A relifting and a cure of additional horses on the program to accompany the Porsche Panamera at the end of its career.
Future Porsche Panamera Turbo GT (2022) – Even for specialists in sports vehicles, the economic equation seems difficult to resolve between the electrification of the range and the maintenance of thermal. For Porsche, in particular, the investments are proving amazing to build its future models on battery, when the thermal is still a colossal stake with its conservative customers. This is why it would seem that the Zuffenhausen firm is moving towards extending the lifespan of its models fueled by fossil fuels, with a view to achieving substantial savings. Evidenced by the Panamera limousine, brought to benefit froma second restyling, in the coming months, six years after its launch, when it has already gone through the box facelift in 2020.
A redesigned face
In any case, this is what the prototype recently crossed by our scoop hunters seems to indicate. Nothing revolutionary in appearance, but we notice unique front bumpers with a slim opening above the license plate holder. There are also revised air intakes around which are built vertical light signatures. At the level of the bow, the modifications appear more subtle.
Up to 640 hp 100% thermal
For its part, the interior of this new Porsche Panamera could adopt a minimalist gear lever echoing that of the 911, as well as a updated infotainment system, as well as the trimmings. But it is especially under the hood that we hope to see the Zuffenhausen sedan evolve, with the introduction ofa Turbo GT variant, like the Porsche Cayenne, a few months ago, to increase its power level to 640 hp and 850 Nm of torque, with a view to dethroning the Turbo S to become the most powerful 100% thermal model in the range.
Until 2025 in the catalog?
The arrival of this new Porsche Panamera is expected during the year 2022, and should therefore coincide with a reorganization of the range, before a brand new generation replaces it in 2025, or 9 years after its launch.
