Porsche Panamera at Loeber Motors

Have you seen the new 4-door Porsche sports car/sedan? Ta-Dah! Here it is! We had the opportunity to test drive it recently at Loeber Motors Porsche in Lincolnwood. Oh my…

The Porsche Panamera production model was unveiled at the 13th Auto Shanghai International Automobile Show in Shanghai, China on April 2009 and it arrived in dealerships across the US in October 2009.  The Panamera is 76 inches in width, making it an especially wide sedan. A Mercedes-Benz S-Class, by comparison, is less than 74 inches wide. The Panamera measures 55.8 inches in height and 195.7 inches in length. This makes for a roomy interior, especially for just four passengers. The cabin is complete with 18-way adjustable front seats, and 8-way adjustable rear seats.

Porsche set out to design the world’s first uncompromised four-door. The automaker maintains that the Panamera Gran Turismo is yet another success story waiting to be written and claims the all-new model is the new class benchmark for performance, exemplary efficiency and personal comfort. The vehicle’s world-first innovations within the segment include the first double-clutch transmission, the first with an engine start-stop system, the first with an air suspension with on-demand air volume, the first with active aerodynamics, and the first with an available “Sport Chrono” package elevating performance at the touch of a button.  Unlike the BMW M5, Audi S6, and Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG — all competent family sedans gussied-up to masquerade as sport sedans — the Porsche Panamera is built with the sole objective of being the only clean-sheet high performance sport sedan in the segment. Even the Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG, arguably one of the Panamera’s closest competitors, pales in performance.

See it for yourself at Loeber… 4255 West Touhy Ave in Lincolnwood, IL and www.loebermotors.com.
