand.

Porsche panamera hibrid

Here are pictures of the Cayenne hybrid system:

UPDATE:

Chris Wall, manager of automotive and product information at Porsche, tells us the Panamera hybrid will share the parallel gas-electric drivetrain planned for the Cayenne and Porsche is committed to incorporating the technology into its lineup.

"It's definitely part of our overall plan," he says.

More info and diagrams of the Panamera and Cayenne hybrid systems after the jump.

Porsche and Volkswagen worked together to develop the parallel hybrid system, which VW reportedly is planning to offer in the Touareg as soon as next year. Wall said it will provide 30 percent better fuel economy than the gas-only versions of the Cayenne and Panamera.

"We've reached that goal," he says of the fuel efficiency improvements. Porsche's engineers found that the hybrid system also brought gains in acceleration and torque, but Wall could not provide specifics. The system uses nickel metal hydride batteries; Porsche is investigating other options, Wall says, "but the technology just isn't there yet."

Porsche panamera hibrid

Wall says the Panamera and Cayenne hybrids will feature 3.6 liter V-6 engines producing 290 horsepower and a 38 kilowatt electric motor (not the 34 kilowatts we reported earlier). The engine, electric motor and transmission are controlled by what Porsche calls Hybrid Manager, a system that monitors 20,000 data parameters for optimal power and efficiency.

To further improve fuel economy, the Cayenne hybrid uses electrical power steering, air conditioning and brake vacuum pumps instead of engine-driven components and the six-speed automatic transmission features an electric oil pump. Porsche expects the Cayenne hybrid to deliver 24 mpg and hopes to improve that to 26 mpg.

Porsche panamera hibrid

Wall says Porsche "definitely" plans to produce the Cayenne hybrid by 2010. There's no word on when the Panamera hybrid might appear, and Porsche's been tight-lipped about the Panamera in general since announcing it more than two years ago - so much so that the sketch we've included is the only official rendering of the car Porsche has released.

Porsche is serious about hybrids, Wall says, telling us, "It's a technology that can go hand in hand with Porsche performance. You can have, with this parallel system, savings in city and highway fuel consumption and increases in performance."

Porsche panamera hibrid

So does that mean we'll see hybrid versions of the Boxster, Cayman and 911?

"It's possible, yes," Wall says. "I don't think the technology is there right now, but in the future... Our engineers are always looking to see what technology is available, and in a lot of cases, what technology they can create."Porsche provided this diagram of the Panamera Hybrid system:

Porsche’s all-new four-door coupé – dubbed Panamera - is almost here. Sources inside Porsche indicate the car is currently undergoing an extensive testing marathon all over the world.

Porsche Panamera

Thankfully that means lots of spyshots for us. These pictures were taken by our U.S. based photographers during a routine test in Georgia.The Panamera is expected to officially debut at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show and compete strongly against the Mercedes CLS and the coming-soon Aston Martin Rapide.

Porsche Panamera Blue

Of course being a Porsche, the Panamera shares some design elements with the 911, but essentially this car is significantly different to the rest of the Porsche stable. For a start, this is a front-engined car, something that doesn’t sit that well with Porsche purists (Porsche has moved the engine as far towards the centre as possible).
The Panamera range is expected to include three engine choices, Volkswagen’s 3.5-litre six-cylinder engine which develops a healthy 223kW and Porsche’s own direct-injection eight-cylinder petrol engines, available in naturally-aspirated guise (261kW) and with twin-turbos (417kW).
There is of course the possibility of Porsche doing a special edition Panamera with the GT’s 500kw+ V10 engine.

Porsche Panamera

With four full seats, easy access to the rear and a luggage compartment of around 450 litres, the Panamera is aimed at those with practicality in mind. Porsche plans to attract new buyers to the brand.
The Stuttgart based company believes the Panamera will sell 20,000 units annually upon its release in 2009, which will see Porsche sell over 100,000 cars per year.
