最近有人在爱尔兰拍到了全新保时捷Panamera照片。从这辆原型车外观判断，保时捷正在开发的是一款基于现行版的改款车，而非全新车型。该车与老款车有很大不同，不仅因为采用了新的MSB平台，而且车头和车尾设计也有所改变，不像老款车那么粗壮，而是变得更顺滑。据接近车厂的人士透露，由于新车更广泛的采用了铝制和高刚性钢材，车身重量将比老款车降低91公斤。不仅车重降低，而且新车还将搭载了一系列低油耗V6和V8引擎，这其中最省油的车型是Panamera S E-Hybrid混动版本。保时捷CEO穆勒宣布，下一代Panamera将在明年3月的日内瓦车展发布，随后将于明年下半年上市。

 

Reader catches the new Porsche Panamera on camera

One of our readers has sent us several spy images with the all-new Porsche Panamera he spotted in Ireland.

 

Judging by the prototype’s exterior you would be tempted to believe that Porsche is working on a facelift for the current Panamera rather than an entirely new model. It will actually be significantly different than its predecessor and not just because of the new MSB platform, but also due to a redesigned rear end that will replace some of the bulkiness with a sleeker design.

 

Sources close to Stuttgart are suggesting the new Panamera will lose up to 200 lbs (91 kg) as a result of a more extensive use of aluminum and high-strength steels. The weight loss will come together with a new array of more efficient V6 and V8 engines developed in-house and the most economical model of the bunch will be the Panamera S E-Hybrid already spied.

 

Porsche through the voice of its CEO, Matthias Müller, has announced the next Panamera will be fully revealed in March at the Geneva Motor Show. It should start hitting dealerships in the second half of 2016.
