Spied: Porsche Panamera Testing In Artic Circle - Pictures and Video
July 7, 2008
Spy pictures of Panamera pop up every once in a while, as if to remind us that it’s coming, but no shots have been as clear as this, which shows that the Panamera is still as ugly as when we first saw it. The Panamera is an important product for Porsche and that’s maybe why ‘ze Germans’ have been testing it in various different locations around the world; South Africa, it’s own backyard at Stuttgart and more importantly at the ‘Ring, but Porsche is not stopping at that, now they’re at the Arctic Circle. Apparently the supersedan is undergoing cold weather testing in one of the world’s most inhospitable places in an effort to ensure the sedan’s engine and other vital equipment will hold up even in the worst of conditions. The engine line up for the Panamera will possibly include a diesel, hybrid, V6, V8 and a turbo V8, with all those engines to winterize, it’s likely the Porsche boys will be at the Artic for a while, maybe we can get clearer pics of the sedan against a back drop of white slushy stuff, it might actually start looking good.
i think without the basket, this photo could be charming.
