From One Blasphemy to Another

First Porsche decided to build a truck. Now, the German company has announced plans for the Panamera, a four-door coupe that will go into production in 2009. From the drawing, it looks like they're taking a page from the Mazda RX-8 in using four doors but keeping a coupe-like style. Still, the company that brought us the 911 and a string of other legendary road and race cars once against disappoints the purists.

Of course, if their new LMP2 car really lives up to its promise and floods the ALMS with cars, all will be forgiven.

UPDATE: Having viewed a couple of better pictures in this thread over at B15Sentra.net, is appears I was wrong about the RX-8 comment. I do agree with one person in the threat that the Panamera's rear end looks a lot like the new Mitsu Eclipse.
