German luxury car maker Porsche will be launching its luxury sedan, the Panamera, in India on October 6, 2009. The Panamera was unveiled at the Shanghai International Auto Show in April this year. It is expected to be priced at approximately Rs 2 crore in India. Porsche’s products are imported to India by Precision Cars India, which has already received 13 bookings for the Panamera. The company hopes to sell at least 50 units of the car in the current fiscal. The Panamera has a top speed of 303 km/hr and can accelerate to 100 km/hr in just 4.2 seconds. It is expected to be available in India with multiple engine options including S, 4S and turbo power variants. Apart from the front passenger and curtain airbags, it will also have knee airbags as an additional safety measure – the first in the segment.
