Porsche has announced it will build a fourth line of Porsche automobiles called the Panamera. The Panamera will be a premium-class sports coupe with four seats, four doors, and a choice of front-mounted engines driving the rear wheels. The Panamera will follow the other Porsche's lines which include the 911, the Boxster and the Cayenne. Production of the Panamera is to be in Leipzig, where Porsche already builds the Cayenne SUV and the Carrera GT.
"The Panamera is a perfect fit for Porsche," said Dr. Wendelin Wiedeking, the President and CEO of Porsche AG. "It has all the typical DNA characteristic of a genuine sports car. In terms of performance, design, and driving dynamics, it meets Porsche's high standards in every respect. Through this sports coupe we are making our customers a highly attractive offer in the top performance segment."
Automobile magazine has a sneak preview of the Panamera.
