Porsche's 4 Door... The Panamera
Quote:
|
If that's what the production car will really look like, I like it. It's so clean. Very beautiful, and even better with 400+ horsepower. I wonder if they'll put an awd system in it like the 911 and cayenne
|
They should have made that before the Cayenne
|
It kinda looks like someone stepped on the cayenne. The back doors open backwards?
|
oh my god that's ugly... it looks like something chrysler would design. this is just all kinds of wrong.

Thats why the door handles are like that! :crazy: |
all to compete with the upcoming MB 4 door luxo coupe.
|
4 door coupe? That doesn't make sense, since 'coupe' pretty much means '2' and in.. 2 doors. I'm confused.
|
me too... I saw it the other day on the mbusa.com site. the new CLS is a 4door luxo coupe

Yeah, that's the car I thought of when I saw this.
I think the Porsche looks better though. I'm cautiously optimistic about this, hoping it's more along the lines of the M5 then anything else. |
Is there a front shot?

Hmmm... that one above has normal rear doors, not the ones that swing "backwards," I wonder if that one at the top of the thread is a concept and the production car will have normal doors.
|
Wow, that's beautiful. I used to race in a 928 at Laguna Seca a few years back. This will be on my wish list.
|
I actually really like it. normally I think car companies should stick to what they do best (i.e. cayenne WTF?) but it should give MB some competition.

I think the term your looking for is "suicide doors" |
i guess sedans are becoming more popular because of the insane insurrance prices!
|
I don't think most people in the market for high-end Mercedes and Porsches care too much about insurance costs.

Regarding the difference door handle location for the rear door handles;
The articles that I have seen so far state that there are no actual photos or drawings released by porsche, so these are composites and artists renderings. |

it's a good looker, but what's the point of a 4-door? isn't that Audi or VW's job?
|
Well at least they aren't making a pick up truck.

btw, see that black VW GTI with the black [well, anthracite] colored rims in the background of one of the shots? well, that would be my pride and joy :)
|
Fugly. Enough said.

http://people.westminstercollege.edu...l/history2.htm the car looks eerily similar, from the side profile, to the mb cls that has been shown in previous posts. |
Suicide Doors
VW were hardly one of the first to have suicide doors. This door style predates the ICE let alone VW and were not uncommon on coaches (the drawn by horse type). Chrysler at least had them on production cars in the early 30's. Heck my grand father had a '33 Dodge Sedan Delivery with suicide doors.

not sure I like the back of it. Looks like an early 80's 928. Maybe it's just the angle of this picture.
|
all i have to say is that is one sexy car
|
Very interesting...though it doesn't look very Porsche-y.
