Porsche Panamera on video

 

Panamera on the road

 

Porsche chief designer Michael Mauer talks you around the Panamera

 

Porsche Panamera – on-board driven around the Weissach test circuit.

 

But – seeing as this could turn out to be another important cash cow for the carmaker – you can’t really blame them.

A small group of journalists got to see the car in action late last week. And one of them even managed to hold the video camera steady enough in the back seat to get some footage as the Panamera Turbo was ``spanked around Weissach by a bloke who clearly knows the track far too well’’.

Also captured on video was a full walkaround and explanation from Porsche’s head designer Michael Mauer.

``For me, the new Panamera is a typical Porsche since it using typical Porsche design elements and design DNA,’’ Mauer says.

He points to the high fenders, v-shaped hood shutline and air intake as being strong Porsche cues.

Mauer says that in developing the Panamera, they ``looked at all Porsche cars and in particular at the GT, because that is the high-end Porsche’’ for inspiration.
