The debut will include presentations at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering at Quail Lodge; The 36th Rolex Monterey Historic Automobile Races at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca; and the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance at Pebble Beach Golf Links.
The Panamera has been eagerly awaited since Porsche announced it would build the brand’s first four-door sports car.
Porsche’s four-seater was conceived and designed as a grand touring car, combining numerous talents in typical Porsche style: sporting driving dynamics, a spacious interior, and the supreme comfort of a gran turismo.
The Panamera will go on sale at Porsche’s 202 U.S. dealers on Oct. 17, 2009 and will offer three models:
- Panamera S, 400 hp, 0-60 mph 5.2 secs, 175 mph top speed, $89,800 USD
- Panamera 4S, 400 hp, 0-60 mph 4.8 secs, 175 mph top speed, $93,800 USD
- Panamera Turbo, 0-60 mph 4.0 secs, 188 mph top speed, $132,600 USD
To celebrate the arrival of the Panamera Porsche has joined numerous prestigious brands in sponsoring the Quail, a Motorsports Gathering and the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.
While the Quail Lodge will be the backdrop of a Porsche Experience Center where VIP test drives will be conducted throughout the week, Pebble Beach has, for the first time, introduced a Porsche category.
The Panamera celebration also involves the 36th Rolex Monterey Historic Automobile Races where Porsche is the featured marque this year.
