LAcarGUY takes peek at 2018 Porsche Panamera

The 2018 Porsche Panamera 4S offers a number of updates to the original Panamera design, according to a post on the LAcarGUY blog.

The newest version has a sloping roof line that looks a bit like a long version of the Porsche 911, which gives it more visual appeal than the previous Panamera. The roofline on the original Panamera looked a bit odd to some car enthusiasts, the LAcarGuy post said.

The new 2018 Panamera can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 4 seconds, powered by a twin-turbo 2.9 liter V-6 engine with 440 horsepower. An optional Sports Chrono package beefs things up even more so the vehicle can reach top speeds of 179 mph. Although the car is designed for driving pleasure, a manual clutch isn't an option on the Panamera, but it does have paddle shifters.

The Panamera handles well and looks great, making it an excellent option for high-end car buyers, the LAcarGuy's blog post said.
