Panamera here in September

In yet another indication of where carmakers see their future in volume sales, Porsche chose the Shanghai Motor Show to reveal to the world their new Panamera in production form.



The new four-door Panamera Gran Turismo goes on sale in Ireland and the UK on September 12 2009, and joins the Boxster roadster, Cayman coupe, 911 sports car, and Cayenne all-wheel drive in the Porsche product portfolio.

The Panamera is making its debut with a normally-aspirated 400bhp V8 petrol engine and a twin-turbocharged 500bhp V8 petrol engine, and in both rear-wheel and all-wheel drive chassis configurations. A six-cylinder petrol engine and hybrid-powered derivatives will join the range later.
