The Stretched Version 2012-2013 The Chrysler 300C

As automakers go, developing well received models is a chore all by itself. When a model becomes a hit, as has the Chrysler 300C, the result is favorable press coverage, high customer satisfaction ratings, and a "halo" effect that can extend to the entire product line. Chrysler's 300C is a hit, but the German-American automaker isn't stopping there. A stretched version of the car is being developed, one that may find a following amongst enthusiasts, but only if the price is right.

So, why would DaimlerChrysler authorize a stretched version of the 300C? For several reasons including:

The Limo Market - Although the 300C is not on the same level as the Lincoln Town Car or Cadillac DTS, the car does compete with the Ford Crown Victoria. Hence, taxi and limousine operators will be drawn to the stretched 300C as the car gives its passengers the room that they need.

Yes, the aftermarket crowd is hot in pursuit of whatever enhancements are available to improved performance for their Chryslers. Popular with the SRT8 set are performance exhaust systems and cold air intake systems. By combining the two, 300C owners can gain an extra 30 horsepower and as much as an additional 36 lb.-ft of torque!

Two manufacturers, Dub Air and Airaid, have developed performance air intake systems for the 300C SRT8 while Magnaflow Exhaust has captured the imagination of 300C SRT8 enthusiasts by developing an exhaust system that is designed to outlast your car. Each product helps to deliver more horsepower, improved torque, and the race car tone that can truly help your ride sound great and get you noticed.

Best of all, a fully enhanced Chrysler 300C SRT8 can beat the Cadillac CTS-V and you will still have more than ten thousand dollars left over. Not a bad deal for a car that competes against a Caddy that comes equipped with a Corvette engine!

2012 the 4 seater Porsche Panamera

Ever heard of a sports car that has four seats. Ever seen a car that is extremely sporty in its looks and yet seats 4 people with excellent comfort and provides an experience unparallel to any other premium sedan. Welcome to the revolutionary model Porsche Panamera that was developed exclusively to seat four people and yet integrate all the features that are typical to a high performing Porsche model. The Panamera exudes a look and feel that can only be matched with the high class engineering of Porsche.

To be different is the difference that Porsche is known for and without doubt, the New Panamera offers what any other four seater Sedan can never think of coming close. The Panamera S is a model which is built to last and get you out of the comfort zone, yet drive safe with your family and load all the stuff you can.

The Engine.

With a bursting performance of a 4.8 l engine that employs Direct injection to throttle a powerful sporty performance, the Panamera develops an astounding 400 horsepower to blaze through the roads.

The performance

With an acceleration of 0-100kmph in just around 5 seconds, A Panamera would surely give you the jitter to go beyond your expectations. The 5m long mean machine gives you absolute control at high speeds and is specifically designed to give your family the thrill of a sports car. The Panamera has a top speed of around 285 kmph.

Adjustable stability.

A unique feature of the Panamera is its integrated rear spoiler that doesn't normally show up at low speeds. Once the car cruises to around 70 - 90 km/hr, the spoiler opens up from behind to improve the traction. At higher speeds, the spoiler splits into two to become wider that indirectly keeps the car on the road at high speeds. Amazing stability at a high speed course is an important point that Panamera gives.

Safety and comfort.

Highly aristocratic upholstery with smooth interiors is a treat that Panamera gives. With an integrated Bose surround system is something that one can enjoy as one drives the Panamera.

The panamera has only four seats and is not a typical five seater like the other sedans/ four seaters.This is because a sports car with high performance must have comfortable seats at high speeds and curves. A huge boot also provides ample space for luggage and all the necessity for a family use.

There is no doubt that the muscular and sleek look of the Panamera definitely is a treat to the eye and being a four seater, does look pretty neat and sturdy when compared to the smaller sizes of the other Porsche models. To summarize it looks like the big brother of the Carrera/ Boxter models and is more commanding in its appearance.
