Porsche produces 25,000th Panamera sedan

Porsche has announced that the 25,000th Panamera has rolled off the assembly line in Leipzig, Germany. The milestone car, a ruby red Panamera, is destined for a customer in the United States. Under the hood is a 3.6 litre V6 engine with 296bhp (300PS) and 400Nm (295lb-ft) of torque.

According to Bernhard Maier, Executive Vice President Sales and Marketing, "The benchmark performance of our Panamera V6 models wins over our customers worldwide. Even in the USA, a country with a preference for V8 engines, they impress with their efficiency and sportiness. The 4-door combines these aspects with the comfort and exclusivity of the luxury class."

The Panamera launched in September 2009 and quickly became one the best selling Porsche models of all time. In recent months, the sedan has outsold the Cayenne in the U.S. It was only back in December when Porsche produced its 10,000th Panamera.
