Following the successful introduction of the Panamera in 2009, Porsche is expanding the model range by introducing two new versions of the Gran Turismo; the Panamera and Panamera 4 will be making their world debut at the Beijing Motor Show on 23 April 2010 and first UK customer deliveries for both models will start in June 2010.

Both the Panamera and Panamera 4 models are powered by a brand-new Porsche-designed 3.6-litre V6 featuring Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) developing maximum output of 300 hp and peak torque of 400 Nm. Featuring a 90o V-angle, the V6 engine sits snugly beneath the sleek bonnet and, following the Porsche tradition, the Panamera transmits its power to the road via the rear wheels, while the Panamera 4, as its name suggests, comes as standard with active all-wheel drive.

Porsche 911 GT3 R made its world debut at the autosport international show 2010. Porsche 911 GT3 R succeeds the 911 GT3 Cup S and is developed for racing series based on the international FIA GT3 regulations. The starting point in developing the 911 GT3 R was the latest 3.8-litre Porsche 911 GT3 Cup, which will compete in the 2010 Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup supporting selected Formula One races. However, the GT3 R - which weighs just 1,200 kg (2,646 lb) - has a larger 4.0-litre six-cylinder ‘boxer’ engine delivering 480 bhp and other technical developments designed to improve the performance of the car further still.

Porsche never rests on its laurels, whether on the road or the race track, and 2009 was once again a year of constant activity with the launch of a number of new models and new facilities both in the UK and Germany. The good news is that 2010 is set to be another exciting year for the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer, with further announcements and new model introductions planned.

2009 marked the introduction of the new generation Boxster and Cayman, plus the Cayenne Diesel, and the motor sport-inspired 911 GT3 and 911 GT3 RS. Furthermore, the 911 Turbo marked its 35th anniversary with a new 500bhp engine that underlined its reputation as the definitive high performance sports coupe. These were joined at the end of the year by the lightweight Boxster Spyder and the limited edition 911 Sport Classic. Of course, 2009 also heralded a move into a whole new market segment for Porsche with the launch of the Panamera four-door Gran Turismo in the autumn.
