The Porsche 928 is Reborn

The German firm is busy developing a luxurious, 2+2 front-engined grand tourer – it’s a spiritual successor to the 928. This ‘new 928’ will be a fifth model line, and is designed to sit above the sportier 911 in the range.

With this new front-engined GT car, Porsche hopes to take on rivals such as the Ferrari 599 GTB, Bentley Continental GT and Aston Martin DB9. And looking at the exclusive picture, we think the Panamera-based coupé could very well stun the competition.

While the nose is virtually identical to the Panamera, its shortened wheelbase and 2+2 layout results in a far more curvy design and smoother lines at the back. While some have criticised the Panamera’s bloated rear, the 928’s muscular haunches and neater proportions should attract a new group of style-conscious customers.

A variety of big V8 engines will be available, set to come with four or rear-wheel drive. Yet in these times where everything that ‘green’ is hot, Porsche is planning to bring the Cayenne SUV hybrid next year, shortly followed by a petrol-electric version of the Panamera. And there’s no doubt that the new 928 will get the hybrid drivetrain too.

The 928 is going to fit nicely into Porsche’s pricing line-up somewhere between the 911 and Panamera. The four-door supersaloon ranges from £70,000-£95,000, while the 911 starts a little lower, at just over £60,000, but stretches to £128,000 for the GT2.
One could expect the 928 to get a pricetag between £65,000 and £90,000 when it goes on sale in 2012.

Porsche has released a new official video of their super saloon, the Porsche Panamera. Enjoy!

Porsche’s press release of the Panamera’s world debut reads:   

Stuttgart. Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, presented the Panamera to the world public today at the 13th Auto Shanghai. Joining the 911, the Cayenne, and the Boxster/Cayman, this new four-door Gran Turismo is Porsche’s fourth model series, with three variants entering the market in Germany on 12 September 2009. The Panamera is making its debut as an eight-cylinder delivering 400 and, respectively, 500 horsepower and with both rear-wheel and all-wheel drive, a six-cylinder gasoline model and a hybrid version following later.

Klaus Berning, Executive Vice-President Sales and Marketing of Porsche AG, expressed a clear view at the world debut of the Panamera: “Introducing the Panamera, we are entering a market segment completely new for our customers and we are once again consistently expanding our model portfolio.”

Through its design and looks alone, the Panamera clearly stands out from the competition at very first sight. Like no other car in its class, it offers a truly unique combination of sporting performance and luxurious comfort. Despite its low and sleek silhouette so typical of Porsche, the Panamera, measuring 4.97 metres (195.7″) in length but only 1.42 metres (55.9″) in height, ensures a generous feeling of space on all four seats.

We found the first video review ever of the Porsche Panamera. You should definitely take a look at this!

This Porsche Panamera was spotted in Freising, Germany, in the night of 31 January. We wonder whether it was just quietly parked outside the test-driver’s house?

It’s official - a number of details on the new Porsche Panamera have finally been released, ending years of speculation and frantic spy activity. The Panamera is a four door coupe and fourth model line for Porsche, following 911, Boxster/ Cayman, and Cayenne. It has clear Porsche DNA in its design, with a typical 911 landscape upfront, wide striking wheel arches, a slanting roofline with a Grand Tourer silhouette and new strongly contoured air intakes instead of a conventional radiator grille.

Engines will be V shaped, with 6 and 8 cylinders ranging from 300bhp to 500bhp, driving either the rear wheels or all four. Naturally aspirated and aspirated (turbo) petrol engines will be used, while a hybrid model should add a different dimension to the range. PDK, the new 7-speed double-clutch gearbox, will feature as an option to those who prefer it over 6-speed manual.

The Panamera’s interior is made for sporting comfort, and like the press release reads “is oriented in every respect to the needs and wishes of the driver”. All four occupants in the 2+2 four door coupe enjoy supreme ergonomic comfort on both the front seats and the two contoured single seats at the rear. The luggage compartment easily takes up all the passengers’ luggage. Expect more info on the engines, and other details to follow during the coming months. - Press Release after the break -
