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.

McLaren P1 vs Porsche 918 vs Ducati 1199 Superleggera in epic standing-mile drag race
Fri, 10 Oct 2014We live in a high-tech supercar renaissance, with the Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari all duking it out for performance supremacy. All three members of this power trio place the engine behind the driver and use some kind of hybrid assist. However, each one finds a slightly different way to make that setup work. While all of the tech is insanely cool, let's just admit that we are all really wondering which one is the quickest and which is the fastest. Autocar aims to find out in a new video pitting two of them against a surprise challenger in the standing mile.
Unfortunately, the race is missing the Ferrari, despite Autocar's best efforts. So instead, it has another limited-edition, high-performance vehicle from Italy in the form of the Ducati 1199 Superleggera. The bike has just two cylinders, but at 1.2-liters of displacement, it makes over 200 horsepower, and all that gumption is packaged into a magnesium monocoque body with carbon fiber bodywork to keep weight low. Granted, the cycle is going up against the 875-hp Porsche and 903-hp McLaren, but traction, aerodynamics and gearing all play a part in this fascinating video.
There's no sense in ruining the winner before watching, but Autocar teases that the finish is one of its closest drag races ever. Check out the video to find out just what that means.
2014 Porsche Cayenne Platinum Edition is the ace of base
Tue, 14 Jan 2014If there's one automaker that certainly doesn't skimp on the special edition models, it's Porsche, and here at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, we're getting our first look at yet another unique take on one of the company's most popular models. It's called the Cayenne Platinum Edition, and while many special models build off of higher-trim vehicles, this one adds a bit of flair to the most basic version of the luxury SUV.
The Platinum Edition is available on Cayennes with the base 3.6-liter V6 or the 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6. Platinum models are set apart from other models with the addition of silver exterior accents on the grilles, window trim and rear spoiler, as well as the two-tone, black-and-beige interior scheme. It also comes standard with the eight-speed Tiptronic S transmission, Power Steering Plus, Park Assist, the Convenience Package and Bose audio.
The cost of entry? $63,000 for the naturally aspirated Cayenne or $66,900 for the diesel. That's a full $13,000 more than the base model, but Porsche says it's actually a bargain as opposed to selecting all of those options individually. Have a look below for Porsche's official release.
Motor Trend hits Laguna Seca with Ferrari F12, Chevy Corvette, Porsche 911
Thu, 26 Sep 2013According to the crew at Motor Trend, we should think of the video below "as an addendum to Best Driver's Car," a test the magazine put together that elevated the 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S above all others in the category of driving joy. It seems the brand-new 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray wasn't able to take part in the magazine's official test, and neither was the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta.
And so Motor Trend did the only logical thing: It procured both the 'Vette and Prancing Horse as soon as it could, and put them both on track with the Driver's Car-winning 911. Of course, these cars don't actually compete against each other - the Ferrari offers up 731 horsepower and wears an asking price of $434,144 as tested, which means you could buy four loaded Corvettes for the price of one F12, and still have money left for a garage to store them in - but that's not the point of this particular test.
The point of this test isn't to listen to the beautiful sounds coming from the Porsche's flat-six-cylinder, the Corvette's pushrod V8 or the Ferrari's luscious V12, either, but the video below is worth watching for those three reasons alone. You know what to do.
