Porsche unveils Panamera cabin photos, details

Porsche AG released official photos and details of its upcoming Panamera's "cockpit for four." We've already had a look at the exterior and seen some blurry pictures of the dashboard, but this is our first clear look at the gran turismo's interior.

Porsche will offer the interior in 13 color and material combinations, including four two-tone leather interiors and seven interior trim options, from carbon fiber to Natural Olive wood.

Cabin tech comes in the form of a new ultra high-end surround sound system from renowned Berlin audio manufacturer Burmester. While this is the first … Read more

Porsche Panamera revealed in official photos

Porsche's upcoming Panamera, err, wagon (or as I like to call it, the Cayenne for acrophobes) has been revealed in all of its officially photographed glory.

Based on the specs released by Porsche, the Panamera is slightly longer than the Cayenne and much shorter vertically. In the photos, we can see the dual-element headlamps with integrated turn signals, which were introduced on the new 911 and continued on the freshly minted Cayman and Boxter. We also see the air dam-located daytime running lamps. The profile is decidedly Porsche, albeit a bit distorted to make room for the two additional … Read more

Photos: New Porsche Cayman and Boxster

At the 2008 LA Auto Show, Porsche unveiled its new Boxster and Cayman models, presented alongside the first Porsche ever, a 1940s-era Porsche 356.

While the tweaked exteriors aren't drastically different from the previous generation, the technology under the hood has changed quite a bit. Four new, larger engines are also more efficient, thanks to the inclusion of direct injection technology and optional PDK double-clutch transmission.

Video: Porsche Panamera teaser

We've had a peek at the tail end of the upcoming Porsche Panamera when the world's sportiest wagon was spied in San Francisco. We've had a look at the dash when photos of the interior leaked onto the Net.

In this teaser video--produced by Porsche, I must add--we get a good long look at the exterior of the porky Porsche in motion. My first impressions are better than I expected, but it still like a squashed and flattened Cayenne. Enjoy.

Great Scott, the Panamera has a lot of buttons!

Spy photos of the Panamera--Porsche's upcoming wagon, for lack of a better term--have been leaking all over the Web for some time now. Only recently have we been able to see the vehicle's interior.

We expected the typical German button-heavy interface. Just one look at the Cayenne's interior and you'll see that Porsche isn't afraid to slap a bunch of buttons on the dash. However, these somewhat blurry spy shots show that perhaps an intervention is required to curb Porsche's button addiction.

A quick eyeball count shows a whopping 44 buttons and switches … Read more
