For many years Porsche have proven to be extremely popular with sports vehicle enthusiasts. Yet now they have chosen to create a new type of car and the Porsche Panamera is something which is totally different.

Generally this is a company famous for creating two seater, two door cars but have chosen to move into the luxury saloon sedan market with this particular vehicle. It is considerably longer than other versions that Porsche except for its 4 x 4 models so as to have capacity for the 4 seats and 4 doors.

When it comes to the engine in this vehicle you have two alternatives you can either opt for 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. While when you opt for the version where the engine is fitted with a turbo then it comes equipped with 4 wheel drive and the traction management system that this company has improved upon.

Although only showcased in April 2009 now there have been many new models debuted. This includes the ZF Friederichschafen, the V6 and the Panamera 4. The first two new versions like the Panamera S and 4S are fitted with rear wheel drive, while when it comes to the Panamera 4 like the Turbo model it comes with 4 wheel drive.

But with regards to the newer models that were first showed in February of this year they come with 6 cylinder engines capable of producing 300 horsepower in the standard model. But the transmission systems which these cars use do differ. For example in the older versions and the new Panamera V6 these are fitted with a manual transmission system. But, when it comes to the ZT Friederichschafen and the Porsche Panamera 4 you will find that they have opted for the 7 speed PDX dual clutch transmission system to be set up.

As pointed out this vehicle is longer than the sports cars which this company is famous for producing. Indeed it measures a total of 5 metres however it is made to seat 4 people comfortably. However although being lengthier and weighing more don't be concerned that performance in this car is lacking. Yes this car weighs about 2 tonnes it can still accelerate from to 60 in just over 4 seconds. Moreover once the power is on you will find that there is no loss even if the speedometer is into triple figures.

If you are going to be deciding on the Porsche Panamera Turbo model then you will find that the handling is still very good through the use of the Active Suspension Management system. When in comfort or sport mode you might find as you drive this vehicle it floats a little. But when put into Sport Plus mode you will be impressed by just how much enjoyment you can have driving this vehicle as it grips the road effectively and you will find the steering both direct and responsive to your needs.
