  • 2017 Porsche Panamera, Technical Backgrounder, July 2016

    The 2017 Porsche Panamera Turbo may not hit the streets until next January, but we've already had the opportunity to go for a spin. And what a spin it was! Porsche gave journalists rides at the Lausitzring (also called Eurospeedway Lausitz) road course near Dresden, Germany. Much like the infield course at Daytona International Speedway, the Lausitzring offers high-speed banked corners, long straights, and some tight switchbacks, all of which really test the handling, braking, and acceleration capabilities of the cars that brave it. I had the opportunity to take several test rides with...

    Porsche breaks 'Ring record with new Panamera

    Although the new Porsche Panamera was just shown barely 48 hours ago, the German sports car manufacturer already has bragging rights over any other sedan on the planet. That's because the flagship Panamera Turbo has turned the fastest lap ever recorded for a production sedan at Germany's famed...

    918-inspired, 700-hp Porsche Panamera on the way?

    Porsche's all-new Panamera made a big splash yesterday with a new 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 rated at 550 horsepower headlining the changes to what looks to be a more stylish take on a four-door Porsche. Yet Motor Trend, who was in Germany for the Panamera's debut, says that there's more to come...

  • 2017 Porsche Panamera

    Porsche has released information on the second-generation of its flagship sedan (it's actually a hatchback), and the 2017 Porsche Panamera is a better looking car than the first generation. The new Panamera is an evolution of the last car, not a revolution, but the lumpy look of the roof--there to provide plenty of headroom--is smoothed out and sleeker. The car rides on a new modular platform known as the MSB, and while the proportions grow for 2017, the car looks lower. Length is up by 1.3 inches to 198.8 inches, wheelbase grows 1.2 inches to 116.1 inches, and width and height both increase...

    Porsche is almost at the end of development of its second-generation Panamera and the latest prototypes we've spotted are wearing barely any camouflage gear. The new Panamera is expected on the market near the end of the year, most likely as a 2017 model, and this time there will be a new wagon variant in addition to the sedan. We're also expecting a new generation of the long-wheelbase Panamera Executive at some point. Our photographer tells us that the new Panamera is slightly longer than the current one, and from previous test mules we know its track is slightly wider, too. In some of the...

  • Porsche Mission E concept, 2015 Frankfurt Auto Show
    Is Porsche’s Mission E actually a preview of a modern 928?

    Late last decade, there were plenty of rumors about Porsche launching a modern 928 based on the Panamera platform. The car was to be a proper 2+2 grand tourer and mechanically identical to the Panamera to help save on costs, making it essentially a Panamera coupe. However, the rumors were quickly...

    2014 Porsche Panamera: Best Car To Buy 2014 Nominee

    It’s cliche to call the Panamera a four-door 911, but in truth, that’s the most accurate one-liner to peg the car’s nature. Pushed hard, very few other sport sedans really keep up—or prove so willing to run hard. Left to the casual cruising even a 911 is more likely to do...

    Porsche Panamera Diesel Gets Power Boost

    Porsche’s 2014 Panamera has a wide variety of powertrain options for what is arguably a niche model, ranging from gas and diesel V-6s to plug-in hybrid and high-performance twin-turbo V-8 setups. Today the focus is on the Panamera Diesel variant, whose turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 is completely...

    2014 Porsche Panamera S, 4S, & S E-Hybrid first drive review

    Time travel is, perhaps unexpectedly, enlightening. Reading of the conditions and actors of the past provides only a dusty image, rendered in grayscale; dunking oneself fully in the scene teaches lessons that cannot otherwise be learned. Thus I recount for you my recent sojourn to the early 21st...

    Porsche is going hybrid—with plug-in hybrid versions of all its major models, eventually. And yes, that means not just the upcoming 918 Spyder and the 2014 Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid, but also upcoming versions of the Cayenne, and even the 'sacred' mid- or rear-engine sports cars—the...
