Porsches version of our RX8

Porsches version of our RX8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Porsches upcoming 4 door GT coupe looks a lot like our RX8

What do you guys think ??


Porsche: Four-door GT Coupé as the fourth series
The signs concretize themselves that 2008 a fourth model row of Porsche come. Planned is a Coupé with four moving in opposite directions opening doors. As motorizing eight and ten-cylinders are intended.




Porsche presses far powerfully on the gas 2008 is fourth series to the start to go, which are produced in the work Leipzig. A four-door GT Coupé concerns with front engine and rear-wheel drive. A all-wheel-driven version is to follow later. As power transmission switching and automatic transmissions with in each case six courses are intended. Special Gag: The doors open moving in opposite directions.
20,000 units annually - unit price starting from 220.000 euro
Pointed-confined of this, which is to be equipped with eight and ten-cylinder engines (340, 450 and 612 HP) from the Cayenne and the Carrera GT, Porsche wants to set the ambitionierte number of items off from 20.000 units per year. Purchase price: not under 220.000 euro.

Possibly Porsche for the realization of the project still another co-operation partner looks for itself - allegedly the GT counts itself in addition, in self-direction.

The new development possesses one about 4.90 meters long steel body also lightweight construction-added, which is not only to offer four persons place, but also a trunk volume of 450 litres.

My wife was looking at getting a boxter..... I'll tell her to wait for this model then.

Afterall, we need space to cart around the dog, and the back seats in the 8 are a little uncomfortable for him because of the transmission tunnel running through the centre of the cabin.

OK, here's another article to confuse the issue. No hint of freestyle doors.

Auto Motor und Sport claims Porsche Panamera as fourth model PDF Print E-mail
Written by Yves
Wednesday, 02 March 2005
After months of rumours about a fourth Porsche model, German car magazine Auto Motor und Sport now published an article stating that Porsche will bring out a four-door GT with both V8 and V10 engines. This new model, which will have the name Porsche Panamera, will be presented to the public as a concept car this autumn at the IAA.
After the name Cayman for the Boxster Coupe, now thus the name Panamera for the fourth model. The Stuttgart's sportscar manufacturer patented both names mentioned above on the same day (15.1.2005) at the German patent office in Munich.

As stated before, the concept of this fourth model will be presented during autumn of this year. The most important facts about the new model is that it will be a four-doors and four-seater. It will be a front engine car with rear- or all-wheel drive, and both V8 and V10 engines with a range of 340 to over 600 HP will be available.

The prices are to be settled between 100.000 and 150.000 €. Annual production of 20,000 units is focused. The assembly in Leipzig is to begin in 2009

I think the description read better in the original German

The Cayenne is one thing -- a niche 4WD, but I thought Porsche had learnt a hard lesson with front engined cars in the 924/928. But, who am I to query VW AG's plan for world domination :p Just another platform!
