Porsche Panamera (2009) first photos, video, podcast and... jazz song!

Rated 4 out of 5

Tim Pollard, 15 September 2008 14:00

This is the first undisguised photograph of the new Porsche Panamera four-door saloon. It may be lacking disguise, but there's precious little we can see in this artfully cropped first picture of the Panamera. Although it offers an annoyingly restricted view, this is the first time we've seen Stuttgart’s new gran turismo. And this Panamera teaser photo is just one ...

Power (of course) comes from a 6.0-litre GM-sourced V8, but the chassis isn’t some hastily cobbled together tubular steel job.

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Ben Whitworth, 08 March 2007 11:49

Not one, but two hardcore Lotuses? Tell me more... Lotus pulled the wraps off two adrenalin-fuelled racers – the racetrack-biased 2-Eleven and the hardcore Exige GT3 (above). Based on last year’s GT3 championship winner, the mid-engined GT3 is currently being billed as a concept, but expect it to make production by the end of the year as a fully road-legal ...
