2009 Porsche Panamera

2009-Porsche-Panamera-img


As expected the Panamera will most likely share a similar front to the rest of the Porsche lineup, however the car is inherently different to the rest of the German stable.Unlike the 911, the Panamera is a conventional front-engined rear-wheel drive that will become Porsche’s Grand Tourer. The car will be put together in Porsche’s Leipzig facility with the engines originating from Stuttgart and the car’s painted shell crafted in Hanover by Volkswagen.

Porsche will compete directly against its German and Italian rivals such as the Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG and Maserati Quattroporte. There is also the possibility of taking sales away from the Bentley Continental GT, Aston Martin Rapide and even the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti .

Porsche insiders have said the Panamera range will include at least three engine choices, Volkswagen’s 3.5-litre six-cylinder, which develops a healthy 223kW and Porsche’s own direct-injection eight-cylinder petrol engines, available in naturally-aspirated guise (261kW) and with twin-turbos (417kW).

The space available inside the car offers a brand-new experience of roominess. The two sporting and comfortable single seats at the rear will allow adults to relax with surprisingly generous headroom, in full comfort and, if they wish, with all the performance and speed of a genuine Gran Turismo.

Dr. Ing. h. c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, will also be building a hybrid drive version of the new Panamera. This four-door Gran Turismo with sporting driving dynamics so typical of Porsche will boast the proven components featured in the Cayenne Hybrid entering the market at the end of the decade. And thanks to its newly developed full parallel hybrid, Porsche’s Sports Utility will offer average fuel consumption of less than 9 litres/100 kilometres.

The newly developed full parallel hybrid system will consist primarily of the battery unit positioned in the luggage compartment, the power electronics, and the hybrid module between the engine and transmission comprising an additional clutch and the electric motor. Depending on driving conditions, the hybrid module is able to disengage either the combustion engine or the electric motor, or to combine both drive systems as one joint power unit. Hence, the Panamera may be driven in a number of different modes ranging from all-electric drive absolutely free of emissions all the way to the sporting style of motoring so typical of a Porsche.

In 2009, the cars will be only in price

Unfortunately, the experts are united in the opinion: the 2009-meters cars will get up, and the auto will remain. However, to adequately assess the situation can only be in March - the first quarter will go on «awakening».

Under the pessimistic forecast, which takes Autostat, car market serious setback. For example, sales of cars can drop by 20% and return to the level in 2006 as a result - the shortage of liquidity and rising costs, which automakers and dealers will fight austerity.

There will be frozen a lot of projects - such as construction and car production at the assembly line of new models. There have already been indefinitely postponed production model Mondeo, and moved started Renault and Nissan models for 2010-2011. Participation and forced to leave for employees.

Not surprisingly, the decline and imports. First, manufacturers cut production throughout the world. Secondly, as a result, prices will inevitably rise. Finally, on 10-11 January in force a government decree, significantly increases import duties on cars. Avtokontserny will make every effort to pass on to consumers the cost increase. Expected price increases for cars - 10-15%, but in terms of imports. On the contrary, are expected to decline.

Still, analysts are not so unanimous. According to some, especially to decrease the import of used cars - an average of 10-15%, while imports of new cars had been reduced or even increase. Others are more pessimistic and promise skoraschenie all.
As for the car, then in any form in the coming year should not wait for his recovery. The stakes are very high and unfavorable for the consumers, and to change the situation is not likely before the last quarter of 2010.
