http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/04/panamera-taxi.jpg (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/04/22/video-porsche-panamera-gets-the-taxi-treatment/#continued)Click above to view the video after the jump (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/04/22/video-porsche-panamera-gets-the-taxi-treatment/#continued)
If you want to buy a used Crown Victoria taxi in New York city, it'll cost you about $805,000. That's $5,000 for the car and another $800,000 for the medallion. But when it comes to taxis (and almost everything else) New York is generally the exception to the rule - unless you're in Stuttgart and you're hailing the Autobild TV taxi.
The German auto rag apparently commissioned a $132,000 Porsche Panamera Turbo (http://www.autoblog.com/model/panamera) as its high-end taxi of choice, and customers were the ones who got more than they paid for. Hit the jump (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/04/22/video-porsche-panamera-gets-the-taxi-treatment/#continued) to watch the taxi-goers as they receive first-hand knowledge of the raw power of the boosted Panamera. Unfortunately the audio is 99 percent German, so all we could do is watch.
