And yet another round of teasers from automakers, this time from Porsche with their upcoming four-door, four-seater sedan - the Porsche Panamera. Porsche released an official teaser image that showcases the front of the car.
If there’s a Porsche Frankenstein’s monster it’d be the Panamera which, based on the front alone, borrows heavily from the existing cars in Porsche’s fleet (911, Cayenne, Cayman). Unlike the 911, the Panamera will have its engine up front, the power from which will be directed to the rear wheels.
Speculation has it that the engine range will be drawn from the Cayenne’s current 3.6L V6 and 4.5L V8 engines. In return, the Panamera’s platform will also serve as the basis to the next-gen Cayenne. Makes you think if Porsche is minimizing their development costs by reusing technologies across the fleet.
The Panamera has its own microsite which can be visited here. Expect more details to surface by next month.
