Word on the street is that Porsche will present the second-generation Panamera at the 2016 Paris Motor Show in October. Until those moments come, Porsche engineers continue to put this thing to the test. Now they have chosen the Nürburgring race track for some final testing. And they’ve removed most of the camouflage prototypes were wearing earlier on.

The 2017 Porsche Panamera isn’t just more angular than its predecessor, it’s also lighter and more agile thanks to a platform known as the MSB. It’s the latest vehicle architecture developed by the Volkswagen Group, a modular platform that makes use of composite materials, aluminium, and high-strength steel. The more accommodating Panamera Shooting Brake will also use this platform.
As far as styling is concerned, everything is tauter, every single surface and body panel. Even the headlights and taillights have been made to resemble those of the 2012 Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo concept. As for the interior, drivers will have to bid farewell to physical buttons and welcome touch sensitive buttons.

Six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines will act as the entry-level choices. Eight cylinders will represent the upper echelon of get-up-and-go, especially the heavily-anticipated 4.0 twin-turbo V8. A plug-in hybrid model will complete the range.
