Porsche Panamera – 25,000 built already

Porsche Panamera 25,000 in 1st year

Porsche has revealed that they have already built 25,000 Porsche Panameras in the first year of production at the Porsche plant in Leipzig. Big, exotic cars tend not to sell in big numbers. Annual production in the low thousands is usually as much as you’re likely to see from a supercar and once you get [...]

The Porsche Panamera has become the best selling Porsche in the US just months after it launched. The Porsche Panamera elicited pretty much the same response from the Porsche aficionados when it was revealed as the Cayenne did seven years ago – raise arms in horror; shriek about wrecking the brand and proclaim the end of Porsche [...]

Porsche Panameras recalled worldwide

Porsche is recalling 11,324 Porsche Panameras for a faulty seat belt mechanism. It’s not exactly in the same league as the recall that afflicted so many Toyotas (and Peugeots, and Citroens, and Lexus…) but seems a blow to Porsche’s reputation none the less. Every Porsche Panamera made from launch until 25th February – which is [...]

Porsche has revealed the V6 Panamera which will launch in Beijing in April and go on sale in Europe in May. Priced from £61k. A year on from the launch of the Porsche Panamera in China last year, Porsche has revealed that the Porsche Panamera V6 will join the Panamera lineup and – in yet [...]

Porsche Panamera – a real Porsche +video

Video thumbnail for youtube video Porsche Panamera - a real Porsche +video

Porsche has produced a promotional video for the new Panamera, putting it on contect with Porsches from the past. We had the same nonsense spouted when the Cayenne was first launched – it’s not a real Porsche and it will wreck the brand. And to be frank, I was probably one of those who had [...]

Porsche Panamera Convertible coming

Porsche are planning a 2 door Panamera Convertible

Porsche are planning on adding new variants of the Panamera, including a convertible and perhaps a GT – the new 928. Now that the Panamera is starting to hit the roads round the world speculation continues over Porsche’s future plans on the Panamera. We had a report a month or so ago that VW were [...]

Porsche Cayenne & Panamera to be axed?

That headline sounds a bit like a died-in-the-wool Porsche fanatics dream scenario. Dump the models they don’t consider to be ‘real’ Porsches and concentrate on the 911. Oh, and if they must – just for the poor, you understand – make the Boxster and Cayman so the hoi polloi can get a taste of the [...]

Gemballa Mistrale Porsche Panamera revealed

Gemballa has released information on the Porsche Panamera Gemballa Mirage

We’re used to Uwe Gemballa and the boys churning out Porsche Carrera GT special editions by the shed load, not to mention more than a handful of special edition Porsche Cayennes. Just this year we’ve had the Gemballa Tornado 750 GTS – a madly powerful Porsche Cayenne with 750bhp – and the Gemballa Mirage GT [...]

Porsche Panamera Custom Options

Porsche has launched a range of customisation options for the Panamera

Now that the Porsche Panamera is hitting showrooms in the UK and around the world, Porsche has decided that now is the time to increase their bottom line (and they need all the help they can get at the moment with VW about to take over Porsche!) and have launched a range of customistation options [...]

Porsche Panamera takes Nurburgring record

There are endless ‘Records’ set around the Nurburgring. Every class and category of car aims to take a record in its own category. Most of the noise on Nurburgring records of late has been on the Nissan GT-R Nurburgring record – which Porsche are unimpressed with – but now Porsche appears to have gone out [...]
