Official Images of Porsche Panamera Interior

NOTE- If you are a regular at Indian Autos Blog, then you would have seen the interior of the Porsche Panamera. Well, sort of, as it has been featured here not once, but twice.

Porsche has released a few images of Panamera’s interior. Complementing the exterior, the inside looks very elegant, sophisticated and functional. The center console features an array of infinite buttons that resembles a Blackberry !

The steering wheel has thumb shifters to select the ratio of the seven-speed PDK dual clutch gearbox. Backseats seem to look as comfy as the front counterparts. This we think, is the only Porsche that will be able to seat ‘Human Beings’ in the rear (leave alone the Cayenne for the moment).

Hyundai Santro beats i10 sales; Exciting launches lay ahead- Exclusive Report
