Porsche Panamera 4S

When good friend photographer Dom Furore asked that I join him in Hilton Head N.C. and Savannah Ga. to photograph the newly released Porsche Panamera I did not hesitate to say yes. Not knowing what I was in for, we headed north on a 5 hour drive to Hilton Head in a trusty Ford. We arrived late and to my surprise the Panamera had been left at valet by the editor who had driven the car from Atlanta.

Next morning we all met up around 7am at the valet. Since the weather was bad the plan was to drive around and scout locations to shoot the following day. I was happy to see we lucked out and ended up with the all wheel drive 4S model. Green exterior with tan interior. Not my favorite color combination but who was I to complain!

It felt somewhat odd pulling into a McDonalds for breakfast with this beast of a car. Riding in the backseat felt similar to being in the front seat of a 911 accept with more room and more comfort. In the front seat it reminded me of a fighter jet. Too many buttons and gadgets to distract me from the pure experience of Porsche. In fact I remember wanting to turn down the a/c and couldn't find an 'off' button! How frustrating if I had just spent $100k..

Overall.. amazing car and surprisingly cool looking in person. Has a very GT look in that batman kind of way. The 4S model we had packed a mean 4.8 liter V8 boasting 400 bhp.. and all wheel drive!!!!!

One of these days..

For now I have some pictures to share.
