Just hours after Porsche posted its latest teaser video of the next-gen
Panamera, three photos of the luxury sedan leaked on Instagram. The photos do
well to highlight the changes made to the front and rear ends, and show off the
Panamera’s sleeker body.
At the front, we see the revised fascia gets a new grille
design, headlights, and foglights, but the biggest changes happen in the rear.
Gone is the hunchback look of the outgoing sedan. In its place is a much
sleeker, more 911-like design. The proportions make it look much more like the
four-door coupe it’s supposed and less like an overgrown hatchback. The
taillights feature a new design, and run the length of the rear. The lower
bumper now features reflector strips just above the dual exhaust pipes on
either side.
The next-gen Panamera was set to be revealed next week
in Germany, and Porsche has released teasers leading up to the
event. The Nürburgring serves as the location for the most recent teaser
video, where a team of professional drivers suits up and uncovers the new
Panamera. We see the luxury sedan from above, but thanks to the lighting, we
can’t make anything out. Now that the car has been leaked, we don’t need to.
The track lights turn green and we’re left with a slight engine growl, along
with the date and time to watch the official unveiling of the Porsche Panamera.
Earlier this month, Porsche shared a teaser photo of the rear lights and a video
that highlighted the “madness” of the brand. Before the first video was
released, we caught spy shots of the next-gen Porsche Panamera nearly free of any
camouflage, looking production-ready. The new four-door will ride on VW Group’s MSB platform, and we expect it to offer an updated
version of the current model’s 3.0-liter twin-turbo V-6, a 4.0-liter twin-turbo
V-8, and at least one hybrid variant.
