Belleview, Florida, United States
E-Mail Questions at: nakiabertagnoli@ravemail.com .
The Panamera fills the gap in Porsche's line between sports cars and the Cayenne SUV, offering high speed touring
for four in a comfortable and spacious package. It's especially wide at 76 inches, and its 195 inch length and 55.8
inch height make for plenty of interior space, and its rear hatch gives good access to its 15.7-cubic feet of
storage space. Flop the seatbacks down, and there's room for 44.6 cubic feet of luggage.The center of the
Panamera's body structure is steel, helping with rigidity, while the front frame sections, front double-wishbone
suspension components, rear subframe and multilink suspension, hood, doors and hatch are aluminum, which reduces
excess weight. In all, the S weighs in at just 3,968 pounds--well under the Maserati Quattroporte or Mercedes-Benz
S63 AMG--and weight at extreme ends of the chassis has been eliminated, giving excellent handling
characteristics.Five models are available: The base model comes in both rear-wheel and all-wheel form, S and the
all-wheel drive 4S and Turbo. The base models are powered by a 3.6L V6. The S and 4S are powered by Porsche's
32-valve 4.8L V8, which makes 400 horses and 369 pound-feet of torque. The S models has a top speed of 175 mph and
provides a 0-60 time of just 5.2 seconds. The 4S shares the same 175 mph top speed, but the addition of all wheel
drive drops the 0-60 time to 4.8 seconds. The Turbo makes 500 horses, which Porsche claims allows it to sprint to
60 in just 4 seconds flat on its way to a 188 mph top speed.All Panameras receive an updated version of Porsche's
PDK 7-speed automatic, which has been given two main shafts rather than the three offered in the 911, allowing the
unit to fit in a more narrow transmission tunnel and freeing up interior space. The 7-speed is optional on all
rear-wheel drive Panameras and standard on all the all-wheel drive models. All models receive a stop-start system,
which stops the engine when the car comes to a complete stop to save fuel. Once the brake is released, the engine
is automatically restarted.An available air suspension system allows control of the car's spring rate with the flip
of a switch, automatically lowering the car's ride height. Porsche's Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) is also
available, which de-couples the chassis' stabilizer bars when running in a straight line to increase ride quality,
then automatically reengaging them in the corners for increased control. Several levels are selectable with a
switch mounted on the dash. Porsche also offers a ceramic brake upgrade (PCCB), which reduces unsprung weight while
also significantly improving braking performance.The Panamera's interior features a liberal use of woodgrain,
leather and brushed aluminum. The louvers on the air vents, the sunvisors, the interior mirror and front and rear
consoles all available in leather trim. 18-way adjustable leather front seats and 8-way adjustable rears are
standard, as well as a host of power options. The Panamera is available for customization through Porsche's
Exclusive & Tequipment service, offering an array of high-end options including a rear seat cooling box in the
center console, which keeps drinks chilled and includes Porsche-crested glasses. Rear seat entertainment is also
available, which includes dual 7-inch flatscreen monitors mounted in the front seats' headrests, as well as
individual DVD players and cordless headphones.

Porsche 911 celebrates 50 years of iconic motoring
Tue, 10 Sep 2013Back in 1963, Porsche debuted the very first 911 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. And over the last 50 years, that coupe has grown to become one of the most iconic sports cars of all time. That in mind, you could easily chalk up this 50th Anniversary model as just one of the many special edition 911s that have graced our roads over the years, but dig a bit deeper and you'll see that this one is far more than just some unique paint and different wheels.
For starters, the 911 50th Anniversary Edition utilizes the wider Carrera 4/4S body, but retains its standard rear-wheel-drive configuration. Power comes from the Carrera S' 3.8-liter flat-six engine, but features a Powerkit upgrade that includes the Sport Chrono package and ups overall output to 400 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. Hitting 60 miles per hour takes just 3.8 seconds if the car is fitted with Porsche's dual-clutch PDK gearbox, or 4.2 seconds if you choose the row-your-own seven-speed manual. Talk about going Over The Hill with a quickness.
Despite looking pretty tame, we're really hot on the appearance of this special 911, with its throwback flat gray paint job and new 20-inch wheels that look remarkably similar to the original Fuchs alloys of the 1963 model. Inside, you'll find green lettering on the instrument displays, white pointer needles and silver accents, and the leather seats have a fabric insert that's similar to the Pepita cloth from the original 911.
Porsche 911 Turbo and Nissan GT-R Nismo star in World's Greatest Drag Race 4
Fri, 26 Sep 2014We love Motor Trend's annual World's Greatest Drag Race video. Now back for its fourth appearance, the idea of lining some of the world's fastest cars up for a ten-wide, straight-line, full-throttle run is, well... it's pretty freaking badass.
The lineup this year boasts some impressively fast cars to be sure. The group of ten includes the following darlings: Alfa Romeo 4C, BMW i8, BMW M4, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Ford Fiesta ST, Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, Nissan GT-R Nismo, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Subaru WRX STI and, last but not least, the Volkswagen GTI. Give us any one of those for the weekend, and we're happy to take the keys.
It must be said though, that for a publication that draws as much water as Motor Trend does, there are some big cars that we might expect to be here instead. The Lamborghini Huracán or Ferrari 458 Speciale would have added some exotic flare to the list, and the omissions of the Chevy Corvette Stingray (for the second year in a row) and the Dodge Challenger Hellcat are real head-scratchers.
Porsche to develop new line of engines for next Panamera
Sat, 22 Mar 2014When the second generation of the four-door Porsche Panamera launches, it will likely be riding a new platform, complete with an all-new family of V6 and V8 engines, according to a report coming out of the UK.
Autocar reports that the so-called MSB platform will likely underpin the Panamera, and it could be shared with Bentley, provided the Volkswagen-owned, British-built brand commits to the architecture. As for the engines, it's reported that they'll have a sportier character than the V6s and V8s being built for Volkswagen and Audi's vehicles.
"Porsche will have its own new V8 that will be common to the new MSB platform," Porsche's chief engineer, Wolfgang Hatz, said. "It's a family for the next 10 years of cars." Whether the V8 and V6 will be used outside of the Panamera line, though, remains unclear. There's also no mention of what place turbocharging would have with the new engines.
