[2013 Porsche Panamera Gts] :::enthusiastowned:::welloptioned:::44highrespics::: on 2040-cars
Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States
Purchased brand new from Champion Porsche, this single-owner 2013 Panamera GTS was custom ordered with many factory options that are not usually spec'd. Finished in Jet black, this car has the SportDesign sideskirts ($1,390), painted Rear Apron ($680), 20" Turbo II wheels ($1,820), Color Crested center caps ($185) and 3M window tint ($250) make this car look even more aggressive. Open the door and the Illuminated Carbon Fiber Door Sill Guards ($1,850) welcome you to the Carmine GTS interior package ($3,450), which is a combination of leather & alcantara with red seatbelts and deviated stitching throughout. The Guards Red Sport Chrono timer ($500) and Fire Extinguisher ($240) were added to match, and the Carbon Interior Package ($1,990) contrasts the aluminum trim to make the cabin feel extremely exotic. Upgraded Bose Surround Sound System ($1,440), SAT/XM/HD receiver ($1,120), and Park Assist+Reverse Camera ($1,255) take the PCM nav system a step beyond. The rear passengers this car never carried were not forgotten either!.. Four Zone Climate Control ($1,020) extend the carbon fiber to the rear console and Electronic Rollup Shades ($890) provide additional privacy. Porsche Entry & Drive ($1,090) and Servotronic ($270) are creature comforts the driver gets to enjoy. There is also a ClearBra ($900) installed by the dealer on the front bumper, which is all but invisible unless you feel the edge.
The car was built with a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear selector in lieu of the standard alcantara because it does not show wear (those who know oils from your skin deteriorate alcantara touch points very quickly). I also refused to delete the Panamera GTS decals on the leading edge of the front doors and trunk badge because while they are a subtle, they denote this car is not a pedestrian Panamera. All chrome trim is blacked out on GTS models (headlights and exhaust tips too) and the red Turbo brakes compliment the interior perfectly. Pictures honestly do not do this car justice - even the dealer said this was the nicest Panamera he had sold. It is a fantastic driving experience - the sport exhaust makes the 4.8L V8 sound like a 60's muscle car (it really does) and Sport/SportPlus mode provide an incredible driving experience (not exaggerating, its size defies logical physics) This car really is the answer to a sports cars' lack of practicality and to a large degree, eliminates the need for a 911. It is a head turner without screaming it. It eats up the road with ease and covers ground effortlessly. I have driven more than my fair share of performance cars and this car truly is one of my favorites. It has belonged to my mother since new and she enjoyed it on the state roads of NH in the summers. In cliche terms, it really is a mint condition bone stock, non-smoker, middle aged female-driven, highway miles example and has not seen winter, or a track for that matter! We are long time auto enthusiasts and take excellent care of the cars. For instance, oil was changed before scheduled services (as an out of pocket expense) for preventative maintenance because 15k miles is too much IMO! It now resides in our air-conditioned warehouse in South Florida and is not being driven anymore until sold. An unlucky situation for a divorcee is going to be someone's good fortune. While this vehicle DOES have a clean Carfax and has NEVER been in an accident, I want to disclose that it has had cosmetic damage repaired. Last year, the two drivers side doors were carelessly scraped in a parking lot. I researched body shops for weeks until entrusting it to Mike's Auto Body in Malden, MA who did a truly stellar job. I am that jerk when it comes to bodywork and can tell you the paint and orange peel match is excellent, enough so that I am as proud to openly share this about the vehicles history. I also have photographs of the prior damage to prove it was not a significant wreck and will absolutely provide them to a serious buyer to ease any concerns. Besides that, the only other flaw is the original tires are near the end of their life. Pirellis aren't exactly known for their durability, so >20k miles on a car this size speaks volumes about how the car was driven.. I think I have answered most questions but if you have any thing further you'd like to know, please feel free to contact me directly! img host |

2015 Porsche Panamera Exclusive Series is a seriously quick way to spend $260k
Wed, 19 Nov 2014Porsche is usually associated with being a sports car brand, but with vehicles like the Cayenne and Panamera it takes a step into the world of luxury against firmly established players like Mercedes-Benz. One way for the company to poke its head above the high-class fray is by taking things further, and in the case of the Panamera Exclusive Series at the Los Angeles Auto Show, it means pushing grandeur to extreme levels.
Coming in at an absolutely eye-watering $263,900, plus $995 destination, the Panamera Exclusive starts its life as the already sumptuous Panamera Turbo S Executive with a 4.8-liter, twin-turbo V8 making 570 horsepower on an extended wheelbase. To help justify the extra $63,000 for the Exclusive, though, the model gets 20-inch black Sport Classic wheels and an interior in swaddled in Nappa leather with dark walnut and piano black trim. Rear passengers also get 10.1-inch touchscreens mounted on the back of the front seats. A set of fitted Poltrana Frau leather luggage is included with each one, as well.
The luxurious sedan earns it Exclusive moniker because just 100 of them are being made worldwide. Scroll down to read about Porsche's ultimate limousine.
Volkswagen Group sales down 15% in pandemic year, but EV sales up 214%
Wed, Jan 13 2021FRANKFURT, Germany — German automaker Volkswagen said its global sales fell 15.2% during 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic but showed significant recovery toward the end of the year. The company more than tripled its sales of battery-only vehicles. Global sales for all of Volkswagen's brands amounted to 9.3 million vehicles. The fourth quarter showed a smaller decline of 5.7% and within that quarter the month of December was still further improved, showing a shortfall of only 3.2% from the same period the year before. Volkswagen said Wednesday that sales fell the most in Western Europe, by 21.6%, while China, the company's largest single market, was down 9.1% Sales of battery-only cars jumped 214% to 231,600 from 73,700 across all the company's brands. The company's electric sales leaders included the Volkswagen ID.3 compact, with 56,500, the Audi E-Tron SUV with 47,300, and the high-end Porsche Taycan with 20,000. Volkswagen said that its sales fell by less than the overall market, meaning it had slightly expanded its market share. “The COVID-19 pandemic made 2020 an extremely challenging year,” said group sales chief Christian Dahlheim. “The Volkswagen Group performed well in this environment and strengthened its market position." Volkswagen Group's brands include Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, SEAT, and Skoda as sell as truck makers MAN and Scania.
eGarage video features Helmuth Bott's personal Porsche 959 prototype
Fri, 12 Apr 2013"We thought we were going to build a super-911," said Peter Schutz, former CEO of Porsche AG of the development of the Porsche 959. That was before it started getting expensive. At that point, Helmuth Bott, Porsche R&D director got frightened. Costs ballooned because of the all-wheel drive, sequential turbocharging and other technology Porsche had never even thought about when it set out to build a 911 to compete in Group B. Schutz continued, "The amount of resources we were committing got totally out of hand." Instead of pulling the plug, Bott doubled down and drew on the strength of his brilliant team to build a car whose impact is still echoing aross the industry.
"It's probably one of our most prized possessions" says Don Leatherwood, Director of the Brumos collection where Dr. Bott's personal prototype resides, and where Frazer Spowart went to see the car and create a video for eGarage. Check out the sights and sounds of the 959 before it was the 959, and get personal takes on the car from Hurley Haywood, Peter Schutz and Don Leatherwood. Keep reading to see the video.
