Here's an interesting tidbit for Panamera owners who may not know...

Perhaps you know that back in the late 1960s, Porsche was hoping to kill the 911. They were going to move into mid-front mounted engines, with the 4-cylinder 924 and 8-cylinder 928. And since both of those cars — as well as the 944 — saw some success in the 1980s, Porsche considered a 4-door sports car to take on Benz and BMW. Obviously it never made it into production, and despite the 911 styling it had a front mounted V8. Still supremely hot — especially considering the concept dates back to 1988 — it nearly is a 4 door version of the 996 Carrera that came out in 1998.
