I must be getting old.

A Panny is not a Sports Car, no matter how great it is, and great is what it most certainly is.

Low bodyline and only two seats or two + two very small rear seats maketh a sports car.

The Panny is a GT saloon, more a modern Lotus Cortina? :lol:

Funny you should say that, Col. By coincidence, I saw a Lotus Cortina here on the road in Swindon today! :)

And I agree with you. The Panamera is not a sports car, not even in saloon form in Carmine Red with SC and rear axle steering! ;)

I still want one of these.

1966 vintage, 0-60 in just under 10s which was pretty quick in the 60s.

A mate had one, well it was a bog standard Cortina modded to look like the Lotus.

Oh the joy, as a teenager, of seeing Lotus Cortinas blasting around Oulton Park battling it out with Cooper Ss (plural of S?!!), Imps and Ford Galaxies. 😀😀😀 And driven by some the top names of the day. 😀😀😀

It should have been the diesel Panamera. That is a true sportscar.
