Spy Shots: Porsche Panamera With Open Doors And Boot

We've already seen aplenty of the Porsche Panamera. So its silhouette is a familiar sight now in picture. These new shots give us our first glimpse into Porsche’s new saloon and the interior door panels seem almost production ready. Porsche always waits until everything has been thoroughly tested, so don’t expect the super saloon to debut before 2009.

One thing we're sure is is that it will come with a relatively practical hatchback rear compartment where most of its rivals offer the more traditional boot. The rear doors look a great size. Naturally aspirated and twin turbocharged versions of the Cayenne’s 4.8L V8 producing 400hp and 500+hp are expected to be offered. A 300hp V6 version is rumored along a hybrid model.

Porsche 911 Turbo Facelift Almost Undisguised

Some photos of the next generation Porsche 911 Turbo have surfaced, this time the revised German storm spotted in winter testing. The largely unchanged, Cayman-inspired sloped nose and menacing black wheels are almost familiar to the spy cameras by now, but the snow dusting the black prototype highlights the redesigned rear bumper's exhaust outlets and air vents. These pictures also give us our first good look at the new LED foglight and taillamp arrays.

The revised 911 Turbo is expected to arrive for the 2009 model year, just in time to face off against the new Nissan GT-R.
