I hated it initially in pictures.

It looks really good in real life though, especially the lowered Turbo with the optional 20s

The interior fit/finish and material is insane........smoked the S63 and 760i for sure.

550 hp seems like so much, then you realized the $48k Mustang GT500 and Camaro ZL1 both come stock with that much power. I guess American V8 power is cheap

I still don't like the proportions of this car. In person it's even uglier.

I'm already looking forward to the restyle (and before that I expect a couple of facelifts realistically). A lucrative sales success for Porsche as-is.

It is not my 1st choice either, I just like it on the road so there is more variety to look at, not just S-class and 7-series all the time, it does get old

2011 Porsche Panamera Turbo S is world's quickest production sedan

Porsche has rolled its new Panamera Turbo S into the Jacob Javits Center for the start of today's New York Auto Show, offering us our first live view of the new range-topping sedan. As we told you last month, the four-passenger Porsche boasts the same twin-turbocharged 4.8-liter V8 as the standard Cayenne Turbo model, but new turbochargers (with titanium–aluminum turbines) and some engine remapping bumps output to 550 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque. When the driver selects "Sport" or "Sport Plus" mode (the Sport Chrono package is standard), the ECU will allow overboost to 590 pound-feet of torque. With standard all-wheel drive, Porsche says the Panamera Turbo S will sprint to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds (knowing Porsche, that's conservative) and deliver a terminal velocity of 190 mph.

In addition to the new "S" scripting on the rear hatchback, the flagship model is differentiated by new 20-inch Turbo II wheels (with increased rear axle track width) and standard side skirts pulled from the Porsche Exclusive options list. The interior features standard bi-color leather upholstery (black/cream is an exclusive Turbo S combo) and Agate Gray Metallic is a new exclusive exterior color. Base price of the world's quickest sedan is $173,000 (plus $975 delivery and destination). The Porsche Panamera Turbo S goes on sale this Spring.

Looks bad-*** and menacing in a cool and awesome way. Oh and I bet it will sell like pancakes (for a Porsche vehicle)
