Porsche Panamera Turbo x 2



Porsche's newest model is a four-door called the Panamera & is sort of like a stretched version of Porsches flagship 911 model; the 997. They are hugely expensive and sell for around 3,7 Million koruna here in the Czech Republic(or about $132,500 USD). Recent data state that the average salary here is 23350 czk/mo.

Last weekend I spied two of them, parked together here in Smichov, in front of a TGI Friday's restaurant( Yes, that is correct, a TGI Fridays - cost prohibitive here I might add). Both looked as though they had been driving through the snow and mud for quite a distance.

It was just really interesting to see TWO of these cars AND both together in the same place AND here in Prague 5, as if they were traveling together as well.

The Panamera Turbo, as seen here, has a 500 horsepower V-8, 0-60 in 4 seconds flat and its top speed is 188 mph or faster than you could ever really drive, anywhere, especially here in the Czech Republic, where towns everywhere are only about 4 miles apart and the highways are always bumper to bumper in all lanes.

but was interesting to see...
