With the next generation Porsche Panamera set for release on 28th June in Germany, images of the said car have leaked online and gone viral. The photos not only give an extensive look at the exterior design, but have snaps of the interior and the engine bay as well.
The Porsche Panamera sits in a different league of luxury sedans. Unlike the Audis, BMWs and Mercedes, the Panamera is for the petrol-head businessman, combining factors from the mad world of super-cars, and the sensible world of luxury saloons. Porsche claims that their Panamera is the fastest luxury sedan on earth. However, the Panamera’s styling has always been a bit of a question.
Porsche has tried to change that by giving the Panamera a complete design overhaul. While the basic underpinnings stay largely unchanged, the changes to the design give the car a much sharper look than before. The sharp rear tail-lights with the brake-light running across the boot, give the rear-end a much better look than before. The roof-line too seems to have been changed, which now ends up looking like a shooting-brake. The front also has undergone a healthy dose of changes with the new headlight setup as seen on the rest of the Porsche range, and the LED DRLs which now get a double stripe design.
The images also give away quite a lot of the interior of the 2017 Porsche Panamera. We have clear view of the instrument cluster, which still has an analogue tachometer that is surrounded by an LCD display for the rest of the information. The rear passengers get a touch-screen infotainment system and seats that look slightly sporty with ample side bolstering.
The snap of the engine bay reveals a 4.0-litre turbocharged V8 beast. While the output figures are still unknown, there have been reports of the new Panamera being significantly lighter than the model it replaces, which will ensure an even sportier performance for the second generation model.
