Porsche Panamera

Porsche's First Ever Four-Door Sedan
 Arrives at the Auto Palace


The new Panamera is the first all-new Porsche in seven years and represents the renowned German sports car company's first four-door luxury sedan in its 61 year history.  The Panamera is now the fourth model line for Porsche and one of the most highly anticipated vehicles since the company announced it would build it more than four years ago. "With this sedan, Porsche is essentially creating a new vehicle concept that is a true sports car with four-doors, four seats, eight cylinders, seven gears and a multitude of new technical and design features.  It is truly unlike anything else on the road. The most important task in designing, developing and building the Panamera was to combine Porsche's sports car DNA and its historic racing heritage with all the spaciousness and driving comfort of a supremely luxurious full-size sedan.  It is the alternative car for the premium customer and aims to be the clear segment leader in terms of performance, driving dynamics and efficiency," said Porsche.

Porsche Panamera Wins the 2009 Bloomberg Car of the Year



Bloomberg News recently announced the 2010 Porsche Panamera as its Car of the Year for 2009. The Panamera is among Bloomberg's first-ever Car of the Year selections, with seven categories in all, including Car of the Year, Green Car, Economy, Family, All-Around SUV, Sports Car and Executive Sedan. The selectees were evaluated on the basis of overall performance, intelligent design and smart style, desirability and build quality. "The Porsche Panamera has broken the sports-sedan category wide open, producing a truly desirable auto that combines the best elements of a sports car and comfortable four-door," Bloomberg said. "Fast and Fun, the Panamera is a car with real appeal."
The Bloomberg recognition comes on the heals of the Panamera receiving an Edmunds Inside Line Editors' Most Wanted 2010 trophy at the 2009 Los Angeles Auto Show.


Porsche Panamera Awarded the Golden Steering Wheel

  
The Porsche Panamera has been awarded the Golden Steering Wheel as the Best New Car of the Year in the Luxury Performance Class. With its combination of supreme comfort and outstanding sportiness, and through its unique design, Porsche's Gran Turismo convinced the 50-man jury made up of racing drivers, engineers, celebrities and the senior editors of the Auto Bild Magazine Group trying out the candidates on thorough test drives. Before receiving this outstanding award, the Panamera had already been chosen by readers as one of the five best models in the luxury performance class with experts putting the car through its paces in the final contest on a test track in Italy for two enduring days.
 
This year this special prize presented for the first time by publisher Axel Springer in 1976 was awarded not "just" by the German Sunday newspaper Bild am Sonntag, but rather by a group of publications including the Auto Bild Motoring Journal and its European sister publications, making the coveted award even more significant than ever. Michael Macht, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, received the trophy on Wednesday evening from Bernd Wieland, Editor in chief of Auto Bild, at the headquarters of the Axel Springer AG in Berlin.
