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!
