One of the most anticipated new cars to hit the North American market will be the 2010 Porsche Panamera. This highly-anticipated sport sedan is set to hit Porsche dealers in mid-October, and is sure to shake the auto world.

The 2010 Porsche Panamera has been on the design block for some time now. This vehicle is a perfect mix of performance, styling and even comfort. The Panamera is roomy in the way that the Porsche Cayenne SUV is roomy, but is also sporty like the Porsche Carrera. In many ways, this car is in a class of its own.

The Porsche Panamera is a family car with a modern interior. It features the Porsche PDK, which is the double clutch transmission Porsche enthusiasts have been raving about. This makes shifting seamless, causing no power loss or traction when shifting.

It is even expected that Porsche will eventually offer the Panamera as a hybrid. Today’s Panamera is available with a 4.8 liter V8 engine, in a rear-wheel drive, four wheel drive and a turbo model.
