The new Porsche Panamera is likely to seduce those who want to stand out from the business average. She has always been considered different and her appearance was by no means to the liking of many. Nevertheless, for years she attracted a small circle of fans and those who appreciated her special curves. Now a lady - she succumbed to cosmetic surgeons who thoroughly tightened her hips, smoothed out her sagging buttocks and sent her on the road in the second generation with a completely changed charisma. The Porsche Panamera has become - simply a beautiful Porsche.
Second generation Panamera becoming a powerful icon luxury class, which will appeal to those who are different and more aggressive - let's call them sports managers. It will express rebellion and, next to gray business sedans, it will be the envy of those who drive in ordinary cars. For this purpose, Porsche has systematically perfected the overall business sedan concept - the Panamera - the four-door has been developed and redesigned down to the last detail. Engines and transmissions have been redesigned, the chassis has been refined to perfection, and the concept of displays and control elements is modern and innovative.

If the Porsche 911 is an icon of automotive beauty - why not the Panamera?
First generation Porsche Panamera it was not the luckiest car in terms of design. Moreover, it was considered one of the ugliest Porsches. Over the years, we somehow got used to its appearance. This time, the designers boldly rolled up their sleeves and sharpened their pencils, skillfully copying the legend's silhouette - Porsche 911 transferred the family beauty to the new Panamera. And it's true - Panamera we can hardly be called the ugly duckling of the family Porsche. The most changes are on the side, where the cube remains a recognizable line for everyone, and on the rear, which is extremely similar to its brother - the 911 model.
The interior is new Panameras got a modern and innovative design. Smooth black surfaces and interactive screens combine the clear visuals and logical control surface of a smartphone and tablet computer with practical vehicle control. The number of classic keys and instruments has been greatly reduced. Instead, on the new armature Porsche Advanced Cockpit touch-sensitive surfaces and individually configurable displays dominate.
With many advantages for the driver, front passenger and passengers in the back seats: despite the significantly richer range of communication, comfort and assistance systems, the use and management of various functions is more transparent and intuitive. The Porsche Advanced Cockpit brings the analog world into the digital present of mobility. At the same time, it also leaves room for emotions: the central element of the instrument cluster remains the analog tachometer in the middle – as a tribute to the Porsche 356 A model from 1955.
