We’ve seen official exterior shots of the Porsche Panamera. Now we can enjoy the view from inside as Porsche releases these clear pictures of the four-door super coupe. It shows seating space reserved only for two at the back and the leather-clad seats are of a sporting nature with immovable unadjustable headrests. Although there are two DVD screens at the back of the front headrests I’m pretty sure these will be an optional extra and not standard.
The cockpit is sporty, if not quite busy with plenty of buttons to keep the front passengers clicking away for every action. The PDK gear lever is highlighted in a blue hue. PDK is Porsche’s new double-clutch gearbox which is said to change gears quicker than Volkswagen’s highly rated DSG and as quick as BMW’s new 7-speed M-DCT. I had expected the sat nav screen to be a touch-screen affair but from these pictures I can’t tell if it is or not.
To emphasise the Panamera’s sportiness the most prominent dial is not the speedometer but the rev counter. The steering wheel features gearshift buttons. The Panamera is expected in South Africa in the third quarter of 2009 and it will compete with upper-level versions of the Mercedes-Benz CLS.
