Come on guys, do you really think that Porsche would let something that ugly out on the street? I don't think so. How many of those panels are covering up the real thing?
I agree. Ugly. Ugly. It better have a low profile (i.e. PASM) and wide tires.
PASM - Porsche Active Suspension Management
This active damping system offers continuous adjustment of individual damping forces based on current road conditions and driving style.
The driver can choose from two setup modes, ‘Normal’ and ‘Sport’, using a separate ‘damper’ button on the center console. ‘Normal’ mode is designed for general road driving and circuits with uneven tarmac. ‘Sport’ mode is intended for smoother track surfaces, where the harder settings help eliminate pitch and roll.
In either mode, PASM continuously evaluates the current conditions while automatically selecting the corresponding damper rates from the respective set of mapped values.
A range of sensors are used to monitor the movement of the body under acceleration, braking and cornering maneuvers, as well as on poor road surfaces. The PASM control unit then evaluates this data and modifies the damping force on each individual wheel in accordance with the selected mode. The result is a significant reduction in body movement as well as a better grip on the road.
For example: if ‘Sport’ mode is selected, the suspension is automatically set to a harder damper rating. If the quality of the track surface falls below a certain threshold, the system immediately changes to a softer rating within the ‘Sport’ setup range. When the quality of the tarmac improves once more, PASM automatically returns to the original, harder rating.

Porsche will make sure this car looks great. There are some clear cues from the Cayman in there...
Spu photos of the Cayman looked terrible too.
Agreed. Look at the body panels. They are not smooth and resemble a cottage cheese thigh. Both the tail and headlights are clearly disguised as is the grill. The spoiler is also clearly a decoy.
I think that the Panamera once it is released will look very different from this prototype. Porsche is not known for putting out sub-standard products. The final product in 2010 will not be ugly as this car is, it will undoubtedly be elegant.

Ofcourse its camoflaged, but shape is shape. I know it is not RTM car, but body proportions aren't so well. Presently it looks like SsangYong, KIA or other Hyundai.
911s (all of them) and Boxster/Cayman are beautiful, but I can't say that about Cayenne (even about "new" one, after facelifting) or future Panamera (hope it will look much much better).
If it comes out from Porsche factories, it is a true Porsche. So all that BS elitist and retarded "not true Porsche" has got to stop.
ANY Porsche owner who shuns another Porsche is simply not a true enthusiast.
Progress is what keeps companies alive.
Very few companies put that much RD and thought into cars as Porsche does. Panamera will be a great addition to the line-up. I am glad that Porsche is thinking about longevity and is expanding line of products.
If the timing is right, I will have my name on the title for one 1-2 years after it comes out.
