The waiting is over. One of the most eagerly anticipated new models has finally seen the light of day: Porsche’s Panamera four-door was given its world premiere in China this week.

The new car will be available for sale from September 12th 2009. Klaus Berning, Executive Vice-President Sales and Marketing of Porsche AG, said he was proud of the company’s new offspring and anticipated conquest sales for the front-engined four-seater.

”Introducing the Panamera, we are entering a market segment completely new for our customers and we are once again consistently expanding our model portfolio.”
