I spotted 3 Panamera's this morning (South Africa)

I was driving towards the office and I saw 3 funny looking cars in my rear view, so I pull to the middle lane and sure enough it was not 1, but 3 Porsche Panamera's in camo. The engines were very very quiet, I couldn't hear a thing so I didn't bother to try take a video. They all had german license plates.

This is one long car, much longer than the Cayenne.

It looks like a Veyron mated with a base model 3 series sedan.

I'm not sold yet......but VERY cool pics and sighting Mike. Thanks for sharing

WOW! Nice. Ordering one Mike?
Why testing in South Africa though? Hot weather testing?

I personally can't say until I see the final production car. I wouldn't buy one though, learnt my lesson with my Cayenne T. If it's not a 911, your resale has gone down the tube! Especially with taxes what the cars cost here.

Thanks for sharing, I am still on the fence with that car, have to see it in person but I feel a little better about it than previous sightings.
