I don’t know why, but I loves me some camera car build stories. The various outlets that build these vehicles all seem to have made a switch a few years back to utilizing luxury sport utility vehicles. The stable platforms and their smooth suspension setups helped create the types of platforms necessary for camera work. Now, the industry is getting out of control and more exotic machines are being employed to hoist the expensive camera gear and operating systems.

Our friends at BoldRide.com discovered the latest in the luxo-camera car world, and it’s been built using a Porsche Panamera. The car itself is probably the least expensive piece of machinery here. The crane and crane head run nearly $800,000 together. Here I thought my GoPro was expensive…

    I have two favorite camera cars.
    This GT40 was used in the movie, Grand Prix.

    The hatch on the back actually serves no purpose, but film crews were sick of having to see the Panamera's back end. In order to retain clients, Bold Ride disguised the Porsche. A key grip was quoted as saying, "I don't mind this new wagon. We used to rent some kind of weird ugly Porsche, but I'm really glad it was replaced by… you know, I don't actually know what kind of car this is."

    It definitely looks like something to shoot with. Shooting movies isn't the most obvious though.
