Porsche Panamera

The evolution of long-distance convenience In 2009 an idea took shape, that had come up several times in the history of the Porsche company - the idea of a powerful four-door touring sedan with sporty genes. The prototype 989 almost got there in 1988, but for strategic reasons Porsche did not start batch production. It should take more than twenty years until the vision transformed into reality - with the Porsche Panamera. The design of this fourth series is similar to the Porsche Cayenne? That's no coincidence. The Cayenne was the first serial Porsche with more than two doors and it paved the way for the layout with a water-cooled front engine and rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. The Panamera supplemented this features with a super sporty handling, that put it close to the 911, and with a luxurious interior, that made it a rolling business lounge. The second generation from 2016 refined the product in every respect and added to the range of engines through progressive hybrid technology.
