El mundo del automovil se ha vuelto loco: Porsche hace todoterrenos, el 911 lleva control de estabilidad¿?, Jaguar con motor diesel y ranchera, el mini es de Bmw, Rolls royce con motor bmw. Bentley con motor VW, lo mismo de Lamborghini.... La pasión de los años 60-70-80 se transformó en intereses comerciales....
El coche es bastante feo , no me gusta nada , bueno creo que despues del 993 no hay ninguno que me guste realmente.
De todas formas , al paso que vamos igual un dia los chinos compran la planta de fabricacion del mitico 911 y se pone a hacerlos como churros y a precios de saldo , tiempo al tiempo.
a este paso no se donde iremos a parar pero si una cosa se es que prefiero lo añejo ademas el 924/944/928 y 911 de la epoca dorada de porsche son los mejores por lo menos para mi claro que para eso estan los gustos a eso si solo uno de los noventa para mi es in superable el GT1
el carrera GT para mi no es lo que deveria ser
Pues parece que una parte del Panamera la va a fabricar VW:

VW may build Panamera; production concept coming next spring
Volkswagen is likely to win a contract from Porsche to make the body for the planned Porsche Panamera four-door coupe-sedan, sources close to the German sports car company said. According to a recent report, Volkswagen’s main Wolfsburg plant would stamp out and weld together Panamera shells in steel, paint them and ship them to Porsche’s assembly plant in the eastern German city of Leipzig when production starts in 2009. Volkswagen currently builds the bodies for the Porsche Cayanne SUV. The sources said the cooperation deal would sharply reduce the development costs of $1.2 billion foreseen for the new model. Porsche declined to comment on the report, saying it would not be releasing the binding production concept for the new model until “next spring.” It is unclear if the spokesperson was referring to spring 2006 or 2007.

VW could build Porsche sedan

Volkswagen is likely to win a contract from Porsche to make the body-shell for the planned Porsche Panamera four-door coupe-sedan, sources close to the German sports car company said.
Porsche has acquired about one-fifth of Volkswagen, which already supplies the body-shell for the best-selling Cayenne sports utility vehicle. Volkswagen uses the same body-shells to make its Touareg, accounting for the similarity in appearance of the two SUVs.
According to a report by the dpa-AFX news agency, Volkswagen's main Wolfsburg plant would stamp out and weld together Panamera shells in steel, paint them and ship them to Porsche's assembly plant in the eastern German city of Leipzig when production starts in 2009.
The Panamera, a rakish small sedan, is to be Porsche's fourth odel range after the Cayenne, the traditional rear-engined 911 sports car family and the lower-performance, lower-priced, mid-engined Boxster roadsters.
The sources said the cooperation deal would offer Volkswagen an opportunity to make a major part of a Panamera's value and sharply reduce the development costs of $1.2bn foreseen for the new model.
Porsche declined to comment on the report, saying it would not be releasing the binding production concept for the new model till next spring.
So far only sketches of the model have been shown.
The sources said however that a deal had effectively already been achieved.
An Austrian components supplier and assembler, Magna Steyr, had also vainly offered to make the Panamera body shell.
Porsche's acquisition of Volkswagen stock has been seen as a first move to create a kind of German Car Inc. Although Porsche's sales are far less than Volkswagen's, it is financially far healthier.
Dieter Zetsche, set to take over January 1 as chief executive of DaimlerChrysler, has denied again that his group is planning a cross-shareholding with Volkswagen, saying they were only cooperating project by project.
"We are not seeking an equity stake," he said in an interview published by the newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung on Friday.
Current joint projects included commercial vans and diesel engines. The German-American company was also studying an offer of a minivan based on Chrysler and Dodge models to help Volkswagen fill a gap on the North American market.
He said Volkswagen had invited DaimlerChrysler several times in recent years to take a VW stake as a white knight in order to prevent a hostile takeover.
But the two had never got to the proper negotiating stage, he said.
Recordemos que las cajas manuales de los 924 y 944 eran de Audi y las
automaticas eran de VW
El motor del 928 fue fabricado para un modelo de Mercedes y luego lo autorizaron para usarlo en el 928 y la caja automatica del 928 es Mercedes.
