Porsche Panamera: the hype continues

It certainly does. There's been plenty of speculation about Porsche's forthcoming model, designed to bridge the gap between its top-end sports cars and SUVs. Porsche currently holds the record for making the most cash per car, and combined with the success of the Cayenne with the school-run crowd, the company is rolling in it. So now seems like a good time for a spot of product development and these shots of the Panamera undergoing testing in Germany prove that Porsche is doing just that.

When's the Panamera expected in the UK?

It's not due to be unveiled until 2009, but prototypes are routinely spotted out and about even though it's well over two years until launch. UK buyers will have to hold their breath even longer as the Panamera isn't expected to make its way to Britain until early 2010. They will have to set aside at least £54,000 for the entry-level V6 model, prices climbing all the way up to £84,000 for the range-crowning Turbo.
