V8 Porsche Panamera Sedan to race in NASCAR in 2009 (http://www.neuralblog.com/_content/Porsche/2009-Porsche-Panamera-to-star-in-NASCAR_bid-467_pn-1.html)


Porsche has huge racing plans for 2009 -- apparently, according to them, they will be racing the 2009 4.5L V8 sedan called the Porsche Panamera. The idea is to go head to head with the Ford Fusion, Chevy Monte Carlo, Dodge Charger and Toyota Camry's in NASCAR.

Though none of these lesser cars could even hope to be placed in the same class or price point outside the track, Porsche AG believes it can no longer stay out of the very lucrative NASCAR race circuit.

I'll say this: The car looks good, but will never meet the NASCAR template standards.

I've been racing for 20 years, and follow the sport rather closely... but never heard of this before.
