Could The Porsche Pajun Be The First Car To Ever Take On The BMW M5 And Win?

Porsche is taking on the BMW 5 Series with a striking new sports saloon that will sit below the Panamera. It’s called the Pajun (as in Panamera Junior) and will rival top-end 5 Series, Audi A7 and Mercedes CLS models. Insiders say it will be more of a “911 with a boot” than the Panamera.

We’ve produced these illustrations to give you an idea of how it will look, and it’s set to be lower and shorter than the Panamera. Under the skin will be a cut-down version of the next-generation Panamera’s platform. Styling cues will be drawn from that car and the 911.

The narrow rear lights are inspired by Porsche’s iconic sports car, while the angular headlights and more rounded shape are both features of the latest Panamera.

Wait a second, didn't the S6 and E63 already "beat" it? Thank goodness I don't take any of this seriously.

The BMW M5 already lost to the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and Audi S6 in Car and Driver's June 2012 comparison test. The BMW M5 also lost to the Audi S6 in the 2007 comparison of the same three cars.

Autospies is clearly bias towards BMW as witnessed by its false headline.

I'm left cold by the rear end. Sincere best wishes to Porsche for taking on the iconic 5. Two icons, battling it out :-)

if it looks as good as the Panamera, it will be a hit.

By 2016, the Porsche Pajun might be somewhat outdated as most of it's competitors in this class will be completely revamped and more than likely much improved as well.

How would it? the same competitiors are being redesigned right now as well so if the next 5 series debuts in 2016 both will be contemporaries. In either case both are in early stages of development.
