With the reveal of the new Porsche Panamera edging ever closer, here’s everything we know about the updated four-door porker so far.
The car will be unveiled as a static display in Berlin via a live-stream on June 28, but Stuttgart has released a steady stream of teasers aimed at keeping industry and consumer interest high. These teasers and have allowed us to nut out some of the details of the upcoming car.
Inside the cabin, rumours claim the centre console could be inspired by Porsche’s 918 hyper-car. Wheels is told this isn’t entirely true, with the Panamera having a clean-sheet design for the interior. Hopefully the sheet isn’t entirely blank.
The Panamera will also receive a redesigned twin-turbo V8 engine, which is related to Audi’s 3.0-litre V6. Power is expected to be around 547-horsepower – with room for more in performance models. It has confirmed to Wheels that two models will be available to Australian customers upon its launch – at least one of which will be a 4S packing a turbo engine.
Thirty-four Panamera’s have rolled off showroom floors so far this year, up nearly 26-percent on the same point last year.
With discussions on specs Australian customers will receive continuing, pricing for the latest incarnation of Panamera is yet to be confirmed.
