Looking at Porsche’s sales numbers from 2021, the electric Taycan was a smash hit, nearly outselling the 911. The Taycan is so great, buyers seem to prefer that over the current Panamera which only sold 4,257 units in 2021 (the lowest of any Porsche model) compared to the Taycan with 9,419 units. There had been rumours the Taycan’s success might spell doom for the Panamera, but a good year ago spy shots of a massively camouflaged prototype of a new-generation Panamera indicated Porsche had begun work on a major update for the latter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our spy photographer has now managed to snap a new set of shots of the next (and presumably last-generation) Panamera bare most of the camouflage. The pictures where taken at the famous N\u00fcrburgring Nordschleife race circuit in Germany. The second-generation Panamera arrived back in 2017, so a replacement seems imminent based on the timeline of the original model, which lasted six years.<\/p>

The final product seems to borrow styling elements from the Taycan to make the Panamera look more futuristic. As for engines, there\u2019s no word yet what will power the next-generation Panamera, but previous spy shots hinted at a hybrid drivetrain based on the presence of two fuel doors. All of the angles in this latest spy shot batch only include the passenger side, so it’s unclear if the test mule had a charge port on the driver side. Not every customer is ready to switch to an all-electric car, so offering the next-generation Panamera as a plug-in hybrid seems like a smart move for Porsche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
