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 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...

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.

2014 Porsche Panamera: Best Car To Buy 2014 NomineeIt’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...
