These Photos of the New 2017 Porsche Panamera Are Stunning"},"content":{"rendered":"

We know those photos of your niece and her first birthday cake are adorable, but just for a moment we need your attention. Porsche officially released the first photos of the 2017 Panamera yesterday, and you need to see it.<\/p>\n

As we\u2019ve already pointed out<\/a>, the exterior changes on the 2017 Porsche Panamera are subtle, but significant. Enough to sway some of those die-hard Porsche enthusiasts into giving it a chance? We think so, but we\u2019re sure there will be those who still dislike it for not being a 911.<\/p>\n

But even the most critical eyes have to give the designers in Stuttgart, Germany credit where it\u2019s due. The 2017 Porsche Panamera is different in all the right places. One of the best design elements we spotted was the Panamera\u2019s rear wing. Watch below as it deploys like an Autobot from the Panamera.<\/p>\n

Beauty isn\u2019t only skin deep, though. The 2017 Porsche Panamera\u2019s interior features a simpler design with more touch screen panels, a new shifter, and an infotainment screen that looks more like a wall-mounted flat screen LCD, and less like an old tube television from your college dorm room.<\/p>\n

And while the Panamera may not look like a 911, it can hang with it on the drag strip. Porsche\u2019s newly developed 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 makes 440-horsepower, and accelerates from 0 to 60mph from 4.4 seconds and comes stock on the 4S version.<\/p>\n

And then, there\u2019s the Panamera Turbo. Equipped with a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, this beast cuts through the air with 550-horsepower and 567 pound-feet of torque. That translates to a 3.4 second 0 to 60, and a new record on the N\u00fcrburgring. For reference, the Panamera Turbo is as fast as the $239,340 Ferrari 458 Italia.<\/p>\n

Sure, it\u2019s not a new 2-door sports car, but it\u2019s no slouch. The new Panamera has always been inherently different, but in the words of Michael Mauer, Director of Style at Porsche: \u201cyou don\u2019t discard major design elements, but instead develop them further, let them evolve \u2013 carefully but consistently.\u201d<\/p>\n
