Porsche Panamera

The evolution of long-distance comfort. In 2009, an idea took shape that has played a significant role in the history of the Porsche company multiple times - that of a powerful, four-door luxury sedan that also has sporty genes. As early as 1988, this goal was nearly achieved with the prototype 989, but the decision was made against series production for strategic reasons. It would take more than twenty years for this vision to become a reality with the Porsche Panamera. The fact that the design of this fourth generation strongly resembled the Porsche Cayenne? No coincidence. The Cayenne was not only the first production Porsche to feature more than two doors, but it also paved the way for the layout with a water-cooled front engine and rear or all-wheel drive. The Panamera added to these characteristics with exceptionally sporty handling, bringing it closer to the 911, as well as a luxurious interior that turned it into a rolling business lounge. The second generation, offered from 2016, refined the offering in every respect and expanded the engine range with advanced hybrid technology. This book invites you to explore the journey of the Porsche Panamera so far. The history of its creation and development. All model variants and years. An interview with the design and development team. The first comprehensive book about one of the most successful Porsches, from the initial considerations in the 1950s to today - up to the Panamera G2, which is the Porsche of choice in many countries around the world, both as a sedan and in the form of the Panamera Sport Turismo.
