2017 Porsche Panamera First Ride: It's Sleeker, Sportier, and Sexier
 
The hunchback from Zuffenhausen, also known as the Porsche Panamera, is no more. The new 2017 Porsche Panamera -- it goes on sale in the U.S. in early 2017 -- is a brand-new design based on the Volkswagen Group's trend-setting Modular Standard Platform (MSB) architecture, and in early 2019 the Panamera will also come in station-wagon form. What's it like? To get an early taste, we traveled the roads north of Cape Town, South Africa, land of ancient post-colonial tarmac, freshly sealed freeways, and dirt trails dusted with the world's finest red sand. Our convoy consists of five cars and three different Panamera versions: the beefed-up 422-hp all-wheel-drive V-8 diesel, the V6-engined 440-hp 4S, and the top-of-the-range 550-hp turbo.
