i like this quote from the Automobile link for the person a few comments back who jumped a little to fast to rag on the car:
True to the Porsche’s tradition, its key strength is the impressive integration of drivetrain, chassis, steering, and brakes. And, of course, the cosmetic correction of that rounded back.

Lots of interesting new tidbits:
- Transmission will exclusively be a new eight-speed ZF-sourced double-clutch called PDK II
- Any Panamera over 400hp will be exclusively four-wheel-drive - no more Panamera S but rather just a 4S/4S Diesel
- ...although many articles are saying that the entire Panamera range will be all-4WD, including base models
- Five seats ARE coming as an option, but not as a conventional bench
- Wheels are 19, 20 and 21 inches only
- Lower overall body weight than current model including 100 kg of standard equipment that has been added
The range includes the following:
- Panamera/4 - 3.0L single-turbo V6 with approx. 350hp
- Panamera 4S - 3.0L twin-turbo V6 with approx. 440hp
- Panamera 4S Diesel - 4.0L e-turbo V8 with approx. 422hp
- Panamera Turbo - 4.0L twin-turbo V8 with approx. 550hp
- Panamera Turbo S - 4.0L twin-turbo V8 with approx. 600hp
** 4S, 4S Diesel and Turbo will come to market first
Panamera [4?] Diesel [rumored to be a 3.0L turbo V6 with 340hp], base Diesel hybrid and petrol hybrid will join the range later. Safe to say that there will also be a GTS further down the line with around 460-480hp.
Less than a month to the unveiling... here goes!

I have got the information that the Turbo S will be a hybrid with overall >700 hp or you are talking about the power of the petrol engine?
I am confused about the diesel hybrid. First diesel is heavier then adding hybrid technology makes it even more heavier. Diesel has enough torque adding electrical power will increase the torque so you need a stronger gearbox. For me it doesn´t make much sense.

I can confirm the Turbo with 550 hp, the 4S with 440 hp (and yes, no new V8 but still the "old" twin turbo V6) and the 4S Diesel (V8) with 422 hp...

Looks like the real thing except the wheels that looks a bit odd?! Front calipers are small and why put those old Turbo II wheels on the new Panamera? Clearly got the slim 3d rear lights and the front lights would probably be the new Matrix LED headlights with full adaptability á la Audi.

alexalex88:If that is the real deal we are in front of the ugliest sedan out there. A whale without any sense of proportion.
Just imagine the current Panamera with a "corrected" hump and Panamera Sport Turismo front and rear. Basically.
Not ugly, no whale but also not a small car.

I actually hope that's THE Panamera. 5 Series sized with the Turbo S engine.
At that size it will fly off the showroom in no time!

What's going on with that huge grill in the front facia camo?

Saw one driving in LA with minimal camo. Had to record a little.

Boyko23:Great looking!
The new Panamera takes Porsche quality and design to the next level, this is for sure. I just wish they changed the exterior sideline a bit more but hey, I guess people like the Panamera.

Wait until you see the new interior...
