Porsche is busy putting the final finishing touches on what will be the heavily revised 2024 Panamera, and it shared a few choice details before the model debuts on 24 November.
The final test drives are taking place in Barcelona, Spain, and the main focus is on the powertrains, a new PDK transmission, and a newly developed chassis with active damper control. This follows a series of hectic testing procedures on four continents: North America, Asia, Europe, and Africa. But the big news is in the powertrain department. The updated Panamera has four E-Hybrid variants as part of a completely updated engine range.
“After already offering three E-Hybrids for the second Panamera generation, we will be adding a fourth plug-in hybrid in the new Panamera,” said Dr Thomas Friemuth, head of the Panamera product line. “This is our response to the enormous demand from our customers. In some countries, the proportion of E-Hybrids in the Panamera is almost 100%.”
