2010 Porsche Panamera to be Officially Unveiled in China

Porsche has announced that the four-door 2010 Porsche Panamera will have its official world debut at the 2009 Shanghai Auto Show on April 19th.

Porsche hasn't released the final specs about the Panamera, but instead has stated that the Panamera will be powered by modern V-engines with either six or eight cylinders. Horsepower numbers will range from 300-500 bhp. There will be two V8 engines, one normally aspirated and one with bi-turbocharger technology.

The engines are mated to either a six-speed manual or the new seven-speed double-clutch transmission. Rear-wheel-drive is standard and the top model with the turbocharged V8 will feature all-wheel-drive.

The 2009 Porsche Cayenne Hybrid: Well, It’s Not As Ugly As The Panamera

Although there are rumors swirling that later versions of Porsche’s new phallic-shaped 2010 Panamera will be a Parallel Hybrid, the 2009 Porsche Cayenne Hybrid has already taken the title of Porsche’s first hybrid vehicle. With a $44,600 price tag, the new Cayenne Hybrid boasts an EPA fuel estimate of roughly 24-26 mpg, about a 20% increase from Cayenne’s of years past.

Porsche 911 GT3: Full review with gallery

Here's a great review of the 911 GT3. Also, there is a full gallery; ideal for your desktop!It takes me a while to slot myself into the heavily bolstered sports seat. Longer still when I realise I’m sat on the seatbelt buckle and need to haul myself almost completely out to get at it. It is worth it though, as once I have squeezed my not-so-sporting frame into the thinly-padded £3,130 optional
