The Panamera is the car every luxury vehicle manufactured always feared Porsche would make. It’s a full-sized, four-door, front-engine luxury vehicle that combined Porsche’s legendary performance with elegance demanded by luxury markets. Considered to be the fruition of the company’s 989 concept vehicle which first graced human eyes in the 1980’s. In 2009, hybrid and deasil powered variants were released, further setting the Panamera as luxury vehicle one-step ahead of the rest. Also available with a V8 or in a supercharged package, the Panamerahas proven Porsche is not only still very relevant, they aren’t afraid to progress and expand. Though some have complained about its looks, the Panamera has received nothing but praise for its performance and revolutionary design.
