PORSCHE PANAMERA

Named after the Carrera Panamericana road racing event, the Porsche Panamera is a four-door GT (the first in the history of the company) that makes anyone that drives it proud. It’s more than a usual hatchback; it’s by all means a luxury car that has a distinct appearance.

With quite a number of choices when it comes to engines (hybrid petrol, diesel and turbocharged V8) and a sharp throttle response, the Panamera has managed to impress even those that were a bit sceptical in 2009, when the car was released in China, at the Shanghai Moto Show.

Amongst the options that Porsche offers for the Panamera, we particularly set our eyes on the all-wheel drive option, the adaptive air suspension (for the Panamera S and 4S) and the 7 speed PDK double-clutch gearbox (according to Porsche, the first in this segment of the market).
