Six months before Porsche unleashes the Panemera, the company has announced prices, just to get you in the mood for some super-saloonery.
And here’s the news: the entry-level Panemera S will cost £72,266, the 4S will be £77,269 and the autobahn-spanking Turbo will be £95,298…
If you’re in the mood for a bargain, that might sound a little pricey, especially when a similar V8 powered 7-Series or A8 will cost you less. But at least Porsche will give you lots of goodies for your cash.
Standard bits and pieces on every model include full leather (naturally), Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), tyre pressure monitor, touch-screen sat-nav and Bluetooth tech complete with a wireless handset for the bigwigs sat in the back.
Go for the Turbo, and aside from the 500bhp slung under the bonnet, you’ll get 14-way seat adjustment to fit even the strangest-shaped bottoms, a BOSE stereo and heated rear seats to keep those bigwigs warmed and happy as they chat on their phones.
Oh, and if you fancy a bit of double-clutch action, Porsche’s PDK gearbox is a £2,289 option on the ‘S’ and standard on the other two models.
The car goes on sale on 12 September and all customers will get a free session at the Porsche Driving Experience in Silverstone to find out just how sideways their saloon can go.
Might wanna kick the bigwigs out for that bit, though…

Very pricey, and to be honest that rear view does nothing to entice you to buy it no matter what the price is!

This is the first time I?ve seen a proper shot of the back of it and I know I mustn?t but I have to say it: Chrysler Crossfire! Anyone else see it?

I agree with both of you... a four door Porsche just looks awkward.

@SteveBarnes: Oh God. You're right. It's a Porsche Crossfire. I don't see a reason for anyone to pay an enormous sum for an ugly car. I'll skip the Porsche, thanks.

It may have an engine up front but you can't deny they have tried to make a 911, four door hatch back. It does not look the part. But most of us thought that about the Cayenne and it sold by the bucket load.... Footballers and their families come to mind.
