Hi,

just filmed a group of new Porsche Panamera Prototypes in stuttgart. Enjoy the sound of the engine!

 

I still dont understand all those indentations on the rear bumper i hope they wont go on to the car when its released.

 

so would thse gas prices be in Euro's? if so that would put it about CDN$ 2.20 per litre - i am paying CDN$1.38 or so per litre.

& i can't understand those rear indents either. they can't be the new rear lights as people have said it will be a subtle change & that does not strike me as sublte.

 

I can't believe those rear indents will make it to production.

 

The best 4 doored car

 

There is likely a redesigned rear bumper/fascia and exhaust cut-outs, what is show is an probably an overlay that is hiding it all. The cut outs are so the sensors can work properly.

I grew up in Detroit, and saw many test mules, pre-production and one-off cars from the big three all the time, with the most from Ford. Spot anything with a 'manufacturers plate' and its bound to be something interesting. The execs and engineers drive them on city streets to/from their houses all the time (or at least used to).

When I was in college we had a service station at the time, a Ford guy came rolling in, in a pre-production 1st gen Ford Taurus SHO one night with a bad exhaust rattle. We put it on the lift and tightened up the clamps and he took us for a ride. He rowed through those gears to about 120 on a four lane road and we all got out with smiles on our faces.

 

Agree. It looks like the 'blocks' sitting over the cutouts are temporary - must be.

 

I just moved to SC and BMW has a plant where they build the X5, X6 and the Z roadster. My neighbor works for them and he has been driving a wicked one-off X5 for the last few weeks. I chose the wrong profession!!!

 

Looks great. I like the new refinements
