With all the news of all the new cars shown at the LA Auto Show this week, there was one participant absent from all the festivities.
Agent 001 and I were talking about the lack of the new Porsche Panamera, and the fact it wasn't present for public viewing.
Let's be honest here, the big 3 auto shows each year in the USA are the LA, Detroit and New York shows. Los Angeles would be the perfect venue to premiere the Panamera as so many Porsche's are sold to people residing in Southern California.
Heck, Porsche pulled out of the Detroit show because SO FEW Porsche's are sold in Michigan.
So why was the Panamera missing?
We don't know why it is missing, but Agent 001 and I went on a quest to bring you what we believe to be the most up to date pictures of the Panamera available anywhere.
The markings appear to be production ready and offer a hint at the availability of both rear wheel and all wheel drive options as well as multiple engine options including a twin turbo V8 sourced from the Cayenne as the top dog in the Porsche lineup.
By far these are the most flattering of photos yet of the Panamera, and if your heart rate doesn't increase at least a little bit with the prospect of a true 4-door Porsche capable of keeping pace with the legendary 911, perhaps you stumbled upon the wrong website.
Weigh in and give us your opinion, on behalf of the spies here at AutoSpies.com, I am going to give this car 2 thumbs up.
While you won't find pictures of the Porsche Panamera here, be sure to check out the rest of the line-up from the LA Auto Show Gallery
