Panamera wins on debut

[Dinesh]

One race, one win. That’s all the racing stats we have so far on the Porsche Panamera and that’s probably all the racing stats we need to know on the Panamera S racecar that scored a win on its debut in a Superstars race held at Mugello circuit in Italy.

The N.Technology Panamera took the chequered flag 2.083-seconds ahead of the second car with Fabrizio Giovanardi behind the wheel. The 100 per cent race record would be shattered though in the second race as Giovanardi got tangled in a mess that crocked the steering and had the team packing for the early flight.



“We are of course happy and very satisfied with the results; pole position and victory in race one, a good loot debut of our newest car,” said Mauro Sipsz, the team principal.

The N.Technology Panamera is built on an aluminium space frame with aerodynamic enhancing parts and carbon fiber brakes for stopping. Motivation comes from a 4.8-liter V8 engine that pumps out 450hp, 50 more ponies than a showroom-fresh Panamera S.

Here’s to what will undoubtedly be more top podium spots for the Porsche’s porker.

nowadays look like petronas very good on their marketing.. sponsor on very2 good team...

 

[ultra_freeze]

yeap....they are professionally run and every marketing decision based on P&L.....
Luckily did not throw money after the bad by being title sponsors for Lotus F1...if not, would not get as much airtime as they have now with Shuey.....

Typical malaysian mentality...whenever ppl see a major local company sponsoring high profile events outside malaysia the question on needless spending of the rakyat's money ALWAYS crops up....sigh...sad indeed.
