The Porsche Panamera is a four door luxury sedan that is also exceptional fast. It was introduced in 2009, and it is the first four door model by Porsche. The design was created due to demand from consumers who felt that a two door vehicle didn’t offer them enough space for their needs. The concept was developed in the 1980s but never was put into production until much later.
Not all fans are happy with it though, some die hard Porsche fans feel like this concept takes away from the original ideas of the Porsche. Two new versions of the Porsche Panamera were introduced in 2013. They include a diesel version and a hybrid. Both of them, along with the original, are selling beyond projections even though this vehicle is steeply priced.
There are three different engine options for the Porsche Panamera that consumers can pick from. They include the V6, the V8, and the V8 turbo. Consumers like the ability that they are able to pick the amount of power that they would like to have with their purchase. The transmission package upgrades also allow for faster shifting, and that allows for faster acceleration.
The Panamera Turbo S is the most powerful Porsche available right now. This is due to the high pressure fuel injectors and pistons made from aluminum alloy. There is low friction due to the piston rings being coated. It can reach 62 mph in about 3.2 seconds. One of the best selling models is the Panamera Platinum Edition that was introduced in 2012.
