What We Know

The 2010 Porsche Panamera is an all-new four-door sedan. It's lower and wider than a traditional four-door at 76.0 inches wide and 55.8 inches high. In front, there are contoured air intakes in place of a traditional grille. The 911 resemblance is strongest in the wheel arches and long hood line. The Panamera will be available with engine choices ranging from 300 to 500 horsepower, including a hybrid version. Engines will be mated to a manual six-speed or Porsche's new PDK seven-speed, automated dual-clutch transmission. The top model will have all-wheel drive as standard; it's an option on other Panameras. Full powertrain information won't be out till spring, Porsche says. The 2010 Porsche Panamera is set for official unveiling in the spring, with an on-sale date by the end of summer 2009.

What Edmunds.com says

Building a sedan might seem like Porsche is stretching beyond its limits, but the Cayenne's success proves that it can build more than just sports cars.
