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.

UK Porsche GT3 owners are irked that other countries are getting better deals
Sun, 27 Apr 2014Porsche 911 GT3 owners in the United Kingdom are up in arms, but it's not for the reason you might think. Okay, well it sort of is. See, it's been fairly well documented that 911 GT3 owners have had their cars grounded over concerns that the engines could catch fire. Porsche is rushing to build and install replacement engines in all 800 or so cars, scattered around the globe.
This isn't really the issue. The problem for these British owners is compensation. While the car's have been grounded, car notes still need to be paid. To deal with this, American GT3 owners are being paid $2,000 per month. German owners get 175 euros ($242 at today's rates) per day while a GT3 owner in Dubai is allegedly receiving $12,000 (it's unclear if this is a lump sum or a monthly payment). Basically, if you aren't able to drive your six-figure super car, you shouldn't have to pay for it. Seems reasonable regardless of the make.
British owners, though, aren't being compensated, and for 30 to 35 owners, that's not acceptable. They've banded together and are led by Sunil Mehra.
Porsche (finally) unleashes full, official details on 918 Spyder
Mon, 09 Sep 2013Porsche has finally let released all of the details on the 918 Spyder, the German brand's challenger to the McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari, after months of leading our poor, performance-loving hearts on. The covers were lifted at the Volkswagen Group night, an enormous precursor to the Frankfurt Motor Show, and include a massive, 11,000-word press release that's attached at the bottom of this page.
The 918 Spyder features a mid-mounted, dry-sump-lubricated, 4.6-liter V8 engine that generates 608 horsepower when left to its own devices. Combined with a trio of electric motors, which produce 286 hp, the total system horsepower for the 918 Spyder rests at 887 ponies. That's less than the McLaren P1 (903 hp) and the LaFerrari (949 hp), but the Porsche is also likely to be a bit cheaper, starting at $845,000, while the McLaren will be in the seven-figure range for certain, and it will more than likely be joined by the LaFezza.
The 918 Spyder counters with a 2.8-second jog to 62, a 7.7-second run to 124 and it will hit 186 in 22 seconds.
Porsche Cayman, Boxster caught in GTS trim
Sat, 18 Jan 2014A few months ago, we reported on some leaked information from an internal presentation for upcoming Porsche models. This included details about the Macan and the 911 Targa, which we now know to be true, but there was also talk about GTS versions of the Cayman and Boxster.
Well, it appears we're now getting our first look at these GTS models, as our spy photographers have just snapped a pair of Porsche prototypes out testing - one Cayman and one Boxster.
Right off the bat, we can see that both GTS-branded cars will get a slightly tweaked exterior with new fascias (bringing LED daytime running lights to the Cayman) and air diffusers at the rear. The true gem of these cars will be the added horsepower to the tune of 340 horsepower - a 15-hp bump. A manual transmission will likely be standard, as will Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM).
