The Porsche Panamera Received the 2014 ALG Residual Award for the Premium Executive Car Segment

Dec. 13, 2013 - PRLog -- The team at Motor Werks Porsche of Barrington, the Chicago area’s premier Porsche dealership (http://www.motorwerksporsche.com/porsche-dealers-chicago.htm), is pleased to announce that the Porsche Panamera has earned the prestigious 2014 ALG Residual Award in the Premier Executive Car segment.

The ALG Residual Value Awards are widely recognized for setting the standard for residual value projections in the North American automotive industry. Each year, vehicles and brands are evaluated according to the success of the model, the marketing strategies, brand value, and how well a vehicle maintains its original value after three years.

In keeping with the reputation that Porsche has earned for building dynamic automobiles that provide world-class performance capabilities along with finely crafted, luxury interiors, the Porsche Panamera (http://www.motorwerksporsche.com/main-porsche-panamera.htm) has demonstrated itself as fitting the ideal of the Gran Turismo concept.

There aren’t many sports sedans like the Porsche Panamera. Whether drivers choose the base-level V6 model, the GTS, the Turbo S, or the S E-Hybrid, they’ll find that the Panamera has been created to provide a winning combination of outstanding driving dynamics and unparalleled comfort. All of the engines offer admirable performance:

The 3.6L V6 engine produces an impressive 306 hp, is clocked form 0 to 60 mph in 6 seconds flat, has a top speed of 160 mph, and delivers an equally impressive 28 mpg highway.
The 3.0L twin-turbo V6 of the Panamera S provides 420 hp, goes from 0 to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds, tops out at 178 mph, and still manages to get 27 mpg highway.
The 4.8L twin-turbo V8 of the Turbo S makes it the most powerful of the Panamera lineup, providing a robust 570 hp with 533 lb-ft of toque, and a top speed of 192 mph.

Rear-wheel drive is standard on all models except the Turbo S, which comes with all-wheel drive. The all-wheel-drive system remains an option on the other models.

Winning the 2014 ALG Residual Award is a significant honor for Porsche, and should heighten interest in the exceptional Panamera lineup.
