  • Porsche Panamera 2nd Generation

    The Panamera now has a range of turbocharged engines, and every model is available with all-wheel drive and an eight-speed dual clutch gearbox. The Panamera 4S gets a biturbo 2.9-liter V6 with 434 horsepower (324 kilowatts) and 406 pound-feet of torque (550 Newton-meters). When buyers spec it with the Sport Chrono Package, the four-door hustles to 62 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour) in just 4.2 seconds. Porsche is always happy to offer customers more performance, the Panamera Turbo now has a biturbo 4.0-liter V8 with 542 hp (404 kW) and 568 lb-ft (770 Nm). The quicker model can sprint to 62 in as little as 3.6 seconds. Finally, the Panamera 4S Diesel gets a biturbo V8 with 416 hp (324 kW) and a gargantuan 627 lb-ft (850 Nm). With the ability to reach 62 in 4.3 seconds with the Sport Chrono option, the sedan can move, too.

    Beyond the updated powertrains, customers have a plethora of options available to keep the Panamera on the road when they push the big sedan. The adaptive air suspension now uses a three-chamber design, and buyers can order rear-axle steering, like on the 911. The company is also introducing the new InnoDrive system, which combines navigation data, radar, and video. Porsche claims the tech can calculate the perfect throttle inputs and gear selections for the three kilometers (1.9 miles) of road ahead.

    Like we saw in the leaked photos, the new Panamera has a sleeker evolution of the previous design. Where the last generation could look bulbous from some angles, the new one looks more like a stretched 911. The sedan's overall size grows slightly, including 30 millimeters (1.2 inches) more wheelbase and an extra 34 mm (1.3 in) of overall length.

    Inside, Porsche simplifies the cabin by going high tech. Two, seven-inch digital displays flank the analog tachometer in the instrument cluster. There's also a 12.3-inch touchscreen on the center stack and capacitive buttons on the console. Rear passengers can make things just right with their own infotainment and climate controls.

    Europeans can order the second-gen Panamera now. In Germany, prices start at 113,027 euros ($125,330) including VAT for the 4S, 116,954 euros ($129,685) for the 4S Diesel, and 153,011 euros ($169,653) for the Turbo. Deliveries will begin in early November. We'll keep you posted on North American availability when Porsche has those details.

                ^^^ LOL.

                Normally I'm almost always attracted to the top range model however, I think I actually prefer the 4S over the Turbo. The rounder front grille and exhaust seems to match the overall Panamera look better to me whereas the squared off exhaust and weird air intakes on the front of the Turbo just aren't doing it for me.

                PS. Did somebody say RS4! Deary me... please bring us a new one... it's been too long!

                  The second-generation Porsche Panamera doesn't arrive at European dealers until November, but Porsche already has hotter models in the works to slot above the currently range-topping Turbo. According to an anonymous insider speaking to Motor Trend, the most scorching of these additional versions pairs the sedan's biturbo V8 with a hybrid to generate around 700 horsepower (522 kilowatts).

                  The unnamed source claims that the hybrid components come from the 918 Spyder, which could indicate electric motors on the front and rear axle. The powertrain would allegedly produce a stupendous 800 pound-feet (1085 Newton-meters) of torque. This person doesn't know when this powerhouse would debut. We think it would be a good way to show Porsche customers the brand's electric tech before the Mission E's debut around 2020.

                  Porsche likes having a broad model range, and this source claims to Motor Trend that at least two other Panamera variants are in development. For those looking for efficiency from their sport sedan, the company would offer a hybrid with a supercharged V6. Unlike the biturbo V8 version, this one would put a bigger emphasis on improving fuel economy. Buyers who want a little more grunt than the current Turbo can look forward to the Turbo S. The insider alleges it would have about a 30-hp (22-kW) boost over the second-gen 542-hp (404-kW) model.

                  If this insider is right, then there's still a lot to look forward to from the Panamera. Spy shots show a shooting brake is already under development for customers looking for more interior room. In addition, rumors hint that Porsche might be considering adding a coupe and convertible to the lineup. So many design options and available powertrains should be able to fill any customer's desires.
