Vehicle Description
2010 Porsche Panamera S
In 1923 Ferdinand Porsche moved to Stuttgart to become Technical
Director at Daimler, where he assumed responsibility for the
development of the famous S, SS and SSK models, while also helping
to develop truck and aero-engines, etc. When his contract expired,
he returned to Austria where he at first worked as General Director
of Steyr. In 1931 Porsche went into business for himself, starting
his own design company in Stuttgart. And the rest as they say is
history!
What does one do when life gets in the way of owning that road
hugging sports car from Deutschland that you've always craved? I
have the simplestanswer, visit our Hallowed Halls and soak in this
consignment fresh through our doors. All the looks and styling of a
911 but with 2 extra doors and ample space to tote along your
growing family. Why not check out this front engine 400hp
8-cylinder, 7-speed automatic transmission, family rocket ship with
an ample trunk in the form of a 2010 Panamera S. This 2 owner car
presents in beautiful condition, freshly serviced by a Porsche
dealer, with a few minor faults seen outside and inside. It is
mechanically very sound, well maintained, and has a mere 55,235
title verified miles clocked on her. From the minds of German
engineers, and the spirit of Ferdinand Porsche a great sports car
priced reasonably...Schnell!
Exterior
With the clean lines reminiscent of models that have come before
like the 356 Speedster, this car cuts through the wind like a bird
in flight. Seams are kept to a minimum, and the ones that need to
exist are minding their gaps incrementally well. The entire car is
bathed in beautiful GT Silver Metallic. We note a few scratches,
chips and dings throughout the body as would be expected of a car
this age that has been driven and enjoyed. Xenon headlights sealed
in their aerodynamic environment lead the way, and on the sloped
rear a speed activated spoiler raises and lowers automatically atop
the rear hatch. On top is a factory electric sunroof to let Mother
Nature shine all her glory upon you. Big 22-inch wheels with minor
curb rash are wrapped in low profile rubber making this car handle
like a cat on the carpet.
Interior
Sport luxury would best describe the interior of this sports car.
Black leather abounds and has fine stitching holding everything
together. The dual high back buckets are power adjustable, very
clean and offer up a heated option as well. An aerodynamically
designed console races forward towards the dash, has a nice storage
compartment, and the leather knobbed and silver surroundedshift
lever. A litany of push buttons, controlling nearly everything from
the dual zone heater and AC controls to the seat heaters to
suspension modes just to name a few, are flanking the shifter on
both sides. The dash front houses the large screen infotainment
system which includes navigation, an AM/FM/CD stereo, and Bluetooth
capabilities. In front of the driver is a cascade of circular
instruments, keeping you abreast of all the car's vitals. These are
black faced gauges with white lettering and are fronted by the
original steering wheel, which shows virtually no wear. Swinging
open the rear doors allow us to make room for the family with2 more
bucket seats flanking the long low console which is fitted with
heater vents and cup holders. Above, a headliner in black is
surrounding the power moonroof and wraps everything up above nicely
and tightly, while below clean thick pile carpet down below
compliments the interior leather.
Drivetrain
A water cooled 4.8-liter V8 engine with 4 valves per cylinder
drives the rear tires. This mill is fed by electronic fuel
injection and has a 7-speed ZF Porsche Doppelkupplung, (dual clutch
for those not up on their German), automatic transmission backing
it up which puts power to a 3.55 geared rear axle. Our consignor
notes that this car was recently serviced by a Porsche dealer and
was also treated to new vacuum line, a thermostat and thermostat
housing.
Undercarriage
All very clean underneath with a mass of belly pans for better
aerodynamics keep things looking clean and concise. Slight
corrosion is noted but is mostly unremarkable. Red caliper dressed
4 wheel power disc brakes are grabbed by 6 piston calipers in the
front and 4 piston calipers in the rear and have anti-lock braking,
and this car sports traction control.
Drive-Ability
This car fired right up and had the beautiful exhaust sound that is
a signature of Porsche. My drive included some exhilarating
acceleration, especially on the top end...it just wanted to
continue to pick up speed. It handled very nimbly and was a thrill
ride to drive overall. I even allowed my crack decoder some time
behind the wheel as I soaked up the spacious rear seating. While
Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at
the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions
will be working at the time of your purchase.
A very nicely preserved example of Porsche technology from 2010.
This car has been well kept and maintained and put up after each
play date. The interior is barely used looking, and it sports
plenty of power to push you into your seat even more
snugly.
