These are the first pictures of the Porsche Panamera that got leaked onto the internet. Although its not like it popped up out of nowhere without any hint. the Panamera was accountable for quite some bandwidth of the internet for its hosts of relentless spy pics for the last 2 years, and now, we could all stop squinting our eyes and siding our heads or sticking our nose on monitors to peek the slightest details; as this 2000kg, 5 meters long and approx 2 meters wide and 1.4 meters height is shown in all glory here. The first thing that caught my eyes are the two swooping 'canals' on the bonnet and the side air vents from the front wheel arch that're new to Porsches, and despite the size, it doesn't look as imposing and gigantic, it does look more like an elongated Cayman than that of a 911. The side view thou, shows its weird but striking proportions, a long bonnet followed by a long cabin and a sudden chop down rear end, staying true to its forefathers that set the Porsche design language: A squashed down flattened Volkswagen Beetle, by Ferdinand Porsche.Engines will start from a 3.6ltr V6 putting around 300hp, subsequently a 4.8ltr V8 with around 400hp and of course ending up the top range with a Turbo, 500hp. Porsche will aim to sell around 20,000 Panameras a year (not a problem I guess) and (hopefully) rising up to 50,000 units a year.
