Panamera V6 3.6L 2WD

The base-level 970.1 Panamera debuted in 2010, featuring a 3.6ltr V6 engine sourced from Audi. Initially offered with a standard 6-speed manual transmission, an optional 7-speed PDK (dual-clutch) gearbox was also available. 

Despite arriving later than the initial variants, the base Panamera was far from second-rate. Serving as an everyday passenger car, it delivered ample power, luxurious amenities, and a host of standard features, ensuring a premium driving experience.

For decades, Porsche had contemplated a four-door sedan before finally unveiling the initial photos of the Panamera on November 24, 2008. The first-generation Panamera revolutionized performance in its class, setting new standards for executive four-doors on twisty roads, despite mixed reactions to its design. The Panamera's development followed the immense success of Porsche's Cayenne SUV, convincing the company that a sedan would complement its existing lineup. Sales results indicate that Porsche's decision was spot on.
