25,000th Porsche Panamera Rolls Off The Line
I'm sure Porsche has meticulous record keeping along with tight, pre-planned production schedules that are set potentially years in advance, so this should not be a surprise to me. I'm always still a little surprised though when they announce different production milestones like this.
Three…ummm…interesting Porsches
World's Worst Cayenne
The first is a bastardized Porsche Cayenne. A reader on Jalopnik.com came across an older Asian man that was literally supergluing fake rhinestones onto his Porsche Cayenne in the parking lot of a store. He had already added reflective tape, thermometers, compasses, pins, badges and lights as part of his customization treatment.
Porsche 928 Successor?
Several car sites are asking the obvious question about the sketch of the 2 door Porsche Grand Touring car above. It's an image used on the Porsche Consulting home page. Of course the speculation is that this is a representation of a 2-door Porsche…a 928 successor perhaps.
Chicago Porsche Dealership Video
This is a great commercial with some sweet footage of a Porsche Panamera in the snow. Wouldn't it be great to have a new Porsche, snow on an open lot and a camera? Or even better, a runway covered with snow!
Porsche Panamera Stingray by TOPCAR
Seems like Porsche tuners love customizing the Porsche Panamera. Not sure if that's a good sign, or a bad one. Most of them have been pretty subtle. I'm waiting for that one Gemballa-like crazy tuned version of the Panamera. This one from TopCar is getting a bit closer.
New Porsche Panamera Model
Late last week, Porsche announced a new Porsche Panamera model to round out it's Panamera lineup. This happens to be the "entry level" model filling in the spot on the lower end. It's an all-new, 300 hp V6 version. Two versions of this V6 model will be available: the standard Panamera with rear wheel drive and the Panamera 4 with active all-wheel drive.
TECHART Matt Black Edition for Porsche Panamera
TECHART, a couple of days ago, announced an upgrade for the Porsche Panamera called the TECHART Black Edition. I, for one, am a pretty big fan of these matt black edition cars. At least from what I've seen in the pictures. It definitely feeds that superhero fascination that lurks inside me somewhere. This would be a heck of an addition to that house in Japan with the space for a car in the living room (check the post out here if you missed it: A Car Enthusiast's Dream House).

Porsche Panamera On Ice
Maybe Porsche will give Disney on Ice a run for it's money (sorry, bad joke). There's just something about a Porsche on ice that is mesmerizing to me. I love this stuff. They test several different Porsche Panameras.
Porsche Panamera Technology Overview Video
I thought this video was pretty interesting. It's a little dry presentation wise, but the cutaway car, plus the graphic examples show off the technology really well. Didn't realize that the driver position in the Panamera was exactly the same as the 911.
Camo Porsche Panamera
This has got to be one of the stranger paint jobs I've ever seen on a Porsche (aside from Janis Joplin's 356). It's got a desert camo paint scheme. I'm not sure which is attracting more attention. The camo paint or the fact that it's a Panamera.
