The 2012 Porsche Panamera S Hybrid wows reviewers with its nimble handling and slick hybrid powertrain. But like the non-hybrid Panamera, this Porsche still falls short with divisive exterior styling.

The 2012 Porsche Panamera Base is equipped with a standard 3.6-liter, V6, 300-horsepower engine that achieves 18-mpg in the city and 27-mpg on the highway. A 7-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard.

2012 Porsche 911 Turbo S Coupe

        If nothing else, the 2012 911 Turbo S Edition 918 Spyder wins the contest for the Porsche with the longest and perhaps clumsiest name ever. But after a day of driving it on good roads all around Stuttgart's farm country and blasting along the no-limit Autobahn, however, we break down like always and decide it's pretty damned cool to possess any 911 Turbo S whatsoever.

                                                        2012 Porsche 911 Turbo S Coupe
       
      We’re at the world introduction of the seventh-generation Porsche 911, whose iconic silhouette, rear-mounted flat-6 engine and round headlights are touchstones to more than 700,000 enthusiasts who’ve put a 911 in their garage since the first one rolled off the Zuffenhausen production line in September of 1964. And as we roll through Santa Barbara’s sleepy tree-lined streets, we have the undivided attention of a BMW 328i driver directly ahead, recording this moment for posterity with his iPhone—arm thrust straight up, Statue of Liberty style, through an open sunroof. 
                                                       2012 Porsche 911 Turbo S Coupe 
       
        The new 911 is larger, but incrementally so. Overall length grows by 2.2 in. and wheelbase grow by 3.9 in. (now 96.5). Yet overhangs are trimmed, and most important, the rear axle moves aft roughly 3 in. relative to the engine (made possible by new 3-shaft transmissions whose output flanges are moved closer to the engine), resulting in a significant tweaking of the proportions, and a slightly less rear-heavy weight distribution. Add a wider front track—a full 2.0 in. wider for the Carrera S models we drove—and you end up with a significant challenge for the design team headed by Michael Mauer. Traditionally, the 911 has had a narrow front, wide rear look, so with the new car’s extra girth up front, some deft manipulation of rear flare radii took place to retain the iconic Coke-bottle contours. Do you miss the more exaggerated (and less aero-friendly) fender forms of earlier 911s? “Just wait for the 911 Turbo,” says Mauer. “You will not be disappointed.”
