New Porsche Panmera and Mini-Cayenne(X3 comptetition) spy shots

[LeMansX5]

The Panamera will be a "sport-coupe in the premium class with four seats and four doors", according to a brief notice. The production vehicle is expected for the 2009 calendar year. The Panamera will be built at the Leipzig factory alongside the Cayenne, and sources are estimating an annual production of nearly 20,000 units. The sleek rear-wheel-drive four-seater will be powered by Porsche's 4.5-liter V-8 - either the 340-horsepower version, or the optional 450-horsepower turbocharged engine. A hot 500-horsepower version may eventually follow. The new chassis may be shared with Volkswagen in an arrangement similar to the one that spawned the Cayenne.




Even further ahead than a hybrid Cayenne are plans of the sportscar maker regarding a possible fifth Porsche model range (after the four door coupe Panamera). According to rumours it is about another smaller off road model based on the upcoming Audi Q5, this one being a smaller version of the brand new Q7. This Porsche compact off-roader is set to become a rival against the successful BMW X3 and the upcoming Mercedes MLK. No information about the looks of the “Compact Cayenne” has seeped through yet, here is just an artist’s impressions suggesting how such a car could look like.

I'm not diggin' them. But that is the first I've heard of the MLK, am I the only one? I'm also interested in how the Audi Q5 will turn out.

Nothing to write home about. Same with the Q7/5.

Thanks for the pics .

I think Porsche is getting a little cocky after having reasonable success with the Cayenne.
