A while back Maserati introduced the Quattroporte, its name means 4-doors in Italian, and since then it has been very popular. This 4-door supercar has been mostly famous between the people who cannot decide whether to buy a sports car of a bigger car for the family; well the thing is that this type of car will fit any one's needs. This car has a lot of room, a slick style, and specially more than enough power under the hood. Recently other car manufactures are following that same route, for example Porsche. They have recently developed the 4-door Panamera. Unfortunately this car is still a concept car but there is a good possibility that it will be launched in 2009.
The Porsche Panamera will be available with the 4.5L V8 engine from the Cayenne. This engine has around 340 horsepower, but there are rumors going around that the Panamera will be available with a V12 engine from the Audi Q7 which puts out a total of 500 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque! This is 100hp more than the Maserati Quattroporte, but it would be tied with the Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG that also has 500hp. Well it is no doubt that if this car goes into production it will sell very well, but it does have a vary hard competition that it will face. Oh and not to mention the Aston Martin Rapide which is also a 4-door concept car. We will have to simply wait and see what happens.
