I will enjoy the video tonight, Mike. Thanks for sharing.

Am guessing they'll sell like hotcakes and the waiting list will be massive, with flippers up to their usual tricks... :roll:

Apparently 20,000 advance orders - estimated price £120,000 :o

I think I might wait a while. :shock: :?

Hmmm! Any news of the starting price in between a Panamera and a 911...?! :?

Edit: Just watched it. He’s testing the flagship, four wheel drive, high powered model which he reckons will be about £120k. Lots of other versions to follow over the ensuing 18 months, including a base model that he guesses might start at around £65k. Interesting... :ugeek:

Looks good but crazy price when the new Tesla 3 is around 50k for a 4 wheel drive performance model.

I think (in that form) it's a very ugly car. Front is just wrong to my eyes and the rear looks like an RX-7 which I didn't like on that car either.

I honestly believe that when the car is unveiled (next month?) it will look good, even if not quite as dramatic as the Mission E concept car. All those stickers, especially front & rear lights, really do downgrade the look of the car (deliberately).

These things will sell by the bucket-load!

I predict a lower, sleeker, sportier version of the Panamera with a few hints of 911 about it too. A desirable 4-door coupe. :geek:

Certainly still camouflaged and probably more Panamera-like than is apparent.

And launch is slated for 4 September. These is apparently a countdown on the Porsche site.

Also pics of a 2021 Panny facelift are doing the rounds.
