    Is this Panamera you mentioned (i.e. the entry-level with a 3.0-supercharged V6) selling here?

    What's the price?

    I visited the sgcarmart.com website and saw these prices from Stuttgart Auto:

    Panamera

    S PDK (A) $421,888
    4S PDK (A) $438,888
    Turbo PDK (A) $535,888

    Is this "entry level Panamera" one of the above?

    Very expensive ... I don't think I want to spend more than $400k on one car.

    Panamera is not launched yet - only S (and 4S) and Turbo so far. Entry-level model is usually launched around a year later.

    Panamera will use VWG (i.e. Audi/VW) 3.0-supercharged V6.

    $422k for S is quite expensive leh. Looks like Panamera may not be around $300k.
    Hopefully it will be. Otherwise, I may have to give up this idea. Too bad!

    Audi and Porsche join the pre-owned car market with new facilities

    by Derryn Wong

    Want to buy a Continental sports car straight from the official dealer with full after sales support and pay less?

    Audi and Porsche - through their official dealers Premium Automobiles and Auto Eurokars, respectively - certainly want you to. If you don't mind not being the first owner, that is.

    Panamera S is the "lowest" model for now. Panamera, the entry-level model, will be launched about a year later. It will have the VWG's supercharged 3.0 V6.

    Sorry!
    I was wrong.

    Panamera will have an all-new-Porsche-designed 300hp 3.6 V6 instead of VWG supercharged 3.0 V6.

    The Panamera and the Panamera 4 (i.e. AWD version) will debut on 23 April 2010 at the Beijing Motor Show.

    By the way, in the UK, the Panamera (3.6 V6) costs about £400 cheaper than the BMW 740Li (3.0T I6) but £2,700 more than 740i.

    The upcoming Panamera S Hybrid (full hybrid), however, may use the VWG's 333hp supercharged 3.0 V6 mated to a 47hp electric motor.

    $1.25M Lexus sold at speed of light
    2 units for Singapore snapped up before price announcement
    Samuel Ee
    The Business Times
    Friday, 5 March 2010

    How fast can one sell the new $1.248 million Lexus LFA supercar - the first that Japan has ever produced? Probably as fast as the car itself. 2 units bound for Singapore were sold even before the price was confirmed.


    In the spotlight: Sheathed in carbon fibre bodywork, the Lexus LFA can sprint from 0 to 100 kmh in 3.7 s and has a top speed of 325 kmh

    Authorised Lexus distributor Borneo Motors Singapore said 2 long-time Lexus owners snapped up the limited edition sports car before the actual price was announced on Wednesday.

    Before that, only a price indication had been given to prospective customers. William Choo, commercial director of Borneo's Lexus division, sent out official product catalogues before the Chinese New Year to 16 persons who had expressed interest in Japan's first bona fide supercar.

    'After the Lunar New Year holidays, 2 came back to us with their deposits, even before we could give them the firm price,' said Mr Choo.
    The two gentlemen who had each written a cheque for $80,000 are in their 60s, 'very successful businessmen but very unassuming'.

    One has owned a string of Lexus LS flagship limousines, while the other has had multiple Lexus models. Both also currently have Ferraris and Porsches in their garages, said Mr Choo who declined to reveal more except to say both men run their own companies.

    'They are very low profile and do not want to be identified,' he explained.
    The Lexus LFA has a 560hp 4.8-litre V10 front mid-mounted engine powering the rear wheels through a 6-speed electro-hydraulic sequential transmission (aka 6-speed robotised manual or 6-speed automated manual).

    Sheathed in carbon fibre bodywork, it can sprint from 0 to 100 kmh in 3.7 s and has a top speed of 325 km/h.

    If that still isn't special enough, the car can be specified with the Nurburgring package that includes sports tuning and interior carbon fibre trim for $1.478 million.

    Only 500 cars will be produced over a 2-year period. Mr Choo said that Singapore has been allocated only 2 units but hopes to be able to get a couple more. This is because there is strong interest from at least 2 more people but they are currently travelling.

    He said: 'They had heard so much about the car that they flew up to Geneva for the motor show this week just to look at it.'

    According to Mr Choo, Lexus is now collecting worldwide orders with production beginning only in December. He added that it is not yet known which market will be the first to get the car although delivery of the first Singapore unit is expected to be in Q1 next year.

    The Lexus LFA sets the benchmark as the first true Japanese super sports car because of its over $1 million price tag.

    It has entered a segment that is normally occupied by European manufacturers such as Ferrari and Lamborghini.

    Did you pass a cheque as a deposit to somebody in Borneo Motors during February?

    I guess my definition of rich is like my partner's aunt and uncle. I don't think i'll ever be even close to their fortune.

    10 cars in their house for the 2 of them, a range of super ex to a simple odyssey so that the driver can send one of their maid to the market instead of using their super ex cars.
    3 houses in the prime district, with one at 16,000+ sq ft locally, not including those they have bought in uk, australia, etc.

    And these are the assets i know of, the others I have no idea.

    Then in that case this Panamera model (3.6 V6) should be priced around $300,000 in Singapore.
