Ferrari Sedan Designed By Fanboy; We'll Take A Pinin Instead

With the likes of the Porsche Panamera, Aston Martin Rapide and Lamborghini Estoque super sedans coming to the Paris Motor Show, it made sense for young Russian designer Krasnov Igor to render up his idea of what a Ferrari four-door should look like. Thankfully, there likely won't be such a product, but if there will, we sure hope it doesn't look much like Igor's design. One could argue that the basic shape, if you squint, isn't all that bad, but the roof treatment and rear end completely ruin the rest of the package, and the wavy body panels make BMW's flame-surfacing look tame.

Porsche Panamera Official Teaser Hides The Ugly Parts

This is the first official photograph released of the 2010 Porsche Panamera Gran Turismo, and while it's obviously just a teaser shot, they certainly have done a good job at selecting which part of the car to tease with. The big sedan from Stuttgart may have a handsome face, but we're reserving judgment until we can see its bloated body. We're thinking if they had released a teaser shot of just the back end sticking out, more than a few pre-orders may have been canceled.

2010 Porsche Panamera Caught With Its Hatch Open

The excruciatingly slow striptease in which the 2010 Porsche Panamera is engaged has taken a big step today, as this is the first look we've gotten at the car with its rear hatch raised. We see a car loaded up with test equipment and displaying several features visible via the open hatch. There appears to be no power open and close mechanism in action here (thankfully) and it seems the rear seats fold flat permitting a huge cargo area. Also, aft of the front wheel there seems to be a fender detail which could be a styled fender vent reminiscent of the Porsche Carrera GT. Absent still are a comely design and brand self-awareness.

2010 Porsche Panamera Interior Is A Sea of Sexy Buttons

The slow, agonizing, bloated, excruciating march towards the Frankfurt Motor Show unveil of the 2010 Porsche Panamera continues unabated, and now we get a pretty good peek at the interior. The Panamera is expected to cross into the six-figure price range, and the interior we see here seems to stand up to that speculation. Leather, tons of buttons, big touch screen, stylish three-spoke steering wheel and Porsche's DSG transmission: all present. We'll just have to see how our bellyaching stands up when the front-engined four-door super-sedan eventually shows up. [AutoCar]

2010 Porsche Panamera Threesome Spotted At Denver Airport

Thanks to a vigilant reader and his handy camera phone, we've been tipped off that there are a trio of lightly camouflaged, Georgia-plated Porsche Panameras out and about in the Denver area today. This terrible trio was spotted at the Denver International Airport, indulging in what will be common for the cars once they hit the streets: picking up popped-collar Germans at the airport. What we find most amusing in this set is that they're at the airport, with luggage, which goes in a trunk — and yet, no trunk action. Interesting.

Porsche Panamera Stars in Suspiciously Convenient Spy Video

Two minutes of drive by and street level video seems hugely suspicious to us. 'Oh hey! Look I'm standing in a field in the German countryside and look what happened to pass by - 3 times - a Porsche Panamera.' 'Hey Dieter, what's that over there opposite the corner we are standing on while you videotape traffic?' ' Why Udo, it appears to be the much anticipated Porsche Panamera, imagine our luck.' We're not buying it. This close to its unveiling at the Geneva Motor Show and two solid minutes of footage comes out? We smell marketeers. And no, you aren't seeing things. Yes that is a trailer hitch, thus signifying the end of days.

Electric Bruce! Porsche Releases Details on Panamera Hybrid

Such teases, those Porsche types. Just weeks after telling the German press they're not quite sold on the whole hybrid thing, sales wise, the company's released details on the gas-electric version of its coming Panamera four-door. (Wait, did we say Panamera? Yes, we did.) That means the top-view rendering above, while informing us of the new e-gas tech with cutaway and callouts, provides one of the first representations of the actual car we've seen from the Stuttgart studio. As expected, the modular hybrid drivetrain is the same joint-VW/Audi rig found in the recently revealed hybrid Cayenne. The system allows for joint gas/electric operation during acceleration and electric-only propulsion at highway speeds. That for highly excellent and most precise driving dynamism, no doubt. (Press release after the jump.) More »

Porsche Panamera: Test Convoy!

Looks like Wiedeking's boys are on their way to northern Canada to put the Porsche Panamera through some Alberta-grade testing. According to the gent who spotted a convoy of cars and crew, the Stuttgart special forces were headed to Yellowknife, the capital of Canada's Northwest Territories. That's about 250 miles from the Arctic circle, where the new slope-roofed Panamera will undergo deep-freeze testing. Didn't anyone tell these boys winter's coming? Guess they'll have to rely on all the whale-like Porker to stay warm when the thermometer mercury makes a beeline for the center of the earth. [via FerrariChat]

A Panorama of Porsche Panameras

High=altitude testing makes strange bedfellows. In this case, a team of German-speaking engineers, holed up at a Colorado retreat with six Porsche Panamera prototypes, found themselves in close proximity to John the tipster, who snapped a few photos of the proceedings. To wit:
I am at a conference at the the Keystone Inn right now in Keystone, Colorado... a ski resort near Breckenridge. There are about 6 Panameras hidden in back parking lot, and a handful of Germans with laptops who aren't too interested in striking up a conversation. They've been here for a few days and the cars are modestly disguised with tarps, plastic, reflective tape, and big plastic crates over the rear spoiler, although there's not much that can truly hide a Porsche the size of an Avalon. The interior was also well disguised with vinyl covering the dash, doors, and even the steering wheel. Made my conference a little more interesting.
Porsche says all this testing will be done by the 2009 Frankfurt show, where the Panamera will hit the floodlights.
