Porsche 911 R explained by head of engineering.

nice fantasy, I can tell you spend a lot of time thinking about gay sex.

Good Lord, your comebacks are rubbish. 

[Mr.1derful]

I'll agree with you that a Ferrari looks better than a Porsche and if all you did with a car was look at it, that would matter.  Also, comparing a 959 to an F40 is like comparing a C Class Mercedes to an Honda Accord price wise.  The F40 cost twice as much as the 959.

No disputing that the 959 was well ahead of its time, but from a driver's perspective I'd suggest that the F40 would still be favored overall.  It's a more pure raw driver's supercar.  Personally, I just don't think Porsche did the 959 justice with the styling.  However, the 918 is really something in looks and performance.

Powering the launch versions of the Panamera are Porsche’s new turbocharged 2.9-liter V6 and 4.0-liter V8 gasoline engines, and for the first time, a 4.0-liter V8 diesel in conjunction with permanent four-wheel drive. All engines are paired to a new eight-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox and a re-worked version of the previous Panamera’s all-wheel drive system.

The 2.9-liter V6 biturbo petrol engine of the Panamera 4S produces a maximum power of 440PS / 434hp (+20hp) and 550Nm / 406 lb-ft (+30Nm), enough to push it to 100km/h (62mph) in 4.4 seconds or 4.2 seconds   with the Sport Chrono Package, and on to a top speed of 289km/h (180mph). It returns a combined fuel economy of between 8.2 – 8.1 l/100 km (186 – 184 g/km CO2) representing a fuel saving of up to 1.0 l/100 km or 11 percent over the previous 4S.

Sitting at the top of the range for now is the new Panamera Turbo with a 550PS / 542hp (+30hp) and 770Nm / 568 lb-ft (+70Nm) 4.0-liter biturbo V8 petrol. With a power-to-weight ratio of 3.6 kg/hp, the Turbo hits 100km/h (62mph) in 3.8 sec or 3.6 sec   with the Sport Chrono Package, topping out at 306km/h (190mph). Porsche says it consumes between 9.4 – 9.3 l/100 km on average, or up to 1.1 l/100 km less than that of the previous model, with CO2 emissions of 214 – 212 g/km.

A new addition to the lineup is the Panamera 4S Diesel with a 422PS (416hp) and 850Nm (627 lb-ft)   4.0-liter V8, making it the most powerful production diesel Porsche ever. With a top speed of 285 km/h (177mph), it’s also the world’s fastest production vehicle with a diesel. It can reach the 100 km/h (62mph) speed mark in 4.5 seconds   (4.3 seconds with the Sport Chrono Package), while promising combined fuel consumption of 6.8 – 6.7 l/100 km (178 – 176 g/km CO2).

All three of these engines are amazing and the performance numbers are fantastic.
This really is a four door 911.

I really loved the Macan, but after adding a few options the price quickly jumps to over $70k.  It's fun to drive but not THAT fun.  If you want to spend that you might as well buy the Cayenne.  I passed; the Audi Q5 is basically the same car for less.  I've been very happy with it.  

I think everyone needs a car to dream about that is just beyond their grasp.  For me that's the Macan.

You can getting fairly loaded up S under 70 but your right about the options.   The new redesigned q5 should be nice but coming out of Mexico makes it less appealing.

A Porsche evolving slowly over time?  That's so unusual.
