Diesel Panamera Planned?
Monday 30th June 2008
Porsche could bring out a Targa and diesel version of new four-door
For
those of you who are still trying to get your head round a diesel
Cayenne it appears Porsche may not stop at sticking an oil-burner in
its SUV. According to Autoweek, the new Panamera four-door could be
getting a diesel as well, although we are hoping that it will be a bit
punchier than the 3.0-litre V6 Audi unit that is heading for the
Cayenne.
Audi also do a 326bhp 4.2-litre V8 diesel engine that would be
another candidate for the Panamera, which may be more likely than the
240bhp V6. This is not the only news for the new Aston Rapide
competitor – Porsche is apparently also considering a Targa version,
which would be a standalone Panamera model.
The three-panel Targa roof would be unique to the Panamera and the
car would retain all four doors. Autoweek also got a look at production
versions of the base and Turbo Panamera and said both cars were
equipped with front bumper vents ‘reminiscent of Ford Focus vents.’
We shall have to wait and see…
