The day before the public unveiling of the Porsche Panamera (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/19/shanghai-2009-porsche-panamera-finally-gets-its-public-unveilin/) at the Shanghai Motor Show (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ShanghaiMotorShow/), journalists were invited to the 94th floor of the Shanghai World Financial Center in China to catch a glimpse of Stuttgart's first four-door sedan. Providing further proof that both the Germans and Chinese are a persistent bunch, a team of workers proceeded to strap the Panamera onto a special pallet, tipped it on its tail and wedged the dark silver metallic sedan into the freight elevator to make the 1,394-foot trek up the world's third-largest building. The pictures tell the tale better than we can, so check them out in the gallery below, along with more live shots of the Panamera straight from Shanghai.
