Filling out the product line with a four door V8 that finally replaces the Porsche 928
Rumours of a Porsche 928 replacement have been confirmed by the factory with the announcement of the Porsche Panamera.
We will update these pages as real data emerges.
"The Panamera fits to Porsche as it has all typical sports car genes" Wendelin Wiedeking, Porsche
I can only speculate that the car will take design cues from the Carrera GT and that a variety of models will be available. I wonder if we will see GT or Carrera GT in the line up. A carrera model was an honour never given to the 928!
