For several years Porsche have proven to be extremely popular with sports car enthusiasts. However now they have chosen to produce a new type of automobile and the Porsche Panamera is something which is totally different.

Typically this is a company renowned for creating two seater, two door automobiles but have chosen to move into the luxury saloon sedan market with this vehicle. It is much longer than other versions that Porsche except for its 4 x 4 models to be able to accommodate the 4 seats and 4 doors.

When it comes to the engine in this car you have two options you can either select the conventionally aspirated V8 model or you might opt for the turbo kind. With the normal model of the Porsche Panamera it is rear wheel drive. Whereas when you opt for the model where the engine is fitted with a turbo then it comes with 4 wheel drive and the traction management system which this company has improved upon.

Even though only introduced in April 2009 now there have been a number of new versions debuted. This includes the ZF Friederichschafen, the V6 and the Panamera 4. The first two new models like the Panamera S and 4S are equipped with rear wheel drive, while when it comes to the Panamera 4 like the Turbo model it includes 4 wheel drive.

But when it comes to the newer versions that were debuted in February of this year they come with 6 cylinder engines able to produce 300 horsepower in the standard model. However the transmission systems which these vehicles use do vary. For example in the older models and the new Panamera V6 these are installed with a manual transmission system. But, when it comes to the ZT Friederichschafen and the Porsche Panamera 4 you will discover that they have opted for the 7 speed PDX dual clutch transmission system to be set up.

As mentioned above this vehicle is lengthier than the sports cars that this company is famous for making. Indeed it measures a total of 5 metres however it is designed to seat 4 people in a relaxed manner. However although being longer and weighing more don't be concerned that efficiency in this automobile is lacking. Yes this automobile weighs around 2 tonnes it can still speed up from to 60 in just over 4 seconds. Plus once the power is on you will find that there is no damage even if the speedometer is into triple figures.

If you are going to be choosing the Porsche Panamera Turbo version then you will find that the handling is still excellent through the use of the Active Suspension Management system. When in comfort or sport mode you may find as you drive this vehicle it floats slightly. But when put into Sport Plus mode you will be surprised about just how much fun you can have driving this car as it grips the road well and you will find the steering both direct and responsive to your requirements.
