While there were plenty of people gawking at the return of the Maybach nameplate, we were a bit more diversified. That's because we wanted to see just what Porsche had up its sleeve with the all-new Panamera Exclusive Series.
Being based upon the Panamera Turbo S long wheelbase executive variant, it's the company's most serious vehicle when it comes to blending high performance and luxury. Something tells me it's highly unlikely you'll come across something so fast and so sumptuous delivered in one package.

The headlines have pointed out this vehicle starts at $260,000+, which means it will compete with the likes of the Bentley Flying Spur and new Mercedes-Maybach S600. And while those two options certainly will handle the whole luxury thing, there's NO way they'll come close to the Porsche's performance.
That said, Agent 001 made sure to spend some time with the vehicle as it appeared for the very first time in SoCal. According to Porsche's press release, only 100 are to be built — head's up, that's a global figure. So, if you want one of the most limited Porsche's to hit the market, you better act fast.
